I've seen several of these pop up like Up for Instagram and many get shut down quickly for understandable reasons. I'm surprised IG hasn't built a tool for brands to better manage their feed.

@rrhoover So many of them use Android emulators to process the actions, bit concerning that agencies don't have a solid (and legit) tool for this, the uptake would be massive and Instagram could probably charge for it too.

@rrhoover Yeah, a friend of mine is building https://www.hopperhq.com, which I think looks a bit nicer than this. Also surprised that instagram hasn't sorted it...

@joelapatrick @rrhoover Instagram doesn't want to sort this. They want brands to use their paid sponsored ads to post, and not to post for free on regular accounts.

@rrhoover Hootsuite I think has the ability to post to Instagram now.

@rrhoover I'm very surprised too. I manage multiple big Instagram accounts and basically use an Android phone that can be controlled on Mac OS, so it is way faster than typing and managing them on the phone. Hope Instagram creates a tool for this, or at least let developers do it.

@_jamesmundy @rrhoover Hootsuite just reminds you. A notification that reminds you to post ≠ publishing. We don't notify you to post. You schedule your post, we post it.

@rrhoover Ryan, I think most products get shut down just for lack of customers. As you can see it’s really cheap tool for customer. So it becomes extraordinary important to reach critical mass for payback. For that reason from the first day we subscribed some digital agencies (100+ customers each) from Germany, Australia & Canada to stand on its own feet… See more

@_jamesmundy @rrhoover it does - but what it does is send the update to your phone to manually post when the scheduled time comes. Miss the notification and you'll miss posting.

@jameskoole @rrhoover Meanwhile, Instagram ads have gotten so bloody annoying, they’ve made me consider ditching the damn thing completely.

@joelapatrick @rrhoover Hopper looks nice enough, but 2 scheduled posts and 10 posts max per month on a $10 plan is a tad restrictive.
