Very researched and well written article Ahmed.
Thanks for sharing all the necessary apps for bloggers.Will try them soon.
Thanks for your feedback Usman, i am glad you liked it. There must be some other cool apps for bloggers, i tried to do some research and elaborated on some which i found worthy of being on the list.
Thanks @ahmed sir for awesome quality content and i want to know about BAM Analytics Pro, I have some readers for my blog having iPhone so that ican suggest this apps for my readers.You mention that can BAM create Google custom analytics report of our website. But on what basis it work ? will you please help me out.
Ohh Raza,
I though the Genius, Billionaire, playboy and philanthropist is you 😀
I have been using some blogging apps before, but you have share some great ones which I have never heard about. I’m surely going to use some of them on my 3G ;P
Thanks for sharing.
Lol, funny isn’t it :>, well may be in future!
No problem mate, i hope you enjoy the experience of using these apps on your 3g phone.
Thanks for sharing this awesome list of apps. I am particularly interested in Read it later app, sounds interesting.
Nice choice, that is a nice app, however, i find couple of seo posts a lot better as i am always checking on such stuff. On the other hand, apps allowing live blogging is a big plus as well.
Good list here. Read it Later has long been one of my favorites. I am a big WordPress user, but surprisingly I haven’t actually used the iPhone app. For some reason I’m just tied into posting and managing things solely on my laptop. Definitely will have to give it a closer look.
Thanks Andrew. Well, now that you have a list, you can try installing some and see if they match to your taste. Seems lke read it later is every one’s favourite app 🙂
These are the best iPhone Apps I must say, But I would recommend some note taking applications and a application that helps you do mobile blogging on the GO!
Signing off
–Vikas
Hi Vikhas, i am glad you liked the collection and what are the note taking applications you are talking about? would you like sharing some?
EverNote is one of those apps.
Very nice list, Ahmed. I don’t have an iPhone (yet), but I have the HootSuite and Blogsy on my iPad. I absolutely love the Blogsy app. Really great when I get an idea for a post while I’m away from my laptop.
I just have to point out that there is more to using CoverItLive than just simply installing the app. I just downloaded it and tried to use it. You need to sign up for a membership with CoverItLive in their website and choose a pricing plan before you can use this. I’ve just signed up with their free plan so that I can give this a try during an event I’ll be covering next week and see how it goes.
Hey Adeline, nice to know you like the list. Indeed blogsy is nice. People go through real life problems and that is when we get to see really nice stuff, and this app is certainly conceived through one of these ideas.
Yes try with the free version first, if you like it you can move on to paid version later. I hope your live blogging experience with Coveritlive goes extremely well, do drop by a short review or comment about the experience with this application 🙂
This is a great list. Do you know if these apps are available for android phones? And will they be available for the new Windows 8 app store?
Thanks for the post.
There are a lot of apps available for android as well and i am sure all these apps are cross platform. You can search their names in android appstore and you might find most of them out there. Since Windows phone 8 is not released yet, i am not sure if these apps would work on it.
Nice apps you have here. As for me, I use the WordPress.
This is because I use it to write articles when I am on the go and also easy for moderation of comments.
Great post. Some stuff I’m excited to check out here. However, Read It Later no longer exists per their company’s rebranding. You can find the updated platform in the app store as “Pocket”.
Thanks and you are right Amy, its been rebranded as Pocket and glad that you mentioned it here.
all the apps are just awesome . i was using some of them only but now i will download allo of them..thanks for sharing such useful apps with us…
Really great. I am going to test few of them. Lets see if they really do any good for me..
Hello Raza, these apps are really useful for a blogger. Now one can blog while on run- I think.
Hello Santosh, thanks for liking buddy. Yes, as long as you have a pda and have access to internet, any one can blog any time any where, that was the purpose of this post 🙂
iPhone users are increasing day by day. Certainly these iPhone apps will help bloggers who love to blog from iPhone 🙂
Hey Ahmed you’ve listed some great apps here WordPress and Houtsuite are amongst the ones I’m most familiar with, not too sure about the rest so will take alook.
The WordPress App is my favorite for my traveling Blog! I usually just find it easy to publish my traveling pics over my blogs on the Go! I have seen HootSuite to be much productive for social measurement over desktops, never tried over Android! Thanks Ahmed
I use android, but most if not all are available for android as well. I seriously think blogger app for android sucks, there is nothing more than just creating posts and managing them, they could’ve added at least the page elements section to the app. I’m trying hootsuite now, so let me see what happens.
And yeah, the BAM analytics too caught my eye.
Nice post, thanks for all the hard work and research you put in.
Thanks for genuine appreciation, that certainly boosts the moral and encourages to put in more research and depth while writing the content. Bam analytic is probably one of the coolest app for seo guys and website owners.
Thanks for this. I don’t think I would find all of these useful but I certainly going to go away and hunt down “WhatTheFont”, what a neat idea! Thanks!
Yea, nice pick, i was trying to search for font style of a website other day, never knew there is an app for it then, but now we all know.
I have just tried a few of the apps, and I use HootSuite and WordPress every single day. But I also use 30/30 for productivity and Reeder to read and comment on posts and pocket to read offline.
I need to test the SEO app. That’s something I’ve been looking for.
Yes try out the seo app, but please note desktop and laptops etc are always better over smaller devices for such tasks, these apps are when we cant get hold of computers on instant. You mentioned about productivity apps, you should checkout this list of business/productivity apps for iphone, you might find some useful. http://hellboundbloggers.com/2012/08/04/vital-iphone-apps-for-business-people/
Hi Raza!
Great list and I love the wordpress app for iphone as it gives me lots of options to do wordpress related work during traveling.
Thanks for compiling a great list.
Hy Ayaz, good to know that. Try out some other apps as well and see how they add up to your over all performance on the go 🙂
I don’t have an iPhone 🙂
But these do look like some sick apps you can use on an iPhone.
Well, there and apps for android bloggers as well, so you might want to try out those. Some of the apps mentioned above can also be found in Google play store.
Nice article. I use the WordPress app and I like the apps Blogsy and Hoot Suite you showed me. It’s interesting to see that you write about mobile apps right now because I started an article series called “Blogging 2 go” just a few days ago, so I might link to this post in one of the following articles in this series. Thanks for the interesting apps you showed here.
Well I was using WordPress app for really long time, but I guess I have to try others too. Thank you very much for this list!
I was aware of some of this apps, and i admit, i’m using the blogger & wordpress apps as i have blogs on both platforms.
I have tried to work on my blog on my iphone but I find it brutal, so I no longer do it.
Excellent apps collection for bloggers.
Hope will get few more good apps.
I personally want keyword research tool app for Android.
Thanks for sharing.
Blogsy seems like a very important application for me because we can use and update more than one blogs through it very easily. It can be done almost everywhere I go. The photo uploading feature makes it more effective when it comes to maintain a blog while travelling to various places.
Hi Ahmed,
Most of the apps listed above are also available for Android. I use WordPress for Android, WhatTheFont and Calendar Event Reminder which is similar to Hoot Suite for iOS.
Ahmad you have done a great job with a nice research only this type of article you can write but most important are those application you involved in this they make my life so easy and help me to update my blogs or albums all the time when I am in traveling or in any recreational activities
thanks a lot for sharing the excellent apps,i will sure try it all ….great work
Thanks for working on the apps for iPhone. However I never heard about blogsy and bam analytics pro but now I think I missed the important ones. Look forward to reading your future posts. Cheers.
Wow! I was not aware of so many neat apps for my iphone!
I do use Hootsuite and it has kept me in the social media loop while on the road. Which has been a lifesaver when I want to stay in the blogging loop with my readers and friends.
One app that I totally love in Evernote. It helps me to remember so much while on the go and it automatically syncs to my Evernote on my browser. It’s like a beefed up bookmarking system.
~Allie
Hey Allie, thanks for dropping by. I agree, Evernote is one of all time favourite productivity app.
I miss my iphone a lot because the Samsung I have is very low quality, but my wife has the Samsung 3 and it’s so much better than my iphone 4 it’s ridiculous. I’ve used a few of these but in all reality, I only enjoy Twitter and Facebook for smart phones.
Ah i can understand, iPhone is certainly the Rolls Royce of mobile phones and Samsung probably the BMW? anyway, Apple is trying to get at least 4 of Samsung’s phones, one of which is S3 🙂
Its like, i was working 16 hours from my lappy after that by having this apps on my Cell So again its diverts my mind to it only.
But its useful if we went out side for somedays so we can use this apps.
Interesting & nice share.
Keep these apps for performing tasks on the go and not to perform regular actions all the time. Since you are already spending 16 hours working on websites, if you get addicted to these apps, you will be using them all the time in your bed and stuff like that, which will cause productivity drain and quality of life shall go down.
Hello Ahmed Raza,
All the apps are just Aweysome . i was application some of them alone but now i will download allo of them..thanks for administration such advantageous apps with us…
The WordPress app for iPhone has completely exceeded all my expectations, I didn’t think they’d be able to replicate the simplicity of the WP Dashboard on a smaller scale – but they have. Blogging on the go easy getting easier and easier.
Yep they have, you should try other apps too, one of which allows you to play around dashboards of multiple blogging platforms.
Indeed they are, both android and IOS and favorite platforms for developers, so if one thing is being built for one, they make same thing on the other platform to have wider outreach.
I am an iPhone user. You list must contain Evernote app. Its a very good app for people who blog from iPhone and it is a crossplatform application.
I am first time hearing about SEO Automatic.
Thanks for the list.
I agree, well at the time of writing, i had to deliberately skip some apps to meet the 10 items in the post, however, i knew someone would raise up evernote and some other great apps in the comments section. Thanks for mentioning.
Also, I feel that document ( a free iphone app) and pages (a paid iphone app) is also worth mentioning. These are for typing.
I also like SEcockpit and SEOStats whose paid versions are worth paying for.
Great list there, use many of these apps on my iPhone and iPad and cannot imagine managing my blog without some of these on my phone. Surprising though, that Evernote didnt make the list. For me, it is as important as Hootsuite – two apps that I as a blogger use the most frequently.
Evernote is one hell of an app, but that counts more towards productivity and business. Regardless of its nature, i agree that it should have had been on the list.
I’ve been wondering what bloggers are using to cover a live event! Now I can bookmark (and possibly download later) the Coveritlive app in case I ever want to cover a live event (like a product launch)
Hey Michael, nice to see you here 🙂 Well most of the time such events are covered on their laptops, but lately with advent of large screen mobiles, i am sure trend in covering such events with mobiles is ever increasing.
Thanks for sharing these apps! Hoot Suite looks very useful, I think I’ll be giving that one a try. I already use What the Font and Read it Later – I couldn’t live without them!
Hi Rich. Most f these apps are worth trying, do check out all or the ones you deem most important, i hope these apps help you out.
Word press ap seems like efficient tool for word press bloggers It have smart features to plublish blog post, photos and other events. So this is great tool for I phone for bloggers.
I donot use an Iphone as of now, but still if I ever choose to use this smart phone, I would like to use all these applications that actually help a lot in blogging. However, to be particular, Blogger excites me a lot when I read that multiple blogs can be operated through this application.
I wish Blogger had a better developed and more intuitive app for the iPad too. It would be great fun to write articles on it while on the go, somewhat like WordPress’s iPad application.
Well you can use alternate apps which allows seamless blogging on blogger platform, matter of fact same apps allow to add posts on multiple other blogging platforms, such as WP.
Very useful apps! Of all, I like Blogsy the most.
still blogging is limited to iPads not iPhones
lets see in the future
Hey Reeja, can you please elaborate on what you particularly mean?
Great list there, use many of these apps on my iPhone and iPad and cannot imagine managing my blog without some of these on my phone. Thanks for sharing these apps! Blogsy looks very useful.
THANKSS
i would surely get all this apps when i finally own an iphone
BAM Analytics Pro i never heard before about this . Thanks for the list definitely useful when we are away from home.
Hi Ahmed Raza, Great Collection of apps. I heard some apps from the above list and i didn’t heard some of them. Thanks for the great list.
Hello Ahmed
You have really peeped into the research. Because of iphone there is revolution in the industry. Now iPhone 5 is introduced that is slim and have advance features than iPhone 4.
Thank you for sharing! I currently have the WordPress application in my Iphone but I get to use it just once. I will try to post more blogs using it.
Hi Kaye, since its been while i was going through the post and came across your comment, i am wondering if you got a chance to use your WP app for iphone? how did it go through? did you find it useful or you would still prefer to write on your laptop/desktop?
Thanks for the collection. I also installed the wordpress app, but actually I usually use the browser if I need to do some quick configuration changes.
Really blogging and writing articles from my iphone is something I don’t really do. But the phone can be ideal for research purposes.
I also use the google Analytics pro app for analysing google analytics data.
Hi Ileane! It’s always a pleasure to be here, I have become immensely dependent on my iPhone and I definitely like the idea of being able to utilize all these apps while I’m on the go. Thanks for making these recommendations.
This is awesome! I never really thought about using a WordPress App to blog when I travel. i usually just take my laptop with me. But since I speak at lots of blogging conventions, this would be handier for me! Thanks for the tips!
This is indeed a great list, though i already use some of the apps, i cant wait to add the rest to my list and try them out. Thanks for your post.
Hi Nwosu, great that you found it interesting, let me know if you finally managed to put other apps to use or if you have found any better alternatives?
Hi Ahmed
Awesome Summary with easy explanation All point of this article are valuable & useful. I agree with you. Thanks for share it.
I like wordpress most as its the only iPhone application that allows you write, post,upload photos, edit pages and manage comments for your blog from your iPhone.
Thanks for providing Smartest iPhone Apps information.Your Blogs meets all the requirements of the readers and is user friendly and provide the best and best information to the reader.
Thank you so much for share the great list…!!!!
Blogsy and HootSuite are amazing. On the analytics side, I’d recommend Dashboard and Fast Analytics for iOS users. Both rely on Google Analytics (there isn’t an official app for that) and both bring out the best in terms of interface and data.
This is the kind of comment i was looking for, adding value to the community. I shall try out the apps you proposed and see how they speed up my word 🙂
Thank you for sharing your knowledge in blog. I seem these are the best iPhone apps for blogger, I think i missed the important ones. If i never done any blogging through phone, but i will try it.
I am unaware of the other apps except WordPress. WIll give it a shot today.
Also, the WP app is crashing too much on my iPhone 5.
Hey Anchit, Check the latest version of WordPress app, i am sure that shall sort out the crashing problem. Let me know of your thoughts if it still crashes?
I Agree evernote is pretty cool. I put it on my ipad, iphone and my laptop. Now I can take notes and see them with whatever I am using.
Never heard of whats that font but I am gonna use it now, thanks for the tips.
I used Hootsuite a good deal on my iPhone. This is timely for me because I was wondering about wordpress! Thanks.
Hello!
Even though I am more of an Android geek I also use iPhone and lots of apps for it. This is a great list. Thank you so much. I thought I knew all the best apps but it seems I was wrong. I wish there were more such lists!
There are many more apps, the list is only consisted of apps which i found to be useful. There are some very nice apps listed in comments by other bloggers.
Thanks for this article Ahmed Raza. I have iPhone 5 i would sure use this app, thanks again for this article
Nice one, the wordpress app will be useful, I have it installed though I don’t use t often, The SEo automatic seems like something I’ll want to lay my hands on, Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing these apps. I also have a blog and I have purchased an iPhone. I was in search of new apps which can be helpful for me and my blog and I found all apps in the same place. Thanks Again.
I know about this because many apps available in iTunes and another websites but this apps is beneficial for live life to easy. I downloaded this apps in my iPhone smartphone.
Hai Ahmed Raza,
For now, I do not use iphone, but since this post, I wanted to have iphone, to be able to have all of these applications. Thanks for your tips.
I personally use Hoot Suite.. I think this is the best social media tool for getting your posts noticed and clicked on Twitter.
I would like recommend RapidProtect, this is also a best app to track family, friends and business members with lots of advanced collaboration features available in it. App is available at (rapidprotect DOT net) and developed by Rapidsoft Systems Inc.
Also a another app i am using mobipixie app (mobipixie DOT com) to send out high-quality, customized, color postcards (greetings) from mobile phone and it is also a great app.
I personally have a very good experience with app called “read it later” ,I would say its a must have app for bloggers, and ya thanks for sharing this amazing list 🙂
Hey Ahmed,
Well researched list of apps for bloggers. Thanks for sharing. Are there any alternatives for these apps to use in an android smartphone as well? Suggestions, please.
I love the app Hootsuite from the list. I particularly used it and it will be a great tool to schedule the social media posts as per our convenience.
Explained in a well detailed manner dude. Keep up the good work.
Very well crafted article Ahmed! Boost in smartphone usability is really helping end user and app development companies to take user experience to the next level. Great research.
