If you have an iPad, then you might already be using it to blog with applications such as the WordPress mobile app. However, there are many iPad apps that can make blogging easier, faster, and better.

Some of these apps are free, some offer free and paid versions (with additional features), and some come with a price tag. All of the iPad apps listed below are very popular, but it's up to you to review their features and choose the ones that will best meet your needs.

1Password for iPad

What We Like

  • Available on Mac, iOS, Windows, Linux, and Chrome OS.

  • Track unlimited passwords.

  • 1 to 5 GB storage; depends on account type.

  • Uses AES 256-bit encryption.

What We Don't Like

  • Minimum cost is $3.99 per month.

  • May confuse accounts when pasting a password.

  • Face ID is flaky.

There are many password management tools, but 1Password for iPad is one of the best. Instead of trying to remember all of your passwords while blogging on the go, you can log in with a single password and access all of your saved websites using 1Password. It's a time saver and a stress reducer!

  • Free to use.

What We Don't Like

  • Only manages other RSS feeder accounts.

  • Constantly logs out.

If you subscribe to RSS feeds to keep up with news and commentaries related to your blog topic, then Feedler is one of the best iPad apps for managing and viewing content from your feed subscriptions. You can get ideas for blog posts, find content of interest to you, and more. This iPad app is free, so it's worth trying!
