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!!

Face ID 기능 삭제 후 앱 내 언어가 중국어로 바뀜

Face ID 기능 삭제 후 어플 내 모든 UI가 한국어에서 중국어로 바뀌었고, 업데이트나 삭제 후 재설치를 해도 똑같습니다. 핸드폰 언어는 쭉 한국어로 되어있었고 따로 설정을 바꾼 적도 없는데 중국어는 대체 어디에서 나온건가요?! 일일히 캡처해서 화면번역으로 언어설정 기능을 찾아봐도 찾을 수가 없고 Q&A 탭에 들어가봐도 브라우저 번역 기능을 사용하라는 식으로 나와 있습니다. 원래대로 못 돌리나요?

LOVE

I love buffer, it’s so useful and I don’t have to worry about posting everyday. I could just schedule posts and not worry about anything 😁

Good

Good 🤌

HORRIBLE

This app is horrible. I could not even upload ONE post. It would not upload any audio- my own interview recording so not copywriter music- and it’s clunky and honestly a complete waste of time. Even with no audio it wouldn’t let me upload and gave no messages as to why it was blocking my posts. These other reviews must be bots. Three hours I can never get back 😩

Indispensable

Buffer has been my indispensable tool across multiple social media accounts for a few years now. I’ve tried many, Buffer is the best by far.

Smooth experience

Use this for scheduling LinkedIn and Instagram and TikTok. It’s been very smooth for a couple months.

Has some bugs

Doesn’t let me post when I choose custom per channel.

Updates will knock your pants off.

As a longtime user, Buffer has continued to knock my pants off repeatedly with their ability to execute even the smallest of things as this app continues to evolve. 50 gold stars! ✨

Bluesky changed after update

It won’t allow you to include images and link in same post like before.

Broken update

The latest version of the app no longer works with X

Love the multiple content feature

I love using this app, knowing that I’m putting multiple content out there at one time.

Update sucks

This new update isn’t good. I’ve never left a bad review for Buffer. EVER. But this is horrible.

Dommage

Une application qui fonctionnait très bien depuis longtemps mais depuis quelques semaines et l’ajout de nouvelles fonctionnalités, les titres des posts ne restent pas et le raccourcisseur d’URL ne fonctionne plus (pourtant cela fonctionne sur la version desktop). En vrai habituellement c’est une application 4-5 étoiles, mais là ce n’est pas possible

Response from developer

Sorry for the issues. We're working on a backend fix for the link shortening issue. I'm curious about the Post Title issue, I've not been able to replicate this but would love to hear more if you'd be up for dropping me an email to andy@buffer.com and I can take a look. Thanks

New Update

New update has made the app unusable. The channels are no longer easily accessible.

New update sucks

Why is the new update so much more difficult to use??? It's so cluncky and you have to tap around like 8x more to do the same task. I'm literally going to switch platforms if it's going to take this long to schedule every time now.

Podcast Usage

Amazing for scheduling content and so easy to use!
