Blogging Apps for Android Devices: Save Time Blogging

Avatar of Rajesh Namase Rajesh Namase
Last updated on: September 23, 2022

The following choice of blogging app for Android devices has been made to help serious and professional bloggers using the Android OS to save time blogging. There was a time when bloggers, including professional bloggers whose sole income came from their blogs, had to work from an IBM machine, a PC or an Apple Mac. These days are over. Now bloggers can use portable devices such as tablets and smartphones. Along with portable devices come apps that can be used by bloggers to enable them to manage their blogs from their smartphone or tablet and any other portable device using the Android operating system.

Bloggers, whether amateur or professional bloggers, have had their blogging activities made much easier with the development of mobile blogging apps. They can blog from anywhere they can get a signal. Some apps were originally developed for the iOS used in Apple’s iPhone. However, with the surge in Android devices, particularly the Samsung Galaxy and the Google Pixel phones, most have been adapted to be suitable for both iOS and Android.

What is the Android OS?

Android was developed by Google and is a Linux-based OS designed specifically for mobile touchscreen devices. Android devices use swiping, tapping and other on-screen manipulations. It is the OS used by Samsung, Apple’s major competitor in the field of mobile devices and smartphones. It is also used in Google’s Pixel mobile devices.

Here are our top blogging apps for Android devices. Many of them also offer iOS versions that are suitable for use with the iPhone. There is a large number of such Android blogging apps available today, and most also have versions suitable for iPhones and IPads.  This is our choice:

Blog Apps for Android Devices

1. Blogger

The Blogger app was created by Google which owns the Blogger blogging application. Being a Google app, it is an ideal blogging app for Android devices. It enables you to publish news posts from Google News as soon as they come in, and even enables you to add the location of each post.

3. WordPress

WordPress is believed by many to be the perfect blogging platform. It is ideal for longer posts, particularly if you prefer to write text blogs than use videos. You can also use WordPress to create your own free website with a blog attached. WordPress can be used with iOS and Android but is best with tablets. The smartphone display may be small, although there are responsive WordPress themes available that can provide blog text that is readable on even the smallest screens.

It’s not easy to write blogs using the default Android typing system. Swiftkey is a keyboard app that enables you to write using an online keyboard – but not just any old online keyboard. With Swiftkey, you can change the keyboard appearance using several options available. You can write easy and fast with correction of your errors – as is fairly common these days.

Swift Key

You can also add sounds to the keys if you wish. Some people like to hear traditional typewriter clicks when they type.

You can install SwiftKey on any Android device: smartphone, tablet or laptop.
