overall it's a great app for scheduling your content to auto upload. great for someone like me with a full time 9-5 that still tries to post content every weekday. the main issues I've encountered, however, is that posts to specifically my Instagram will fail quite often even if all my other channels post completely fine, however this has seemed to be resolved in the latest update (if it continues to occur with further use I will note that in an edit to this review).

I prefer using Buffer on desktop simply because I can do more on there than with this app (e.g. make threads), but I only have one hour on a library computer to do everything I want to do; I don't have my own computer. Poor feature parity with desktop severely hurts this app. Zero offline functionality makes it useless entirely, because I don't have a cellular plan nor Wi-Fi at home either, so instead of being able to schedule posts or save ideas, I have to keep a separate queue anyway.

Can't add my Instagram. - Yes, it's connected to a profile. - Yes, both accounts are connected to each other in the Accounts Center - Yes, I've allowed Buffer to have fun access needed - Yes, I followed Buffer's solution prompt to no avail, as everything they suggested was already done or enabled on my account I've tried on both the mobile app & computer browser but continue to receive same error message "Looks like we've hit a snag. Would you mind trying again?" Uninstall!
