An Adventurous Review of Blogger for Android

I can't help it. I love Android. No, I'm beyond in love with Android. It is the best mobile operating system ever, no matter what those Apple fan boys in the back of the Starbucks would have you believe. I'm still on my very first smart phone -- a MyTouch 3G Slide from T-Mobile. It does everything I need it to do and then some. 

I decided to revamp my blog in June. The summer allowed me the opportunity I needed to take a break from school and work on my own creative projects. I am very pleased with how far my blogs have come. However, as any creative writer can tell you; it's impossible to force creativity. 

Sometimes, you're out at the bar with your roommate's friends and a spark of inspiration hits you as a glittery bartender slams a foamy Newcastle down on the bar in front of you and asks for $5.50. She's tall, brunette, and has a down-to-earth quality that's evident in the way she looks at you with her grass green eyes and her loosely tied back hair. She's stunning, you're feeling creatively buzzed and you just have to blog about this fabulous little bar! But --

Uh oh. Your laptop is locked away in your ghostly, quiet apartment somewhere across town. You either have to write it down on a napkin with a blotchy pen borrowed from the greasy fat guy next to you eating mediocre chicken wings or...

Blogger for Android gets a 4 out of 5.

You could simply download Blogger for Android. It's incredibly fast, simple to use, and free. It doesn't look like much on first launch but the sleek simplicity of the design makes it perfect for those who are constantly mobile. You can manage multiple blogger blogs from your Android device with just a few taps. Additionally, the app's style options give you the ability to bold, italicize, and link to make your posts look professional and flawless even if your surroundings aren't. Ready for your photo op?  Post pics from your gallery or a pic you just took of your drunken roommate falling off the bar stool for the 5th time that night. It even includes a labels feature so that your post can still get noticed long after sexy bartender girl has forgotten all about that embarrassingly raucous evening.

As wonderful as this app is, there are still some minor caveats. You can't edit your blog's settings from the Blogger for Android app. Viewing your blog statistics like page views, ad revenue, and where in the world the traffic to your blog comes from is also not an option. If you want to see new posts from the blogs your follow on your dashboard, you're also out of luck.  

Blogger for Android receives a 4 out of 5 stars for it's simplicity and user-friendliness but loses one star for it's lack of features. I'd definitely recommend it for any bloggers who find themselves constantly on the go.
