I don’t like how sometimes it is hard to control the way things appear across multiple social media platforms, notably posts with links.

Postcron is very easy to use. You can make changes very easily, you can duplicate posts quickly and I like that Postcron shortens the urls automatically and pulls the picture through from the article.

Though the tool is great to use... But if in case you get stuck somewhere! There is absolutely no one to hear your queries. I tried getting to the team via forms, emails, social profiles. But no one cares! Which ultimately made me switch to other alternatives.
