I really can't imagine life without buffer. Been extremely helpful with my posting and scheduling
β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… Harsh Jain Β· Jun 29, 2026
I recently discovered buffer and it is great. Just one request - please add Substack in the channels option. It is a growing platform. I mainly schedule written content across X, Threads etc. and it becomes messy to post it separately on Substack.

Buffer my beloved πŸ’– I've been using this site (and now app) to make social media posts for me on and off for years, 10/10 no notes
β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… Perfect Boy Β· Jul 16, 2026
This is a perfect app for those who runs brands, easy to post from all social media at once, easy to use. I really enjoy it; for me this app deserves 5 stars 🫑
β˜…β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜† Amy Β· Jul 12, 2026
App never allowed me to login despite all troubleshooting. Error message provided no details, but I even changed my password despite being able to log in on web. Went back to using my browser on my phone.

The most useless scheduling app I’ve ever used, with absolutely terrible customer support. I contacted support two weeks ago and still haven’t received a response. But the most ridiculous part is that the app still asks you to manually confirm publishing to Instagram. So what exactly is the point of using a scheduling tool? You might as well post directly through Instagram and skip the extra service entirely. Zero stars out of five. Too bad that’s not an option.
β˜…β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜† Jonathan Manning Β· Jun 4, 2026
For months now the app has stopped posting multiple images. It does not matter how far out they are scheduled or if it's just two or six, the app will only post one of the images, and it's a random pic. If it would at least choose the first or last or whatever number consistently I could still make some use of it. As it is, I paid for an annual subscription and have not been able to use it for several months. The support team were quick to respond, but they have not corrected the issue.
