Buffer is unreliable Core features are unreliable. It works well in theory, but the main reason you buy buffer is for scheduling, which does not work properly. Posts often fail to posts without any clear reason why, so often, in fact, that the entire purpose of staying with buffer comes into question. We still have to manually posts ad hoc when a post fails, so it does not save us much time and causes internal frustration on a weekly basis because we have to quickly manually upload it from home. I have two businesses I use buffer for with multiple platforms attached. Issues occur with both and on different platforms (Instagram, FB, Linkedin) Support is useless. They just blame the platform and ask you to repost it. I, and my colleagues, have reported the failed posts dozens of times, it's useless. The repost feature fails as well. You can schedule a repost with one click, but it often fails. The images somehow get deloaded, and you have to manually re-upload them.

I am astonished these folks are still in business Giving Buffer one star is really way too generous. They provide no way to get in contact by phone. This "small, remote team that is distributed globally," apparently doesn't receive any training except for how to upsell. They don't READ my messages, and certainly don't address my issue. I've submitted two tickets and had multiple email exchanges with various staff in an attempt to get a simple matter resolved, which never resolves. I either get a long email directing me to take multiple steps to buy a bigger account, or the customer service rep doesn't READ my email thus doesn't answer my question or help me. Terrible, terrible customer service. Truly the WORST customer service experience I've ever had.

Advice for new customers -> Advice for new customers -> Buffer will charge you for a full year of publish and analyse, even if you think you've changed it to monthly. This is the only subscription I've seen that enrolls you onto yearly automatically, very shady. Recommendation for Buffer: Don't auto-enrol trials onto the yearly plan and don't auto-subscribe trial users onto the analyze plan. Most people just want the publishing plan and they will forget to cancel analyze as they never signed up for it. Thanks,

Very Missleading. Very Missleading. I thought I could use one account for each 3 platforms and then I saw I could add multiple profiles for each 3 platforms. I know it sounds weird. But the language of the service isn't clear and does not do what it is promised.
