Posting action is set by default to "next available" I always "post now". I wish there was a way to set the default to one's preference . The extra steps to change it each time is a real drag . ### 2/5 — Calendar disaster *2026-08-16, version 15.7.3* This used to be a great app but they removed the full calendar view on the app so you can’t see what days you have posts scheduled. The little strip calendar they show now doesn’t even have the month. Worthless. ### 4/5 — VoiceOver user of Buffer *2026-08-11, version 15.7.1* Normally, I would have given this a 5 star but as a voice over user, not all the buttons are described with labels.Also, wish you could change between the business/professional channels and the personal channels without having to upgrade and pay for this option.Maybe someday... Haha! Thanks for making this 95% accessible to the visually impaired, it's a great start! ### 4/5 — A very good accessible alternative to Facebook Business suite for Screen Reader users *2026-08-07, version 15.7* Not only is this a great app to help manage your socials, plan ideas and turn them into posts and increase engagement, it’s a very good accessible alternative to other apps which lack such ease of access. Please can we have the option to switch on or off the new focus screen though when composing? I get the significance for users, however it gets in my way and actually has led to content being updated for a time that I didn’t intend from a screen reader user perspective. Other than that keep up the great work. ### 2/5 — Hard *2026-07-26, version 15.6.1* Hard to use ### 3/5 — Works but lacks some features *2026-07-17* When checking my posts in the mobile app I could not add comments to them (a feature I use in the web app). This makes the mobile useless for me since I can not add thoughts on what I to fix on my posts / graphics when being back home. ### 4/5 — Good interface *2026-07-16, version 15.6.1* Using on my phone for the first time. ### 3/5 — Gut, aber kein Lifetime… *2026-07-12* An sich ist Buffer eine super App um Content zu managen und zu planen, allerdings gibt es auch viele coole und praktische Features, die man ohne Abo leider nicht nutzen kann. Ich hätte mir da eine Lifetime Version gewünscht. Da zahle ich vielleicht 50 Euro oder etwas mehr und habe keine nervigen Abokosten. ### 2/5 — Needs feature toggles *2026-07-11, version 15.6* I wish I could turn off certain features like AI and the comment score. I don't want all my data being fed to an AI, and I don't want to feel pressured to respond to people instantly when I have a whole business to run. ### 4/5 — Close! *2026-07-02, version 15.5* The Buffer app is useful and pretty good overall. But it’s too flaky when trying to post something. Too often when I’m quickly posting something, especially with an attachment, or swapping between different apps to draft, it will lose my content - or not successfully cross post everywhere. Not as bulletproof as it should be. ### 1/5 — This app gave me anger issues *2026-06-11, version 15.5* Completely worthless ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — New update sucks *2026-08-25, version 15.7.5* 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. ### 1/5 — Just a queue. Save yourself the money and use the in-app schedulers *2026-08-19, version 15.7.5* Very disappointed. Buffer is just a glorified queue. You can’t edit anything in the service, select music (I know this isn’t limited to buffer, it’s up to the social media platforms but I’m including it here for clarity), and when you schedule a reminder to post, the service doesn’t even upload your scheduled post to your phone’s camera roll, meaning you have to re-upload the post to each social media platform (meaning clogging up your photos until you manually post), and then re-enter any hashtags you entered in the description in Buffer. The only thing this app serves as is a queue that you can create, and a notification to post. Everything else you have to do manually. Save yourself the money and either enter a recurring reminder in your personal calendar or better yet just schedule posts right in TikTok and Instagram. ### 1/5 — Why ? *2026-08-15, version 15.7.3* I’ve been using Buffer for years each change has made it worse to use . It is quicker if I just type and schedule my own posts manually ### 1/5 — Just an extra app taking up space *2026-08-12, version 15.7.1* I was trying to use buffer for a social Media fast but still post content. Paid for the monthly subscription for 3 channels and as soon as I deleted the OG apps, I started having problems! I’m just one person with one phone posting to multiple apps, how is the teams feature? I know it has to be doo doo because I’m having issues with just me! I tried it and buyed it and now I NEVER want to hear about this app EVER AGAIN! ### 1/5 — Still need the original apps PLUS this. Was looking to stay active but stay away from the feeds. *2026-08-07, version 15.6.1* Was looking for a way to stay active on my socials while stepping away IRL wit my team, and we are having so many issues that it’s just easier and more efficient to just upload directly app to app! was pressured by ads and paid for a subscription and feel like we was robbed! Of my time and money! Plans failed. ### 1/5 — Allow larger image uploads *2026-08-02, version 15.6.1* Comonnnnn ### 1/5 — Crashing soon as calendar opens *2026-07-15, version 15.6* App is crashing soon as calendar opens - very annoying to constantly have to reinstall. This last update was no good. ### 1/5 — Genuinely *2026-07-09, version 15.6* The absolute worst app I have ever downloaded; I mean it from the bottom of my heart. Absolute POS ### 1/5 — 1 Star is being awfully generous *2026-06-30, version 15.5* Can’t login to InstGram and it’s been like that for a Year. Complete waste of time and an App ### 1/5 — Manual entry *2026-06-17, version 15.5* I’m just a one man show trying to make the world a better place. I thought I would give this a try. Music is a very important part of my videos and the use of contemporary music has played an important role in my video views I don’t need a calendar to prompt me if I can do that myself on a daily basis. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Podcast Usage *2026-08-20, version 15.7.5* Amazing for scheduling content and so easy to use! ### 5/5 — Love love love *2026-08-09, version 15.7.1* I absolutely love this app! Buffer has helped me maintain my social media page for my business! ### 5/5 — Excellent services *2026-07-26* I find Buffer as a very good platform in Free services providing three channel connect later on. I will update on paid plan and get full services offer. Thank you, Buffer. ### 5/5 — It’s a good app *2026-07-18, version 15.6.1* I like this app, I just used it to post. I wish there was automatic posting for personal accounts. All in all, it’s useful and I plan to use it in the future. ### 5/5 — Great overall but needs more apps *2026-07-09, version 15.6* I love how easy it is to set posts for multiple platforms! It has so many already but honestly it needs an option to add accounts for apps not listed and be able to schedule posts for them too. Especially places like Reddit! Now ofc I’m not sure if they have to talk to the apps developers to allow them to integrate it, but if not then it’s definitely time for more ### 5/5 — Easy to use and great mobile experience *2026-07-03, version 15.5* Really enjoying the app for managing my social posts. Comment management from the app is incredibly smooth ### 5/5 — Helpful *2026-06-30, version 15.5* Really simple to use allows me to post one video to all my socials I recommend but they should lwk add a editing part so you can edit your vids ### 5/5 — Awsome *2026-06-20, version 15.5* For bigginers this is an awesome app ### 5/5 — Best Content Organization Tool *2026-06-12, version 15.5* This is exactly what everyone is looking for when it comes to posting on multiple platforms at once ### 5/5 — Best free way to share to all platforms *2026-06-08, version 15.5* To be honest, I wish you could do more than three, but it works great for what I need --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
