Postly reviews

The autoscheduler refused to work for RSS. I had reached out to the team multiple times to try and organize. Similar to what others on here have sent, I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU RETURN IF YOU STILL CAN. AGAIN, DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT, you will be throwing your money away.

This software sucks.

Here are just four of the reasons why, but there are others:

Posts don't publish at the scheduled time

Postly auto-expires social accounts and you have to watch/monitor your account to make sure they don't expire. This is annoying and causes stress. Other apps don't do this.

List view is useless. All you see are slivers of the posts and only ONE platform. In this screenshot, you can see a +2 next to linked in...but what are those two platforms?

If you want to edit a post to change one thing...or to just view all the settings...all your settings for the post, including the time, are reset to default. Here's a screenshot from Postly's support.

We're going back to a more stable, more mature system. Unfortunately, we are past our 60 day return window.

NOT Recommended.

Unfortunately, unlike my expectations it's a bit slow and not well responsive.

Postly used to be a relatively good piece of kit, but you can no longer save posts as drafts which renders it pretty much useless in my opinion.

It's possible to schedule posts, so if that's how you work this could be a good fit.

If you prefer to first create posts, without committing to a date/time to post, I'd look for an alternative

I wish I was still within my 60-day refund period, but sadly this isn't the case.

Postly has been very helpful in some areas. It is helpful to be able to post across platforms. Some areas aren't as easy to use and there are definitely some limitations related to the AI components. There have also been some instances where posts have not posted or there have been duplicate posts on IG. It would be helpful if there were greater options for content creation ideas (for example, more holidays or sample templates).

Postly was great when it started out, but is now basically of no use to anyone trying to automate their twitter account. You can't use it unless you pay $100/month to twitter. I don't know how the Postly team can think this is okay. It's left me with a pretty useless tool.

I really like postly. I wished they would focus more on the real management part of the social media channels rather than "fancy" stuff like AI. e.g. I would just love to have basic things like reposting a post not just every Month or every Year (rather something like every 2 months or 3 months or every 6 months but the gap is big between 1 month and 1 year). Sometimes the platform crashes and I need to redo my posts and they promise a lot of "we will do it" but then it takes a long time or nothing happens (e.g. for almost a year I am waiting for the 3 months or other reocurrence)

Overall a good tool and would support them again because it has potential but they should really focus on the core basics to make it more marketer friendly.

As a social media manager, I have tried various tools to streamline my daily tasks and enhance my productivity. However, none have impressed me quite like Postly. This incredible tool, powered by artificial intelligence, has revolutionized the way I approach social media management. With its intuitive interface and intelligent automation features, Postly has become an indispensable asset for me and my team.

I bought this a while ago to stop paying the obscene fees of others, but it looks like I have to keep paying because there is still NO mobile app.

How many people, especially on social, are chained to a computer in 2023?
Mobile-first. Mobile-first. Mobile-first.

It's a great set of tools, but truly *critical* things are lacking.

They say the mobile app is coming for Facebook and Instagram, not the entire suite of socials, which is explicitly why I got it, along with analytics. I don't use those two channels, so the mobile app will still be useless to me. Most people using AppSumo are not 12-year old kids, they're professionals. Those channels have value, sure, but not nearly as much as they used to, maybe 5 years ago or more, but not now.

I asked months ago when 2FA authentication was coming, not just for the web, but for the mobile app...still nothing. I am not connecting critical business apps and comms to something that is not secured. So after a few tries of the product, I had to stop, because --- my Facebook got hacked after using it. Why? No 2FA.

I give three tacos for all the amazing tools and integration, yes, all awesome, but start with the critical core services first, then do all the other AI add-on, and other goodies, not the other way around.

It has worked pretty well so far on my end and integrates with all popular social media sites. Has lots of potential especially with AI integration. The UI needs some work, it can definitely be improved.

I really wanted to like this program. I tried to run a series of scheduled marketing campaigns (FB, Insta, LinkedIn, Twitter) that included reoccurring posts. Unfortunately, it just doesn't work the way I expected. Bugs identified with the calendering. Bugs and problems with security settings with target applications would cause the account to be immediately disconnected. As others have noted, I felt customer service was less than responsive and that my problems and concerns were noted, but not resolved. They are always really busy. After months of waiting for things to get sorted, I am bailing. I am not eligible for a refund, but maybe I can save you a few $ on the front end, but more importantly time and frustration.

All kinds of trouble posting videos. Trouble really started with H.265 encoded mp4 videos. If you hope to post a video, encode with H.264 and don't expect support to understand this when your video won't play back or post. Most platforms can handle H.265 but Postly does not yet. Another issue with video posts was #hashtags getting replaced by the #postly hashtag. Maybe I chose too many but give me a limit per platform please. Lastly, once the trouble starts, who knows when it will end. New posts get stuck with an endlessly spinning "Scheduling..." button that never completes.

Postly is currently unavailable on AppSumo, but if it ever returns, I hope it's much improved for video posting. Here's hoping the devs work out the issues and getting it working correctly. I like the simplicity of the UI. Now if they just fix the backend issues I think it will become a pretty good app and earn another taco.
