The best blogging apps for Android also allow you complete freedom of movement, especially if you are a micro blogger who loves to post short and sweet posts on your blog, but doesn’t want the additional baggage of a laptop everywhere you go. One of the best things about Android is its ability to connect with almost any Bluetooth enabled keyboard, so combining a full keyboard with your Android smartphone or tablet is very easy. It is also easier if you have an OTG adapter that converts the micro USB or USB type C into a fully sized USB port that you can use to plug in a regular keyboard into your Android device. This will make it extremely easy to type full-sized articles on your Android device without having to carry around a large laptop. Note: The best blogging apps for Android were tested on a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and a Sony Xperia Z smartphones. All of the apps worked fine and without any major issues, I did run into a few update issues but they were due to my bad Internet connection. Thankfully, most of the apps allow you to save post as drafts, so you can later update them when you do have a better connection. All the apps will need an active Internet connection to provide the full feature set.
1. WordPress
Sometimes blogging is easy and sometimes you need to be in a perfect space to type out more than a few words, but with these great blogging apps for Android on your side, you’ll decide when and how to write. For optimal on-the-go workflow, you can even combine these with a great voice to text app, so you can write hands free from almost anywhere. First of all, the platform is very user-friendly and allows almost anyone to easily post text based blogs on their website. Now you can get the power of publishing on your Android smartphone or tablet and easily create blog posts for your WordPress-based website. Although not all of the browser based tools are available on the mobile version of WordPress, basic posting, and editing features are present, writing, editing, and publishing your posts is as easy as it is on the desktop. I would say that overall the app developers have done a great job of keeping the interface simple and easy to understand. Posting from almost anywhere is quite easy with this app, and it’s completely free. I consider the WordPress mobile app a must have for those who want to update their website on the go. Free Version
2. Blogger
This app is really meant for composing a post that you can easily save as a draft or immediately publish. It also allows you to edit the existing posts on your blog, view your saved and published posts, and embed that image into the post you’re writing, but that’s the extent of the app. Quite honestly, sometimes that’s all you need. However, we would have loved a little bit more support from Google themselves, and perhaps a better array of editing tools. If you are simply looking to post short and sweet blog posts on your website, this is certainly the best app you can get. Free Version
3. Medium
One of the best things about Medium is that it gives you access to a community of other writers who will surely read your content, and you can read theirs, too. This results in a sharing of ideas and reactions that far exceeds what you can achieve with an independent blog. I highly recommend Medium if you are a very opinionated person and want others to listen what you have to say. You can always link your personal blog at the end of post and, if your thoughts are valuable to others, they will inevitably follow your blog. This is also a great way to post guest articles and drive some traffic to your own blog. Free Version
4. Blogaway for Android (Blogger)
It’s a simple blogging client for your Android devices that allows you to post without having to sit in front of a desktop. It keeps you connected to your blog wherever you are. Currently the app only works with blogger.com but more support is on the way. With Blogaway on your side, you’ll be able to post and publish your blog in seconds, tap in a few words, and attach photos and videos directly from your phone. One of the best things about Blogaway is that it handles multiple accounts and blogs with ease and allows you to read your existing posts without any hindrance. Adding multiple photos and videos is quite easy with Blogaway. Upload speed is also adequate; a lot of other apps struggle while uploading bulk photos to a single blog post, but Blogaway won’t stutter. Free Version
5. YourQuote — Best Writing App
One of YourQuote’s best features is the wide variety of fonts available for you to use. Another advantage is that your quotes will become Google searchable, especially after you’ve posted 20+ quotes. Finally, the platform recognizes you as the creator of the images and text, so you’ll get full credit for it. Free Version What do you think about these apps? Any favorites that we missed?
