A little bit buggy.

Just started using the app. Happy with the limit and handy for starting out. I’ve noticed it’s buggy.

When I’m scheduling for YouTube, when I select notify, it wants me to add a title or I can’t move on. So, I have to add a title and then change it back to notify and when it’s set it goes back to automatic so I have to use the web to adjust it all over again as on the app it’s stuck on automatic for me. When I do get notification that it’s time to post, none of it opens over on YouTube so I have to add the video all over again.

It works fine for Instagram and yet to experience TikTok. Buffer to youtube has been my only issue.

Forces you to enable notifications to use the app

Bad.

half the time uploads fail

also please quit asking people to rate your app

Frustrating

Continually loses connection and won’t allow you to reconnect to your socials, no matter how many times you try. A full 6 weeks of socials not posted. Really irritating.

Too many bugs

Crashes ALOT. Some things don’t even work. FIX YOUR APP!!
