It’s a good app

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.

Crashing soon as calendar opens

App is crashing soon as calendar opens - very annoying to constantly have to reinstall. This last update was no good.

Gut, aber kein Lifetime…

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.

Needs feature toggles

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.
