journal app with off-line feature and sharing via social media???

It's not specifically for journaling, but many do use it for that. Works on most platforms too. I'

Blogger. Easy use, and connection to other social media. And you can write offline on the app and upload at your leisure. The blogs in my profile were made on Blogger.

Thanks! Nancy, can you upload photos from your phone onto blogger???

Ruth,

What type of computer device are you going to be travelling with? The method I normally use is to journal using MS Word (offline) and then cut & paste that to a Blog and upload whenever I have access to the internet. That method has worked well so far.

For Blogs you might also have a look at TravelPod. I've found it very easy to use and you can upload photos or videos very easily (videos take a bit longer to upload, especially with a slow internet connection). I normally travel with a Netbook which has a built-in SD Card Reader, so transferring photos is a simple matter of taking the card out of the camera and inserting into the Netbook (that also serves to provide a backup storage location for the photos).

I won't have a computer -- just a I-pad or kindle. I was hoping to find app or combination of apps that would let me (1) journal off line while on the road w/o access to Wi-Fi; and (2) share journal entries and photos, downloaded from my phone, via some kind of easy to use blog (that also links to facebook) when I do have Wi-Fi access. I need something easy, because my technology know how is definitely limited!

Ruth,

I don't know what type of applications are available for Kindles, but I doubt that platform would provide the capabilities of an iPad. You should be able to use an iPad in the same manner as I described earlier. You could easily journal using the included Pages app, and then cut and paste to your Blog from that. You could buy the $35 SD Camera Adaptor to transfer photos to the iPad.

With an iPad or iPhone, you could easily add entries to TravelPod Blogs as there's an App for that. TravelPod also has a feature that allows signing-in via FaceBook. I don't "do" FaceBook so I'm not sure how that works.

Yes, Ruth, I did it all the time (uploading pictures through the phone app). My phone is an Android, and I could write and edit entries, even if I had already uploaded them to the internet, through the Blogger app.

Hope you've found some useful ideas. Happy travels!

Hey, I came across a new site the other day and its looks like it might be able to solve your problem.

Hi. Mobily Trip got some very good reviews in a recent search I did for journal apps for traveling. Works offline, records pictures, location, and comments. Can post to social media sites once you return to an Internet connection.

I just found Day One. It is a free journaling app that you can include pics. You can email your entries to people from your phone/tablet contact list or post to facebook, twitter, foursquare, and tumblr. Looks awesome! Plan to use it when we go to italy in september!!

Update: I ended up using Blogger, which is free, to set up a blog on my computer before I left for the trip. I purchased the app "blogsy" for my ipad. Blogsy works with blogger, wordpress, and a number of other blog platforms. It was an easy app to use, and it made writing while I was offline and adding photos, etc. really easy. I think the app cost less than $5, and for me it was definitely worth it. I also loaded blogger on my ipad, but I used it only to make edits after the fact. I absolutely loved blogging during the trip, and highly recommend it. For me, it was way easier than keeping a diary, because it's so easy to get so caught up in details in a diary that you fall behind and never catch up. Since I knew I was writing for an audience, it helped me keep my daily posts relatively short. I loved being able to add the photos to each post. I got a ton of great feedback from friends and family reading about our trip day by day....and now I have a great record of what we did.
