Google has shut down a blog management tool application 'Blog Compass', just a year after its launch. Blog Compass is an app that essentially helped bloggers to manage their site and find topics to write about. The app could connect to sites running either WordPress or Blogger and provided the owner with insights into trending topics and a centralized dashboard for analytics or comments.

1. Blog Compass is still available to download from the Play Store, opening it now only displays a goodbye message, "After several months, we have decided to turn down the Blog Compass app,'' it says.

2. The shut down of the app is due to the user reviews, which showed that users were having issues with the app since October 2018.

3. Many users were unable to sign in with a Google account and the last report was as late as last month. While according to the Google Play Store, Blog Compass had around 10,000-50,000 installs. 

4 . The app for Google's own Blogger platform was not updated since way back in 2016 and seems as if Google had lost the interest in the blogging platform in early days.
