Postcron

Very convenient for those who need to schedule their Social Media posts

Opmerkingen: I really appreciate how Postcron makes my life so much at ease. No need to post carousel posts on Instagram on real time anymore. But there are serveral limitations to improve. If Postcron can solve all those limitation I believe it will become on of the best app for Social Media Management ever. Looking forward to see your improvement.

Pluspunten:

Postcron can improve my work life by allowing me to schedule the social media posts in advance. I have searched for tools that can schedule the carousel posts on Instagram as well as Instagram story.

Minpunten:

1. I don't like the limitation of 18 posts on Instagram per day as my business sometime have to post more than that. 2. The mobile application can not post carousel photos on Instagram, what I did to solve the problem was I use the postcron on mobile browser. The application should have the same capacity with the website. 3. Postcron does not allow us to pick the video cover for Facebook and Instagram posts. 4. I still cannot put hashtag or rich content on the scheduled video for Instagram story. The Art Studio only allows the rich content and hashtag for Instagram story photo posts. 5. The interface of the scheduling page should allow the users to see daily, weekly, monthly schedule clearly. See how Buffer do it as the references.

Excellent scheduler and great customer support when needed. Software is easy to use.

Opmerkingen: An easy to use social media scheduler. You can set up quickly and easily and start using it. Its perfect for the non-tech savvy and the busy business owner. Its also super affordable!

Pluspunten:

I've road tested and researched many different social media schedulers and this one by far is my favorite. I recommend it to all of my super busy clients! Its easy to set up your accounts and its free for your first 4 social platforms and then the bottom tier for additional social media platforms is chargeable. It connects to all the major social media platforms including Pinterest boards. You can watermark your posts and its easy to schedule your posts. If you're uploading dozens or hundreds of posts you can easily do that with an excel spreadsheet. I don't use this functionality, but it is available. You can track analytics of your posts as well. They're customer service isn't instant, but its good. It usually takes anywhere from 3-6-12 hours to get a response, which is still very good in the tech world. Also when you get a response they are good explanations so you can get your questions answered. Ease of use, analytics, good customer service and the addition of new functionality as well as training via blogs and emails are the reasons I give this 4 stars compared to other costlier more complex programs out there.

Minpunten:

I own two companies and I do all of our social media and I do have one person that assists with it. For me, I don't mind that both of my company's social media platforms all appear together at the top of the page. However, if you're a social media pro with multiple clients you may wish that each client's social platforms appeared in their own pages or in a slightly more organized manner. I want to clarify - that this may be available and I just don't know about it, so don't base your decision on this con alone. The only other con I can possibly think of is that I wish the online chat were truly more responsive in a more timely manner. I usually reserve 5 star reviews for software companies that knock it out of the part in the quick response and quality of online chat or ... at least... a phone number where you can talk to a live person. Its frustrating when you're working on a project, run into a problem and then have to stop working on that project while you wait for someone to answer your question. And while Postcron does have a Help page with FAQ's I almost never can find my question in there. But... I'm giving Postcron a 5 star review because their response time is reasonable and because I love their platform so much.. its so affordable and other social media schedulers are more expensive and... its so easy to use! So for functionality, affordability, easy or use and reasonable response they get 5 stars.

There are better options than Postcron

Opmerkingen: Bad, their are better options out there with better supports.

Pluspunten:

I liked that you could manage multiple groups from one platform.

Minpunten:

Too many connection errors, and media limitations. If you can't make a bill they will block your account then when you do pay it they don't change your renewal date. I paid $30 to use there service for 4 days before they demanded payment again and blocked my account. Their customer service is horrible and they refuse to help or understand why someone would not want to double pay.

Easy and Effective Posting

Opmerkingen: We have hugely increased our social media footprint in a way that was too labor intensive before we had Postcron.

Pluspunten:

It is really easy to get started and you don't have to spend time learning. I like that we can set up groups of social media outlets to send posts to combinations of outlets at one time. I switched from Hootsuite. It was just too complicated and too expensive. Plus, if you can't do bulk loading of posts without pictures, why do it. That function was important to us on Postcron. They keep adding functions like IG stories and design in program that add a lot of value and have kept the subscription price low. Postcron has good customer support. The get back by email relatively quickly and you can tell it is a real person that makes sure your problem is solved. No cut and pasting from F&A like others! I recommend it to all the small businesses I know, but it has capabilities for any size business.

Minpunten:

I wish we had a direct login. I don't like logging in through google or facebook. I wish the chrome upload extension for photos worked when you are in google drive.

Simple tool for scheduling posts to keep your pages active

Pluspunten:

Remembering and taking the time to post every single day can be difficult. Postcron makes it easy to take an hour or two out of your day and schedule posts for the whole week. You can also upload spreadsheets of posts and save them to re-use later.

Minpunten:

There does seem to be some glitches with the bulk uploader, and you definitely want the paid version to schedule a reasonable amount of posts and link all your accounts.
