The Best Phone Apps For Blogging
1: The IFTTT app
The IFTTT app (If This Then That) is an app that allows your apps — such as Instagram and GMail — to talk to one other. This process of talking too each other is called creating a RECIPE.
As good example of a recipe is when you can set it up so that all Instagram images are saved to DROPBOX. This is just one of many ‘recipes’ available. The IFTTT App is one of the most useful any blogger can own. For a more detailed look at IFTTT – check out: 20 ways the IFTTT app can streamline your life.

Formally called Sidekick and also called Sales for HubSpot (download for iOS or android)
This App allows you to build a library of personalized email templates & sales content that you can access right from your inbox. With the metrics the App provides you can see which email templates get the most opens and clicked. This allows you to share the best approaches across your team.
It also offers great Social Media Integration. There is a Free Version and a CRM version.

9) Buffer app
Buffer makes it super convenient to schedule (or reschedule) your social posts on the go. Great for Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest. I particularly like that you can add images directly from the URL. This saves you time because as an example you don’t have to save an image to your phone and manually add it to each Tweet.

Choose Your Apps For Blogging Wisely
I could go on and on about how you can use different apps on your phone for blogging or business, but I think you can see that you have many apps to choose from! Your use of apps on your phone will be different than those listed here, and it will take some experimenting before you learn which apps you are comfortable using.
Some apps will make your phone an invaluable tool for blogging or business, and some won’t. It’s up to you to test out each app for yourself, decide if you like it, determine if you actually find it useful, or simply uninstall it from your phone.
Regardless of which apps you decide to use (or not use), your mind has at least been opened to some new ideas today!
