Hi Hunters!
I’m one of the Co-Founders and CEO of the PublBox. Thank you @davidroberts for hunting us! I am thrilled to share with you everything we’ve been working so hard with our team. We’ve built a social media marketing platform for business and individual entrepreneurs that helps plan, design, automate and spread creative content across all major social networks.
Nowadays, social media has become not only a key part of the modern lifestyle, but a useful marketing channel for businesses of all sizes. So whether you’re a small business, big enterprise or an influencer, by using social networks you can connect and communicate with your audiences in better ways. However, we realized that managing social networks or creating a content is not that easy.
It’s very time consuming, requires a lot of human resources as social media marketing experts, designers and it’s quite expensive. So what if you don’t have those resources at your disposal? What if you don’t have time to search for the right app to design your post? What if you don’t have enough knowledge about social media marketing at all?
So we wanted to create a platform, unlike any on the market. A place where you can accomplish all of your social media goals by using one platform only.
Our killer features are:
Engaging Posts - professional ready to send posts specifically designed to create community engagement(including text for the post and the graphics itself);
Design Editor - content library of thousands ready-made covers, avatars and images that you can edit with ease;
Content Strategist - create a plan of your own content strategy or let our service to help you with one to fit your needs;
Post Advisor - perfect ideas generator tailored to your social media needs;
Facebook Tabs - six designed Facebook tabs to create contest, giveaways and many more.
We’re really excited to show off PublBox and would love to hear your feedback! We’ve also prepared 50% off special to all of PH community! Available only in April!

Wow. Right now I`m looking for the tool like this one for my SMM team. I should definitely give it a go.

Eugene, thanks for your feedback! We highly appreciate it!

I was able to use the platfom in the beta stage. I love the idea of suggesting what to post. People often set up social media accounts “because everybody else has them” and… don't know how to use them so that they sell. Publbox solves this problem.
Pros:
Walks you through the process of posting on social media, even gives you inspiration as to what to post.
Cons:
None that I know of.

Paul, grateful for your feedback! You've mentioned a really good point that everybody has a social network nowadays, however not everybody knows how to manage the business pages, what content to post, when to post and so on. This was one of the reason we came up with the idea of creation of PublBox service.

I was excited at the idea of an app generating content for me (if only a topic hint/suggestion). However, after signing-up, there was ZERO onboarding; a completely blank view. "Have no data" isn't an exciting first experience. (screenshot) http://share.sqr.fr/v/YkJhNQemeG...
@pixelmelter Alan, thank you for your comment! It is important to us. For the moment we have introduced onboarding at the web version of our service, onboarding for apps is coming soon.

@alexand32692536 I see the desktop version now — ENTIRELY different experience. You should kill mobile views entirely, or provide a big note. I was about to run away and never return. #firstimpressions!!!!
@pixelmelter Thank you for checking out our web version! It is the main for the moment; the mobile app was developed to keep track of your social media on the go. Creating a mobile app with full functionality is immensely hard, but we are working on it.

Have the people posting positive reviews have ever actually used the product across multiple accounts and groups, or just tested it on one or two?I have wasted so much time on this account. The reality is actually NOTHING WORKS. I cannot understand how they are getting such fantastic reviews. Here is a SELECTION of the MANY things that have gone wrong. This is just a selection. And the customer support is useless. They constantly misunderstand the problem and I don't think any of them are native English speakers so there is a language barrier too.
1. my face book accounts repeatedly disconnect - and I cannot reconnect them unless I'm at a laptop.
2. When I make a post, it posts to SOME accounts but not all. So I need to go and check which accounts it's posted to, manually.
3. When it's counting twitter characters, it does not 1. shorten the link and 2. count the characters in the link. So you think you're OK on character count but then your link takes up 100 characters. And, unless you count that yourself and then subtract it in your head, you've no idea how many characters you actually have for your message. I've never in my whole life seen this.
4. When selecting accounts to post to, sometimes I'm literally unable to select some of them. They are scrolled off the screen and you cannot scroll to them. Currently, since my Instagram account is the last on the list, I cannot post to Instagram at all because I cannot scroll to select it. Meanwhile, second from the end is my Linked in Account. This has been selected, and I cannot deselect it, because, as I said, it's off the screen and I cannot scroll to it. I ALWAYS have to post to Linked In.
There is not enough space in this review to list the problems with Publbox, but the worst thing is the support. They don't understand what the issues are and keep sending me cut and paste answers that are not solving my problems. I cannot believe that I am the only one experiencing such a wide range of problems - I'm not sure I've ever made a single post without issues. I've struggled, because it's cheap, spending hours of time to get it set up, but it's an utter waste of my time.
Pros:
they promise lots of good things
Cons:
It doesn't work!! anything complex doesn't work!!

Publbox is great if you have to manage all your social media on your own and you want to be active in a lot of channels. It's a real time saver.
I also really like that you can design your posts right there, instead of doing it with another software and having to import it.
They're also really great about making recommendations of what to post. It's like having a team of editors working for you.
Pros:
It's very easy to use and does a lot of the heavy lifting for you.
Cons:
None so far.
