Comments on Buffer: Social Media Scheduler for Android

★★★★☆ Andy Chaplin · May 2, 2026

Basically a good app that really helps to organise social media posting. Only small issue is that scheduled Bluesky posts fail what feels like 50% of the time. Apart from that, no complaints.

★★★★☆ Alexander Larsen · May 4, 2026

Mostly great but I'm really missing a way to see which queued post belongs to which platform in the "All Channels" view. Just a little platform icon on the post or something.

★★★★★ Keith Devereux · May 14, 2026

Buffer is great. I really don't use it enough. Easy to set up and schedule a post for most social media sites.

★★☆☆☆ Cade Birge · Apr 4, 2026

Buffer used to be fantastic, but now I have to post to all my socials manually and individually again since the last update. When I create a post with multiple pictures, go through and add image descriptions to each, and add it to the schedule, I then look back, and ONLY the first image stayed in the post. This is true even if I let buffer post it. This has wasted so much of my time and energy lately, trying to get a post for my business put up this week, and it didn't even end up working.

★☆☆☆☆ okorie john · Apr 17, 2026

Terrible I must say... Good at what they offer but what platform on earth has no functional customer service? Secondly your pricing is twisted, cost of 4 accounts is more than twice the cost of 5 accounts and cost of yearly plans is twice the cost of 1 month x 12.... I tried reaching customer service to know: since I have 3 free accounts, if I buy 1 premium will I still have my 3 free and that 1 or do I lose the 3 free and get only 1 left... Unfortunately customer service just doesn't connect
