What do you like best about Buffer?

I can start a web based life post from the page of the substance I'm as of now perusing. This recognizes Buffer from different stages like Hootsuite. My second most loved thing is the capacity to plan web based life postings crosswise over stages. Also, since I deal with different records, I like the simplicity of booking everything from one dashboard. Capacity to make substance and post to numerous web based life stages in the meantime. Rearranges sharing of updates and downloads for our group productively. You can tweak messages for every online life account, so you won't be constrained for that twitter's breaking point of characters on Facebook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Buffer?

I like everything the software offers. I have no issues with the way it works or what it does, I love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buffer?

Since I paid for my subscription, something happened to my account and I am unable to sign in. I do not receive the email password reset mail, and "NO IT'S NOT IN MY SPAM BOX FFS."

I tweeted them and they responded and then ghosted without an answer, then I receive a mail asking me the same questions, and then ghosting me without an answer. Today is day 7 I can not log into my account. I paid and I am locked out. So how would that make you feel? You pay for something, it breaks and then a day later it breaks and there is zero HELPFUL support.

I love buffer and what it does, it works great but Customer service SUCKS. and for that reason only I will find another service that offers the same. Also.. if customer support actually materializes, I will file for a refund.

No one can work like this, What do you expect when you pay for something and it breaks a day later?

What do you like best about Buffer?

Buffer was one of the main social schedulers that offered the majority of the stages we use. The fundamental obstacle with a large portion of the others was they did exclude Pinterest. I very much want to have everything in one spot! It's additionally extremely moderate for independent ventures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buffer?

I do wish they had an alternate organization for every stage, or possibly some of them. I wound up exchanging my Pinterest record to Tailwind, since it's MUCH simpler to utilize and has a way better interface for that. I've had a few issues with Buffer being moderate or glitchy of late, so that has been baffling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Buffer:

Incredible for keeping up different stages in a single spot, and simple to utilize and reasonable for private ventures. I may propose an alternate stage contingent upon what social records you use. I like that it's straightforward and uncomplicated, yet bigger organizations may need more highlights that what Buffer offers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am ready to get all my work for the week done on Monday morning and not need to stress over posting physically consistently.

Spares us time and exertion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
