Not Great, not Terrible.
As someone who uses Planable daily as part of their job, I would like to say that if it were up to me I would just get rid of it. In my honest opinion it creates more problems than it solves. I'll elaborate : - Storage is very limited for a basic plan, which is the plan most people need, including someone using it for work. Trust me, the added features are not worth the extra cost and they are also not the extra features that anyone actually wants. - Platform integration is spotty at best. The Instagram algorithm automatically swats planable published posts, or any 3rd party posts for that matter, but it is also lacking the features that you actually need to be able to fully control the posts themselves. Stories NEVER actually publish when trying through Planable, I can't select music, I can't tag anyone, I can't collaborate or use ANY of the auxiliary features available when posting directly through Instagram, but oh, wow, I can add a location. Great... thanks. The same lack of features goes for most platforms that you can connect to Planable, as there are essential ones missing from each of these. - The Pinterest integration is terrible, but it's mostly the fault of Pinterest, however, it seems that the strict "aspect ratios must match" rule only applies to third party apps such as Planable, but the Pinterest app itself doesn't seem to care that one image is 2000x3000 and the next one is 2001x3000... It works just fine, so the strict limitation is a fabrication. - The UI design and functionality is clunky and very buggy. I often encounter problems with buttons simply refusing to do anything, let alone what the text on them says. This goes for both the browser version in Safari as well as Chrome AND the iOS app as well. - Why exactly can't I change the post type from, say "post" or "carousel" to "reel" after I've created a post and saved it as a draft? That's another absolutely fabricated limitation that could be done away with, and I fail to see why it's like that at all. I should be able to change a post's type at any point between creating it and actually publishing it, instead of having to create a new post altogether. All in all this service could do a lot of improving when it comes to software development, how it's coded, what's included in the different pricing plan tiers and platform integration. If Meta will not allow certain features through 3rd party apps such as this, then what is even their point? I'm not going to "template post" something through Planable to 5-7 different platforms just to then have to go on each platform individually and make changes to each one to get it where I actually need it to be. I'd rather just do that from the start, in that case, and waste less time.
