Not a review per se, but I have attempted to work with these two apps when I initially started blogging. My first 2 posts here were done remotely, and I certainly like the idea of blogging when I am not at a computer. Interestingly enough, THIS post was done on a desktop.
iBlogger appeared promising when I did an app search on the iPhone. It seemed promising enough, plus it was $.99 at the time I bought it. My first post was done using this application and it handled OK even for a newbie. However, the main problems with it became apparent quickly.
For some reason, iBlogger is unable to post images to blogger.com. Searches to support pages indicate that, while this is not supported, it will be at a later release. That was support for version 1.5. I have version 1.7 and it has yet to be added.
The workaround seems to be to use a supported site to blog. However, most of them have a monthly cost which, as a person trying out blogging, I'm just not willing to pay.
After a bit more of searching, I did find BlogPress. It cost $2.99US but worked just as I wanted. The second post on this blog was made with that app. I still have to find out if there are more annoying kinks to it, but I am liking it so far. For the minimal investment, I have quite a bit of freedom from my desktop computer....for blogging anyway.
