Image by kuribo via FlickrThis morning, I was looking at the apps that I have on my Android phone and noticed that I had several apps that had updates available. One of the ones that needed to be updated was my Blogger app for Android. I had not used the Blogger app for a few weeks, but I went ahead and updated the app.
One of the reasons that I had not used the app for so long was because of my first experience using it. I had started writing a blog post using the app, saved it as a draft, then finished it on my laptop when I got home from work. I then published it from my laptop.
Unfortunately, the next day when I opened up the Blogger app on my phone, the post reverted to my saved draft and I lost the finished post. I wrote about that incident on this post that I wrote completely on the app. Since then, I have used Google Docs whenever I have wanted to start a post on my phone and finish it on my computer later.
After I downloaded the update, I checked to see what included in the update. One of the features that it the update contained was that it contained a full sync feature. I think that this will fix the issue that I had with the post reverting back to the version that was saved as a draft on my mobile app.
The first time I used the Blogger app, it only showed blog posts that I had started or published from the mobile app. It did not include any previous posts. Now, since the update, the mobile app shows all of my previous posts. I am looking forward to seeing whether or not this new feature will allow me to start a post on my mobile device and finish it on the computer later.
Dickster- I have been reading with interest your phone stories. I was really poo-pooing the whole app thing, but now I really want one. I think I will upgrade with sprint, next month! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI will always do the majority of my blogging from the home computer, but there are times it is nice to have the mobile option like when traveling or if I get an idea in the office and want to start a post. I also sometimes visit other blogs between innings at baseball games.
