Edited: Can’t set Instagram post locations for a week now!

Buffer finally corrected the issues below people were having with adding locations to Instagram scheduled posts. Now all is back to working perfectly and with ease. Thank you for finally solving that issue, Buffer! You are by far my favorite post scheduler and I was struggling without being able to use you. So happy to be back using Buffer!I’ve been using this app with my Instagram business account to schedule and automatically post on the date and at the precise time without any issues until a week ago when I was setting up a post and I went to type in my location (it’s an app search feature) and the app said it couldn’t find my location (I tested multiple locations, nothing came up) and so I hit cancel on that location screen and then the entire app freezes and I can’t do anything else with the app until I restart my iPhone. I’ve contacted Buffer who says they are working on the issue, but it’s been going on for over a week. Sadly, it’s time to find another Instagram scheduling/auto post app. Buffer customer service is not helpful whatsoever!!!

Sorry for the issues here! We've resolved the issues with location tagging, we had to work with Facebook to get this resolved which took a little longer than we hoped. https://status.buffer.com/incidents/wlwrzxn8fk23

BUFFER IS THE BEST

I've been on a quest for the perfect social media management tool for years. I've tried them all. Hootsuite, Sprout Social, Later, you name it, I've probably given it a go. I'd bounce between them, always finding something I liked in one but missing in another. One had great analytics, but clunky scheduling. Another had a beautiful interface but lacked the content curation features I needed. It was a never-ending cycle of frustration. I was starting to think the perfect tool just didn't exist.Then I rediscovered Buffer. I'd tried it before, but for some reason, it hadn't clicked. This time, though? Game. Changer.Honestly, I'm done searching. I've found my social media soulmate. Buffer isn't just a scheduling tool; it's one of the best social media management platforms for my budget, which isn’t a large number by any means. I like that it’s affordable, and I love that I can connect to most of my fav social media platforms (they are working on more, tumblr and facebook personal account would be incredible). All in all if you’re looking for the answer to a seemingly never-ending feeling of buyers remorse (or subscribers, in this case) due to not being wholly satisfied with your current SMM tool, give Buffer a chance. Even if you already have, really take an hour or so to configure it and explore what you can do, how easily you can do it, and how mentally organized it makes you feel. Love you, Buffer!

an absolute headache

I’ve never once left a review on any application ever and it’s sad I have to do so here. I have to warn creators who want to actually save time on their content business and caution the headache this app has caused. I’ve spent more time going back and forth with the support team than actually creating and posting the content. Nearly every day, I’d have posts fail and not go live. Captions would be messed up. Posts that were uploaded in vertical video would end up being stretched out or condensed into a square upload. And FORGET trying to save time by uploading multiple posts at once. There’s really no other way to describe the issues I experienced with this app other than it’s ‘janky’ and not reliable. My email is filled with support tickets with these guys, and I will say they were always nice and apologetic but after experiencing problem after problem day after day, it just got frustrating. You’d be better off and save more time by literally posting each piece of content individually to each platform than dealing with the problems this app causes. I’ve experienced it first hand. I will say though, posting tweets that were text never gave me an issue. Scheduling tweets will work fine if that’s all you want to do, but if you’re in video, forget it and find another service.

Integration with Slack and Discord

Feedback: I've been greatly enjoying the simplicity and user-friendly interface of your app. It's evident that a lot of thought and effort has been poured into its development. However, I couldn’t help but notice the absence of integration with Slack and Discord which are prominent platforms in the current social digital era. Their integration could significantly enhance the collaborative and social interaction capabilities of your app, aligning it with the communication tools many have become accustomed to. Suggestion: Considering the widespread use and popularity of Slack and Discord, integrating them into your app could provide a more seamless and enriched user experience. This integration could facilitate real-time conversations, file sharing, and overall better coordination among users. Moreover, it could potentially broaden the user base by attracting communities already established on these platforms. Question: Is there any plan in the near future to incorporate Slack and Discord integrations into your app? This feature could be a game changer in promoting a collaborative environment and ensuring the app stays relevant and competitive in the market.
