Tried just entering the actual tweet content and still doesn't work. There is no support, FAQ, or instructions of any kind to help. ### 4/5 — Really good but *2023-10-26* Really good but I wish they'd update the app so twitter links work again ### 1/5 — Not working *2023-09-17* It simply no longer works so time to delete this app ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2023-07-13* No updates no notifications just stopped working when pasting URL from twitter **Developer response:** Hey there - sorry to hear that! Would you mind trying again?

You can reach us on twitter @buffer or email at hello@buffer.com ### 5/5 — Amazing little tool from Buffer *2023-05-16* I’ve been using Buffer for years but just noticed and downloaded this app last week. It’s actually a really nice tool for social media publishing, especially on Instagram. ### 1/5 — A good idea but it doesn’t work *2022-10-25* It’s a neat idea…take a URL and auto generate a social media card that can be uploaded into Insta or your buffer queue. Except that (a) the cards are very limited and can be customised much and (b) the posting doesn’t work. All the images go straight to my camera roll an have to be uploaded manually, which defeat the object. Shame. ### 5/5 — Very attractive way to present stuff! *2022-10-12* Perfect for FB/insta stories etc! ### 2/5 — Connecting to apps not intuitive *2022-08-25, version 1.3.4* Title says it ### 1/5 — Not very good *2022-06-29* Unfortunately seems to be no beneficial addition to buffer ## Frequently asked questions about Remix by Buffer ### What does this app do?
