Zapd iPhone App review

An iPhone app that is not alot of people know about, is called Zapd. Zapd lets you make a blog straight from your iPhone or iPod touch. Before I even go over it, here is an example Zapd blog that I made: Click!

Zapd lets you share some of your favorite pictures and thoughts straight from your mobile device. Yes, it is free. It also features many different themes and options for your blog. It is made to be viewed on a mobile device, but there is also a desktop version that doesn't look to eye catching, but that's okay. Also, there are different options to share it on Facebook, Twitter, and Email, so you could show your family and friends what you have been up to. Another great thing about this app, is that you could make a many "Zaps" as you want to, so you could have one for your 2011 Vacation, Pets, and just total screwing around. This app does crash on occasion, but not very often. Then again, most apps crash on occasion. So you shouldn't be too worried about that. But, with all of the Pros in this app, there are the Cons. For one there is no organization, or "grouping" feature. So if you are like me, and only want to have one Zapd Blog, you can't make groups of pictures or blog posts. So it is all somewhat cluttered. There is also no iPad app, which is surprising because blogging on your iPad would be much more fun than on a tiny iPhone, or iPod Touch. Another huge downside, is that there are no RSS feeds integrated with this app. I was trying to add my Zap to my Google Reader, and after not finding it and doing some research, there is no RSS readers. So, I couldn't put it on my Pulse, or Flipboard app, which was a little aggravating. But, in the end, it is a free, small little app that lets you blog on the go, so you really can't expect much out of it. I say that in the end it is a 5 out of 5 stars. Definitely download this app, and if you don't like it in the end, just delete it! Thanks for reading, and more posts are coming soon.
