Blogger App Review

Blogger
Rating- 4/5

The Blogger app is a handy way to keep your blogger.com blog updated on the go.
You can view your different blogs (if you have more than one), view and edit your blog posts, and create new blog posts.
One thing that I have found to be a problem is adding pictures to posts- there doesn't seem to be a way to choose where the picture will actually appear on the post when it's published, so I generally just type out a rough draft on the app and save it then wait until I'm on my laptop to add pictures and finish everything off. Also, the text editing is very basic on the app.

For that reason, I personally prefer to stick with the Blogger website as much as possible, but I still think this is a useful app for when I can't get on my laptop to update my blog. If you have a blog on blogger.com then it's probably worth downloading the blogger app so it's always possible to work on your blog no matter where you are, but I'd recommend just saving posts created on the app as drafts and publish them later from the web version for the best results.

Dictionary.com App Review

Dictionary.com App Review 

Rating- 5/5

I've recently decided I love the Dictionary app and I don't really care if that makes me a geek :p  I have only used i to look up words a couple of times so far but what I really like about it is the blog and especially the Word Of The Day posts.
I've learned a few interesting words from it that I would never have come across otherwise, and I don't need to actually open the Dictionary app each day to view the latest Word Of The Day, as it shows up in my notifications.
Probably not an app for everyone, but if you're interested in learning new words or simply want to be able to check the definition of words quickly and easily, or use the thesaurus which is also included, then I'd definitely recommend this app.  
The only issue I've found so far is not being able to move the app to SD card to avoid wasting storage space on phone, which considering some phones have almost non existent storage and rely on the use of an SD card, could mean this app isn't an option for some people if they're unfortunate enough to have the kind of phone that relies on an SD card to be able to store anything.
