BlogTouch for Blogger

Photos will seem to work, but eventually fail will a 403 Forbidden error. Just search for “BlogTouch 403” to see posts about it at the Google forums. In a reply by the developer, he puts the blame on Google Drive, but there’s no alternative in the app for photo storage. So the app is a ticking time bomb. I now have to edit dozens of posts to reinsert the images. Don’t make the same mistake I did!

Has a bug that loses your photos because of a lazy hack that stores them in a temporary file, apparently. Google won’t fix, developer refuses to acknowledge or fix, and you are stuck. I painstakingly restored all of my photos that the app had lost, only to find them gone AGAIN after a couple of months. Totally devastating. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

I’ve used the app for a few years and have been happy with it until this year. For the second time, several weeks of photos on post have disappeared and cannot be recovered. I will no longer use the app and recommended against anyone using it if you care about the photos. Update 11/30/2023 I located my pictures. I posted to the blog several times a month and so far have a year’s worth of pictures that need to be uploaded. I’m very concerned that more pictures will continue to disappear from my postings, going back three more years.

I had this app for years and it worked great up until recently. I started having pictures disappear from my blog after making a post. I kept having to reload the pics. Google blamed this app and when I contacted the app contact they blamed google. So I had to make a decision hoping it was the right one. I deleted the app and the problem I was having stopped occurring. Sad part is that I’m back to doing my posts from my computer now. I really did like the convenience of this app but the hassle of photos deleting all the time just wasn’t worth it in the end for me😞.

This app has worked for years. Now when I make a new post, the pictures show up for a little while and then disappear. My pictures have disappeared for my past 20 posts!!

I’ve used this app for a couple years and loved how it worked, but now when I edit my blogs and add pictures, they eventually stop showing up. That bug really needs fixed

Same issue as others. Pictures break after a few weeks. App hasn’t been updated in three years. Save your money.

(Edited for 2023). Perhaps this is because the author hasn’t updated the app in three years, but images posted through the app have been breaking, a few at a time. Discussions on the Blogger Help forums reveal that this app stores images to a temporary file. When the time limit expires, so do the images. It’s a good thing that I never discarded the original images. I’m having to go back and repost the images on the Blogger site itself.

I keep expecting this incredibly useful app to vanish as youngsters flood the web with videos but so far it keeps posting. For a man in a van who posts modus days with lots of photos this app is brilliant. It formats my script and I can insert photos, dozens of them, or write script between photos after uploading them. Makes Blogger, which I’ve been on since 2007 with some 6,000 posts all with photos, truly portable. Even traveling last winter through Mexico for six months. Simply brilliant.
