6 Must-Have Apps for Bloggers

Bloggers are the Internet's educators, storytellers, and communication facilitators. Without them, we wouldn't know which styles are in and which vacation spots we can't miss out on.

Despite all they provide us with, bloggers aren't superhuman. Sometimes, they struggle to come up with inspiring posts, or fall behind on their schedule.

Luckily, there are apps that can help bloggers through these issues! If you currently operate a blog or are thinking about starting one, you've landed in the right place. Here, we've provided you with 6 must-have smartphone apps for bloggers that will enhance productivity and inspire creativity.

1) WordPress

Though it's known as an intricate content management system for your desktop, WordPress is actually available through a smartphone app! You can get it on your iPhone or Android device. It's pretty easy to figure out, so people of all experience levels can confidently use this app. With it installed on your phone, you can track stats, review comments, and draft a new post on the go.

2) SnapSeed

SnapSeed is a professional photo editing app created by Google. If you regularly utilize pictures in your posts, this app is worth purchasing. It grants you access to advanced editing features like altering an image’s color, reviewing the editing history, and applying intricate filters.

As useful as this app is, your pictures are only as good as your camera equipment. Make the most out of SnapSeed by investing in coola prylar (cool stuff) from BazaarGadgets, like a detachable lens that you can use with your iPhone.

3) Slack

If you work with a team, Slack can help you stay in touch. Slack is especially useful to team members that operate in different cities, states, and countries. With this app, you can communicate important deadlines and information about assignments.

Slack lets you make communication "channels" with different groups of people, like editors and freelance workers, to help you stay organized and communicate effectively.

4) IFTTT (If This Then That)

IFTTT connects several apps and allows them to communicate with one another. Users create unique combinations, called "recipes," to determine how their apps will relate to each other. For example, you can program your Facebook account to post a related status every time you upload a new Instagram photo.

IFTTT saves you time and eliminates the need to log in to several apps at once. It's the best way to keep in touch with fans across multiple platforms.

5) Instapaper

With Instapaper, you can save all of the videos, articles, recipes, and song lyrics you come across to one space. The best part about this app is that you can read the content you save offline. Browse material and gather inspiration while you're on a road trip, in an airplane, or otherwise off-the-grid!

This app also lets you post to different online realms like Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr. You just have to link these accounts to Instapaper, and you're free to share what you've found to your fans!

6) Google Keep

Google Keep organizes all of your notes and photos with colorful labels. You can enable reminders on the notes to help you stay ahead of your schedule. It's also great for getting all your ideas stored if you don't want to type everything out, as it records and transcribes voice memos.

Let Mobile Apps Help You Out

As a blogger, you're likely self-driven and bursting with innovative ideas. Consider downloading these apps that make it easier for you to build your writing career.

Some of them are free to download with the option of premium features, while others cost money up-front. Be sure to take advantage of the free ones out there. Look over the ones that cost money and determine which ones you're willing to put a few dollars towards.
