What do you like best about Buffer?

I like that I'm able to post most of my social media materials on one website and have them go into each account and post them at my own specified time. It makes me job much easier, then going into each account and making posts. It also allows you to edit already scheduled posts so that you can add them to other accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like how at first i Was not able to add my Instagram account. Though now that I'm able I am not able to post from buffer as easily as I can with the other social media accounts that I have like twitter and face book. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buffer?

Unfortunately, I've had much trouble in the past with Buffer scheduling - it fails often to post photos that I schedule, which is extremely disappointing in times of busy-ness when posts need to go up regardless of my availability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Buffer:

Make sure that your photos uploaded for posts scheduled are either 4x5 or square for Instagram, posts will not automatically publish if this is not correct. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
