My Favorite iPad Apps for Blogging & Beyond

It is no secret that I am addicted to my iPad. I can't help it, it is freaking awesome. I am surprised at how much I love it, I am not a techno-gadget-seeking person. Marc on the other hand wants every new fangdangled thing on the market. I actually bargained with him back in 2009, I went to Disney with a friend and he bought a flat screen TV.


Anyways, my iPad was my 30th birthday present. Marc wanted a party for his 30th and I wanted an iPad. Again fair trade. I threw him an awesome 30th party if I do say so myself.

Our home computer crashed so my iPad is where I do all my blogging from and any computer business. Sometime it is limiting but for the most part I get done what I need too with the help of some apps.

My top blogging app for sure is Blogsy. On my iPad I can't upload photos directly to blogger, so I use Blogsy to compose my posts, add pictures and then it uploads to blogger. I can schedule posts, add HTML and everything. I would be lost without Blogsy. Below is a screen shot, you can connect your Facebook and instagram to use those pictures as well.

The remaining apps are in no particular order but all they all serve a purpose.

Photo365 is a newer app to me but I already love it. It is a photo a day app where you upload a photo and you can add a caption. I love it and think it help me while I try to complete Project Life this year.

Pinterest, do I really need to say anything? The app makes it so much easier to navigate. They have also done a lot of upgrades and each time it gets better.

I never thought I would be downloading apps for Violet already...but I am. She loves my iPad, especially when we FaceTime with her Nana and Grandpa. So I combined her love of FaceTime with her love of Elmo and voila Elmo Calls. The app comes with a few sets of free calls and then there is a whole boatload you can buy for .99 cents. So far we are happy with the ones that came with it,

Next up is Similiac Strong Moms app. I just downloaded this app this week to help me track Violet's sleeping patterns especially her naps. I think she is starting to transition to one naps so she is kinda all over the place. Plus I think if I know her schedule then it will be a bit easier in Disney. You can track feelings, sleep, diapers, and weight, it is a neat app.

PicFrame is one of my very favorites, it was the first app I used to edit my pictures for blogging. It is so much fun to play around with and it is how I print out my instagram prints.

Oh how I love Instagram! At first I didn't get the Instagram hype but now I am all about it. I love seeing pics from my fellow bloggers, friends and I have found blogs to read that I may not have found before.

One if the super big reasons I wanted an iPad was to use the mobile version of Myfitnesspal. I love that I scan barcodes and it pulls up the calories for me. So awesome!

And last but not least is the bitly app. I love being able to shorten my links for tweeting and Facebook! You can also track how many clicks a link has had.

I hope you have enjoyed a look at my favorite iPad apps. Do you use any of these apps or have a must try app for me? I would love to hear your suggestions!
