Doesn't work. Simply. Chrome says extension hasn't been updated since 2017. Come on hootsuite, you can do better than that! I wish i could have buffer's extension with hootsuite's functionality in one package!!

It used to work well, but now doesn`t work at all.

Bianca 2021-02-07

Already asked hootsuite helpers, they insist my chrome/laptop is the issue, but seeing a lot of people on twitter complaining the same issue like me, i think hootsuite must aware, the problem is their product not me or other customer's device. Fix your hootlet.

Sarah Stewart 2021-01-11

Used to work and I loved it. Hasn't worked since 2019 I'd say. I still try it occasionally because it would be awesome if it worked. Would love a fix.

Lauren Gallagher 2021-01-02

It doesn't work at all, I've written to them and heard nothing in return. I've used Buffer and their chrome extension works great! What's crazy though is Hootesuite charges the same price as buffer. I am considering switching if I don't hear back from them soon. Also, buffer offers a few other perks that hootesuite seems to also be missing.

No está funcionando ni en chrome ni en en edge chromium desde hace varias semanas.

Es funktioniert nicht. It does not work at all. Poor Technology

Adrian Grant 2020-10-21

Does not work!

Vineet Bokaria 2020-10-13

just doesn't work. no emails for support. waste of time

Big Apple Media 2020-10-01

Hootlet is probably the worst thing about HootSuite. It never works. I keep getting an error every time I try to share something. It worked at some point but everything was poorly formatted and it was worst user experience of any app. It's sad that they cant' make it work.

Sarah Turner 2020-09-26

It used to work great - but hasn't now for months. Please fix! This is the message I receive every time: "There was an error processing your request. Please try again later."

Mita Srinivasan 2020-09-15

The 2020 updated version has a bit of a glitch but I am so grateful to have this option and hope it only gets better.

Jamie Bullock 2020-09-09

It would be great it it worked but no page I go to can I share. I keep getting the same message - 'there was an error while processing your request. Please try again later.' Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

Roy Larke 2020-09-06

The extension worked well for me for years, but it no longer works at all. Now 3 years old, so I guess not a priority. Buffer works, thankfully.

Grant David Gillham 2020-08-22

My original post: "It would be nice if it worked." Update: Still doesn't work as of 24 Jan 19. Update: 22 Aug 20, still doesn't work. You'd have to be crazy to pay money for this. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has this problem. I'm wondering why anyone would buy their premium products? It's a shame, this app has so much potential.

Joe Purnell 2020-07-21

No longer works on any site other than Twitter itself. Used to be an essential part of my work day, now a daily hassle. Would use several times a day if it was fixed.

Troy Schmanke 2020-07-10

Stopped working, over two weeks now. Is this a dead app?

Michael Burgus 2020-04-01

Simply does not work. It has an error when it starts that keeps from doing what it is supposed to do.

Kamal M 2020-02-05

لا يعمل

Blake H 2019-10-21

Doesn't obey basic keyboard short cuts for even basic word processing. Don't use this app

Sara Hood 2019-08-15

Yeah, it's gone bung. With the recent change to Twitter, the hootlet has disappeared from the Twitter feed. I used that all the time! Removed and reinstalled the app. No change. Contacted Hootsuite. Eventually got a response from someone who said 'clear your cache'. Sigh. I replied to say 'with all due respect the problem is on four devices (mobile, laptop, Android phone and desktop PC) so it's not going to be the cache. And have never heard from them again. Tried Buffer but it doesn't do what I need. I want to be able to quickly and simply schedule retweets of other people's content. The dashboard for Hootsuite is all fine and good. I can schedule tweets through there. But others do that too.It's not unique to HS. Am now looking for alternatives. All ideas welcome!

Carla Eisenstein 2019-08-06

It worked once then stopped working.

Thomas Hain 2019-06-18

Doesn't work for pinterest.

Tiara Brown 2019-06-18

Never worked. The popup looks like it's loading then disappears. Useless. Update: Tried re-adding it on my home laptop and with a paid version. Still doesn't work at all. Completely useless.

NW Social 2019-06-02

It is the only way to rewrite a tweet, that is all it is good for. Hootsuite is a horrible interface.

Jorge M 2019-05-27

Funciona cuando quiere y mal, muy mal. Usamos la versión de pago y tampoco funciona correctamente. Da más quebraderos de cabeza que ayuda

Edward s 2019-05-02

Worked the first day. Now it doesn't work on any websites...

Does not work as designed.

Stacey Carroll 2018-12-09

Very very glitchy. It drops links, removes text.... I have several posts scheduled now that basically have no content other than hashtags. the links got dropped. My options now are to go in and manusally re-add the links. The whole point of this extension is to NOT have to do that!

Patric ohne k 2018-11-21

Funktioniert einfach nicht

Jennifer Pricci 2018-10-03

This is a completely UNETHICAL and IMMORAL company. On 8/1 Facebook Changed their API. Since then I have been unable to post to any of the 20 Facebook Groups I manage. They turned off chat so I went to Twitter for help. THEY MUTED ME. I opened a support ticket. Someone called from the UK who couldn't stay on the phone because of the time difference. But before he hung up he rearrange by entire dashboard and my posts started cross-posting from one client's account to another. I LOST THE CLIENT WHO GOT THE CROSS-POSTED CONTENT. I have had to MANUALLY RESCHEDULE ALL POSTS THAT WERE ALREADY SCHEDULED THROUGH THE END OF 2018 FOR ALL CLIENTS. Meanwhile FACEBOOK GROUPS IS STILL NOT WORKING. Hootsuite is telling me to schedule the posts again. Or delete the groups, re-add and schedule again. So for a THIRD AND/OR FOURTH TIME they want me to MANUALLY RESCHEDULE POSTS FOR 20 GROUPS! Again I take to Twitter under my personal account. THEY MUTE ME AGAIN. THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE PUBLICLY ANY OF THIS IS GOING ON. THEY ALSO DELETE MY COMMENTS ON INSTAGRAM. FACEBOOK PAGES ARE NEARLY USELESS SO I DON'T BOTHER THERE. AND NOBODY ENGAGES WITH THEIR POSTS ANYWAY. Seriously, go look at their accounts, and see just how many likes and comments they get. I get more engagement on pics of my dog. Shouldn't they be experts at this? A trade Mag called The Logic saw my posts and called me. They quoted me in their article about how, as a result of hacks and increased security by platforms, and software tied to an API is in trouble. PERHAPS THAT IS WHY 17 SENIOR STAFF MEMBERS AT HOOTSUITE HAS LEFT OVER THE PAST YEAR. It is 10/3. Over 60 days without a day off because I am manually posting the 17+ fail notifications I get each day. Instagram has disconnecting regularly now too. And then when you reconnect it, you have to reauthenticate it as a business account to bypass the two-step post process. Only it already is a business account, so what are they even asking. HOOTSUITE HAS BEEN ZERO HELP. AND ON TWITTER THEY HAVE THE NERVE TO TELL ME I HAVE A SUPPORT TICKET OPEN. YES, THIS IS THE FIRST ONE, THE GUY IN THE UK, WHO WAS GOING TO CALL BACK WHEN HE HAD MORE INFO. THAT WAS NEARLY 2 MONTHS AGO. MEANWHILE I WAS TOLD LAST WEEK THEY NO LONGER OFFER PHONE SUPPORT... I WONDER WHY? This is a shady, no-good company that posts articles about how consumers trust brands who are authentic on social media, meanwhile they're muting their customers, hiding from customers and LYING to prospects by continuing to sell a flawed product. Hootsuite has made my life a living hell and the competing software is so much more expensive that I'd have to raise prices on my clients. And I'm afraid I'd lose another as a result. Hootsuite has already cost me one. In full, I'd say Hootsuite HAS/WILL COST ME AT LEAST $50K in time and revenue between 8/1/18 and the end of Q4. NIGHTMARE! I also plan on contacting the BBB. Again, this is largely as a result of hacks like Cambridge Analytica, 'Fake News' backlash and election interference, etc. ALL OF THAT WAS BEFORE THE DOJ PRESSED CHARGES AGAINST THE N KOREAN HACKER FOR WANNACRY. AND BEFORE LAST WEEK'S FACEBOOK HACK. Be forewarned, if Hootsuite is working for you now, great. But they are tied to an API and it is only going to get worse. So much so I'm even changing my business model as I believe we're seeing the beginning of the end of social media marketing for small/medium-sized businesses (and perhaps all together). The user's will feel it last, and not for a long time. Just know it is a serious situation AND HOOTSUITE DOES NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES TO SERVE YOUR NEEDS.

Have had multiple issues lately. First they dropped API interface for LinkedIn Groups, then Instagram gpt clunky on mobile, and you often have to "re-connect" the platforms. It's almost more trouble and time than it's worth. Could just go to each of the platforms individually and do separate posts... and save the yearly fee.

Osa Musa 2018-09-17

It DOES NOT share images at all, despite saying that it does. Pretty disappointing from something like Hootsuite.

Marion Paris 2018-09-13

c'était plutôt très bien jusqu'à ce que cela ne fonctionne plus malgré une désinstallation et ré-installation...

Rolf Mistelbacher 2018-08-27

Not working, tried re-installing, same result. Looking for alternatives.

Edward A. Sanchez 2018-08-24

For the most part, it's handy. It's capabilities have diminished, but only because of Facebook's practices, etc.

久米功一 2018-08-20

非常に使いやすい、日本語の使い方の説明が少し必要かも

Houston Hutchison 2018-08-04

doesn't work at all

Steve Wu 2018-08-03

Doesn't work. Keeps showing 500 error.

THIS IS VIAL !!!! dO NOT INSTALL OR DISTRIBUTE !!!

Tina Larsson 2018-07-27

It only works sometimes and it significantly slows down my browser! Also, it creates a very annoying box in the middle of my LinkedIn feed that I can't get rid of.

Benno Wyss 2018-07-10

Looks as this extension doesn't work anymore. So take it out of the store or you just annoy people.
