Updated Review

UPDATE: The company got back to me and addressed my concerns. [1] When creating posts on multiple social media platforms, although there is only one text box on the left, if you click on the right on each "preview," you can edit the text that way. There was nothing to indicate this, so I still don't think this is very intuitive. However, I am happy it is at least possible. [2] There is still currently no ability to use different images for each, but I am told this feature is coming in the next 3-4 weeks. Once this change is made, I will be able to stop using multiple platforms to post and only use this one. THAT will definitely make the purchase worth its weight in gold. Until then, I will mainly use this to schedule evergreen posts in my Facebook group and use another scheduler for my actual posts to save time when I batch content.
----------------------------------------------------------
If you will be using this mostly for recurring evergreen posts (i.e., in your Facebook group), this will be perfect for you. However, if you like to batch content across multiple social media platforms, Sociamonials has a couple of flaws that are too huge to ignore!
[1] Although you can create posts for multiple social media platforms simultaneously, there is currently no way to customize text for each social profile. For example, if you post to IG, FB, and Twitter, the 280-character limit of Twitter will prevent you from creating any long-form posts on the other two platforms. You either have to type the same exact text for all posts or create individual posts, which I think is rather silly, especially given the differences in platforms and hashtags used for each. Most social media scheduling software can do this (i.e., in Later, Buffer, and Hootsuite).
[2] When trying to create posts on multiple platforms simultaneously, there is no way to use the same photos for say two posts and a different photo for a third post. Again, most social media scheduling software can do this (i.e., in Later, Buffer, and Hootsuite). This is a huge disadvantage to those like myself who batch content. I hope this is changed ASAP. Otherwise, it will take 3x as long to create and schedule the same amount of posts I currently create. For example, in Later, you can click on a post and edit it individually even though I created posts for 3 different platforms at the same time. I can also upload an image and customize or swap out that image for a different one for each platform simultaneously while creating a post.
These two features are a huge time-saver. Not having these features is a huge con for content schedulers who don't want to have to manually create each post on several platforms. Because these two features are missing, I still have to use another platform to effectively create my posts across 3 different social media platforms, which kind of defeats the purpose of buying this.
I will hold onto this for a month or so to see if these features are added. Otherwise, it likely won
