“[Buffer] ★ 1/5 (v14.6.2) — Very annoying, all and website seem to be down half the time. For a service that charges such a ridiculous monthly fee, I would expect much better uninterrupted service. Will be looking elsewhere to better spend my money seeing how I’m not getting what…”

“[Buffer] ★ 1/5 (v15.7.1) — 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!”

“[Buffer] ★★ 2/5 (v15.4.1) — Constant timeouts and media doesn’t upload. A great idea poorly executed”

“[Buffer] ★ 1/5 (v15.4.1) — Totally decent app when it’s working, but it will drop connection to your social platforms at least once a week and the process to get the connection refreshed is such a headache. Nothing ever seems to work.”

“[Buffer] ★ 1/5 (v15.4.1) — It wants to sign into the wrong Facebook account and won’t let me choose the right one. If I could choose no stars, I would.”

“[Buffer] ★ 1/5 (v15.4.1) — There’s constantly bugs and if you need something efficient that works at least 60% of the time I’d choose something different.”

“[Buffer] ★★★ 3/5 (v15.1.8) — Seems like you can’t actually post to multiple channels in the app? It looks like you can and then once you’ve scheduled it it all of a sudden has removed your second channel.”

“[Buffer] ★★ 2/5 (v15.1.7) — I tried connecting my accounts through facebook because on Instagram you can tie all your accounts to your FB and post but buffer absolutely bombed on this part. I try to do it an it just takes me to my IG page without connecting anything. All this app does is give you a headache. Like I have now”

“[Buffer] ★ 1/5 (v15.1.1) — Sadly the customer support, replies and assistance from Buffer are abysmal. Numerous posts not showing up - no response for days, then a ‘we’re aware but don’t know when it’ll be fixed’. Probably the worst social media management options out there :(”

“[Buffer] ★ 1/5 (v14.2) — Update: i tried it again unfortunately... I came back to give you one more chance and I'm pretty sure I'm done here.... I'm not sure what the technology is like with this app but it only works for a short period of time until there's more issues. Im either going back to Plann or finding a new one... this app needs to be fixxed because there's ALWAYS something. It won't even let me log in to "refresh my channel" and THEN is says i don't have any instagram accounts connec”
