The Must Have iPhone And iPad Apps For The Mobile Blogger
1. Blogsy:Blogsy has to be the ultimate mobile blogging App, it's not free but is definitely well worth the investment, it's currently priced at $4.99 at the Apple App Store.
Blogsy supports all of the major blogging platforms including: Blogger, WordPress, TypePad, Drupal, Tumblr, Joomla, and much more!
Using Blogsy gives you the ability to fully write and publish your blog posts, and comes packed with more features then you will probably find on your actual blogging platform.
2. HootSuiteHootsuite is great! It allows you to manage all your Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Foursquare accounts in one App. The ability to engage with all of your social networks in one place makes this App a must have for any mobile blogger.
Hootsuite comes packed with features once you've used it you’ll be asking yourself how you ever lived without it. The good news? It's free, so you have no excuse not to try it.
3. EvernoteI previously wrote about Evernote in my blog post "Blogging Toolbox: Top 10 Blogging Tools I Can't Live Without". This is a great App for using on your home PC or as a mobile App when you are away from your desk.
The reason why this App is so great is when you are on the move it gives you the ability to take notes, voice recordings, and web clippings, so wherever you are you can be working on and researching your next blog post, oh I almost forgot it’s free!
4. JustCloudJustCloud is very much like Dropbox, you’ve all heard of Dropbox, right? Having used both programs I always seem to come back to JustCloud when I’m mobile.
Don’t get me wrong I still use Dropbox but for my mobile needs JustCloud is the winner for me and it's the best price... free.
JustCloud allows you to access and back up your files whilst on the move and they currently offer unlimited cloud storage.
5. Analytics ProHave you ever wanted to access your Google Analytics whilst on the move or away from your desk? (I know for me its an everyday routine) Now you can do just that.

- Multiple Graphs and data for all metrics
- Print Reports directly to a printer on a wireless network with AirPrint
- Multiple Accounts and Profiles.
- Export data to TXT or PDF
- Much, much more!
