Ratings and reviews

I'm not sure why this app is so broken. I downloaded it to preview how new photos will look on my Instagram page. That feature worked for one day and now I can't preview my feed at all. You can't delete any photos you've added to your "media library." The tutorial it forces you into doesn't actually explain anything and you can't exit the tutorial, so I was stuck in tutorial mode for a bit too.

The service is great; the app not so much. All the features available using the pc website are not available on the app: best post times, ability to crop pictures, doesn't allow you to post across multiple platforms. There are other issues, but I'm too frustrated right now to list them all. Just know the app sucks, but the website version doesn't.

No thanks. I had issues that I could see would be a whole thing to try and get past to even use the app. The way Later has people set up is very frustrating and limiting. It didn't even work right on my phone. I couldn't login. Useless. The platform and the design looked great but it itself kept me from being able to even use it. Spent too much time on it. Save your time, try Planoly?
