People frequently observe significant differences between products from Apple / Google / Microsoft.
Since all three corporations are separate (and highly competitive), they have their own corporate philosophies and development timelines. Despite all of that, Blogger tries to make their product supportable, across all corporate lines.
Unfortunately, the Blogger service is not always consistently usable, with all browsers - or mobile computer / smart phone apps.
One problem, that not all Blogger blog owners may realise, is that Apple does not submit their product changes to Google, for testing.
With a lack of advance testing, Blogger Engineering cannot react fast enough, to changes in iOS. The Blogger iOS app has long been a source of complaints, in Blogger Help Forum: Get Help with an Issue.
Blogger is rolling out SSL - and this delays other needed changes.
Right now, Blogger is making a major overhaul to their infrastructure, to support the SSL rollout. Simultaneously updating the Blogger app, to support iOS, would not likely be a productive activity.
With the SSL Rollout in process, Blogger suspended iOS app support some time ago. The Blogger app was removed from the Apple Store, several months ago - and this has been a source of various complaints, since.
Owners of iOS based computers need patience.
Apple Phone owners may need to be patient. Blogger Engineering may have to finish the SSL Rollout - hopefully, with support for custom domain publishing - and then rewrite the Blogger app for iOS.
In the mean time, iOS computer owners are suggested to use the Blogger dashboard, in a desktop browser, for maintaining and publishing their blogs. In order of recommendation - they should use Chrome, Firefox, or Safari.
The #Blogger smart phone app for iOS was removed from the Apple Store, some months ago. This was not a popular change - but it was a responsible business decision.

Occasionally, we see the query in Blogger Help Forum: How Do I?How do I view my blog, in the mobile template format, using my desktop computer?
This is an astonishingly easy task to accomplish. Just add the mobile template redirect suffix?m=1
to the URL being viewed.
The URL of this post is
http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2014/08/blogger-magic-mobile-template-redirect.html
If I want to view this post, using the mobile template, I can use
http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2014/08/blogger-magic-mobile-template-redirect.html?m=1
The mobile redirect is applied dynamically, in real life, on a link by link basis - when your reader is using a "mobile" computer.
The redirect is not added to each blog link, by the template. If you click on a link in this post - either in the content, as in the paragraph above - or in a label link or other cross link provided by Blogger - you will be returned to a post displayed using the desktop template, when you are using a desktop computer.
Only a "mobile" computer will show you, persistently, all mobile template formatted content. To view mobile template pages, as you surf the blog, using a "desktop" computer, you will have to repeatedly add the suffix.
Magic only goes so far - sorry.
You can also click on "View web version", below the "Home" link, to return to the "desktop" template, and the post being viewed.

Mobile blogging is becoming more and more popular - and it's creating an interesting challenge. Many blog owners, freed from the daily use of the home computer, are publishing multiple smaller posts, throughout the day - instead of a few larger posts, at the end of the day. Also, they are using mobile computers, and emailing or messaging the posts using Mail-To-Blogger, rather than composing the posts using the GUI Post Editor.
Lately, we're seeing more and more problem reports,in Blogger Help Forum: Something Is Broken.Why are my posts not publishing?
Many of the people reporting problems are mobile bloggers, not understanding about the unavoidable limitations.
Mobile blogging, when used this way, presents two challenges.- The daily posting volume frequently exceeds anti-spam detection limits.
- Use of a mobile computer, without the Blogger GUI Post Editor, prevents use of the anti-spam CAPTCHA, when necessitated by the posting volume.
The convenience of the mobile computer / smartphone motivates many blog owners to publish multiple small posts, throughout the day. The posting volume frequently makes a mobile blog owner look like a spammer, and the Blogger anti-spam mitigation becomes involved.
When exceeding daily post limits, and using Post Editor, the Blogger anti-spam mitigation will simply require solving of a CAPTCHA. This prevents spammers from flooding their blogs with multiple, spammy posts, by requiring all posts exceeding the daily limit to be published only after the CAPTCHA is solved. When the posts are submitted using Mail-To-Blogger, there is no opportunity to solve a CAPTCHA - and Mail-To-Blogger either saves those posts as Drafts, or simply drops them.
Generally, the missing posts can be found in the "Edit Posts" list (Classic Blogger GUI) or the "Posts" list (New Blogger GUI), in Draft status. The blog owner, at end of the day, simply must use a full featured computer, access the GUI wizard, and Publish all Draft posts.
If you are seeing this problem with your blog, do not consider the number "50", and the time span "24 hours", to be absolute standards. Depending upon where in the world you are located, the "24 hour" period may reset at some time which is not consistent with your personal 24 hour schedule. In some cases, 2 consecutive days, with less than 50 posts each day, may look like 1 day, to the anti-spam mitigation process.
