Followr, hidden gem
I see where the last couple of reviews are coming from, but honestly, I think they're a bit harsh.
I've used a fair number of these social media management tools out there (Metricool, Buffer, Hootsuite and more). But, put them up against Followr and it's night and day. The user interface on Followr is spot-on, making it stand up among others even if it didn't have any AI functions.
Where I found using other tools became a bit of a chore, with Followr it's actually fun.
What makes it stand out?
1) User-friendly interface (UX). Even if you strip away the AI, Followr still rocks.
2) The AI feature. It allows you to search by news, prompts, links, holidays and more.
3) Vista Create. It's similar to Canva, and it's built right into the app.
4) When you create with AI, you can choose from creative images (made for you by Canva and the AI), stock photos (handpicked for you), gifs, and many more.
Now, what's missing (in my opinion)?
1) Analytics export. It has great analytics, just no way to export them yet. I hope they'll sort that out soon.
2) It needs to incorporate YouTube Shorts and Google My Business. It's on their roadmap. Hopefully not too long.
3) Trends.
4) They should bump up the Appsumo prices. It's offering way too much value for the cheap price they're asking. They should also consider storage limits (!!).
What else is missing?
There are a couple more features that aren't there yet, but I've got other tools for those. So, if they add these features, cool. If not, no biggie.
1) Social Inbox. They're actually working on this one and it's about to roll out soon.
2) Comments feature.
Are these essential for me? Nah, not really. But for others, they might be. Better an omnichannel platform with AI chatbots. Don't you think?
My main concern really is the long-term sustainability, because the value you get from this tool is huge.
Does it have some issues when creating with AI? Yup, but seriously, not as many as others make it seem. And hey, even if it messes up half the time, that's just how AI is. It's a draft.
The good news is, it's super easy and quick to manually edit and have Followr tweak your text and adapt length for every RRSS (with AI).
So I would say, just test it out yourself, it's really worth and a steal for that price. My 2 cents.
