It could support more social networks. Also Google+ functionality only allows you to post to a page rather than your profile.

It's been very easy to figure out. This is going to save me a lot of time and a lot of money because I won't have to hire someone to post for me now.

The learning curve is a bit high. It's not the most intuitive platform, and I think there are still features that I'm not using because I either don't understand them or don't have the patience to figure them out.
