5 Apps I Find Useful As A Blogger

We’re in March already, how did that happen?! Where is the time going? Anyway, I love my iPhone and use it every single day. As a blogger I have come across many applications to use to help my blog grow. Being a newbie to blogging I thought I’d share with you some apps that I like to use:

Blogger

This is an app that many personal bloggers use. If you have a blog on Blogger, I would definitely recommend getting this app. However, the functionality of this app isn’t brilliant but you can still write blog posts on the go and reply to comments!

Instagram

I have been on Instagram for a while now and I love it. It’s a social network site and I feel like I have learnt a lot in terms of how to get noticed. I find having bright, clear pictures are the best and I like to use relevant hash tags for the people who are interested in what I am sharing. Instagram is where I have the most followers at the moment, you can follow me here if you’re interested in seeing more!

Twitter

Twitter is another fast growing social networking site. I have only have Twitter a few weeks but I have found it has increased my blog traffic and I seem to have connected to other bloggers. I find that once you get people to retweet your tweets you get more followers which means more people potentially looking at your blog. You can follow me here.
Bloglovin’

Bloglovin’ has got to be one of my favourite apps of all time. You follow the blogs you love reading and its so easy to comment and have a connection with the blogger, other people see you comment and click on your profile! You can also save the post so if you don’t have time to read it you can at a later time or date. You can follow my profile here.
Afterlight
A photo editing app. This is what I use to edit all of my photo’s on Instagram. I find it has a lot more choice of filters than Instagram. I also feel it has a lot more editing features, such a colour, exposure, contrast and temperature. I can upload it straight to Instagram afterwards or just save it to my camera roll!
What’s the apps that you like to use?

    Great post I've heard a lot about Afterlight, but never actually tried it out so definitely need to invest in it for myself x

    oooh, I've not heard of Afterlight- definitely getting that! I personally don't like the Blogger app and think they need to improve it! xx

      Let me know what you think of Afterlight! I agree, I think it needs an update soon! Xx

    Love Afterlight! I think the Blogger app needs more features for it to be good! Rebecca | http://www.rebeccamariee.blogspot.com xx

    I really find the Blogger app to be totally disappointing! You can't look at stats or anything!

    Todoist is such a lifesaver of an app. It's basically what it sounds like, you make to do lists, you can set the date it needs to be done by. It's really motivational! Definitely one I'd recommend.

    I love Afterlight too, it has the prettiest filters. For editing I usually use PS Express and I love Dropbox for transferring photos from my computer to my phone

    I am a big fan of all of these apps except for blogger (since I use self-hosted WordPress) and use them quite regularly!

    Great post! I have never used Afterlight, but I have had many recommendations to use it. For editing pictures, I use VSCOcam. it is brilliant to use.
