Has big issue!

It seems like a great app however I say “seems” because why did i have to reset my Instagram password to login only to be told it was incorrect? Once I got it logged in, it sent me through a whoooole verification process that had so many glitches on its own that it confused itself into thinking i was messing up so it no longer allowed me to continue. I got one channel logged in but every other one has been doing this and I’ve wasted 30 minutes attempting to log in when I could’ve actually planned out said content I’m wanting to schedule… I would’ve loved if I worked, could save me so much time but there’s some weird glitch going on during the log in process that is only in this app and not the main apps like insta, facebook, etc.

You'd think an app that lets you post your content across multiple social networks would be a simple no brainer, right? Wrong. I've tried all Buffer's predecessors and they were all variations on kludgieness, ranging from clumsy, to overly complex, to downright weird. Buffer gets it right. Clean, simple UI and standard behavior across all its permutations: app, web site, and browser plugins. That's not to say it's perfect. For instance, if you've created a post to multiple networks using the same schedule, and then decide you want to change the schedule, you'll need to update the schedule for each target social network separately. Likewise, if you manually change a schedule, then Buffer may double book a posting for the same time in your default schedule. For example, if you have a schedule for 12, 3, and 6, with your last post scheduled for 12, and you decide to manually reschedule that post to 3, when you post another without manually setting its schedule, it will schedule the new post also for the 3 o'clock slot instead of the 6 o'clock slot. These annoyances are a little time consuming to wrangle from a service that's meant to save you time, but they're still not as annoying as the competition.

Buffer finally corrected the issues below people were having with adding locations to Instagram scheduled posts. Now all is back to working perfectly and with ease. Thank you for finally solving that issue, Buffer! You are by far my favorite post scheduler and I was struggling without being able to use you. So happy to be back using Buffer!I’ve been using this app with my Instagram business account to schedule and automatically post on the date and at the precise time without any issues until a week ago when I was setting up a post and I went to type in my location (it’s an app search feature) and the app said it couldn’t find my location (I tested multiple locations, nothing came up) and so I hit cancel on that location screen and then the entire app freezes and I can’t do anything else with the app until I restart my iPhone. I’ve contacted Buffer who says they are working on the issue, but it’s been going on for over a week. Sadly, it’s time to find another Instagram scheduling/auto post app. Buffer customer service is not helpful whatsoever!!!

Sorry for the issues here! We've resolved the issues with location tagging, we had to work with Facebook to get this resolved which took a little longer than we hoped. https://status.buffer.com/incidents/wlwrzxn8fk23

Great also for personal interests...

... I guess this is mostly geared towards businesses that cross post to multiple social sites but I use it to support artists, etc. because it allows me to space out posts so it doesn't turn into annoying spamming. I also dislike FB and this allows me to only have to visit every few days because I can acquire most info from email or SMS alerts; repost via Buffer. Being able to recall pasts posts also saves a lot of time. The developers are also very responsive to emails and super helpful which I appreciate beyond what words can express.Regarding this recent update I am not sure what is going on with the two reviewer's accounts but I have been using Buffer all day on an iPhone 5 and have not experienced one issue. The developers are really nice and responsive; why not try and resolve an issue before crying and tossing a crap review? * use a lot on my iPad now; not universal but still works like a charm :)*Nice new look and features I haven't really explored but looks good and still works well on phone and pad. Not really interested in the feeds, as I use something else but can see where others might be.
