### "Hopper HQ"

March 11, 2021

5.0

Pros

In our busy lives we do not always get to post to company social media platforms, luckily with Hopper HQ ensuring there are regular posts is easy and can be scheduled months in advance to ensure there is always something happening. The ease of use is amazing and it Hopper HQ is the most cost effective. Posts are always on time and customer service when things go wrong is amazing

Cons

I wish there was a way to schedule "Story" posts

### "Hopper IQ is a winner!"

November 21, 2024

5.0

I truly love this software and can see myself using it for years to come.

Pros

Hopper HQ is a fantastic social media scheduler that keeps things simple but comes with a load of options. The interface makes it look easy, and honestly, it is. The calendar view and the social post generator are easy to master and work seamlessly.

Cons

Nothing. It's perfect and I can't seem to find any weaknesses in the software. Everything just works.

### "Charged after immediate cancel—copy-paste excuses, zero help"

October 12, 2025

1.0

I never used the product. I was still charged and when I asked for help, support just repeated the “non-refundable” policy. No consideration of context, no partial credit, and no actual resolution. I canceled immediately after noticing the charge and have since disputed it with my bank. This felt like a poor customer experience from start to finish.

Pros

None. I never used the product before being charged; I didn’t complete setup or post anything, so I can’t honestly speak to any benefits, features, or value. There were no positives for me to evaluate based on my experience.

Cons

Being charged despite not using it, no grace or goodwill, and copy-paste “non-refundable” responses instead of real help.

### "Bulk upload and grid view 👍"

June 8, 2022

4.0

Great, I like it, mainly to batch content.

Pros

HopperHQ is great for scheduling and bulk uploading of images and bulk editing posts.

Cons

It doesn't show reels in Insta grid. Occasional faults, when service isn't provided there should be discounts or refunds.

### "Hopper HQ Review"

May 19, 2020

5.0

It has solved our problem of posting every day when our schedule gets crazy.

Pros

If you need to be in front of your clients on multiple platforms, look no further. Hopper HQ will save you time and money. Schedule your posts and don't look back! The staff and help center are amazing with any questions you might have. We use it for IG, FB, Linkedin and Twitter.

Cons

They keep adding new features all the time. If you need something for a specific platform they will do their best to help you out.

### "Terrible Service"

February 3, 2020

1.0

Disappointing and frustrating.

Pros

When it actually works it does what it's meant to do.

Cons

It's constantly disconnecting. There is no point in scheduling posts if you have to go check that your scheduling tool is working every day. After months of frustration, we asked them to shut down our account literally on the day the payment was being withdrawn. They both refused to refund that payment and to shut down our account when we asked. They said we had to pay for another month of not using their unreliable products per their policies.

Hi Cara, I'm very sorry to hear you didn't have a great experience, its certainly not what we set out to do. I can see from our chat logs that you did have some connectivity issues however we were unable to debug these as the accounts were removed. With regards to payment you of course have the option to downgrade or cancel your subscription at anytime online. However I can see that you were in fact refunded the payment when you requested (and before this review). Please do get in touch with support if there is anything we can support you with further.

### "Hopper HQ Does the Job"

September 1, 2019

5.0

Making people aware of my art and other services.

Pros

I like the straight-forward UI and clean, uncomplicated layout. It's easy to use, too--most tasks are self-explanatory. It does the job for me--I don't really need much more than what it already does, and I'm hoping the ease-of-use will not change in future.

Cons

I wish it was possible to add a bit more automation to the app. For example, I publish one drawing per day to my three networks. Currently, I have to front-load the entire task--pick an image, add a caption, set a publication date--over and over and over. It would be easier if I could, say, pick a range of dates, set one upload per day and have it pull the images in alphabetical order from a specific directory. So on day one, it would pull image001.foo, then the next day image002.foo etc.

Hootsuite because too bloated and slow, with way way too many options and features. My needs for this kind of software are pretty simple, so I'm always going to go with the simpler option.

### "Finally"

May 20, 2020

5.0

Easy, efficient, professional. As the owner of my company, social media is usually the part of my job that needs to come from me but i like doing the least as I need to put hours aside to organise. With Hopper, its a joy to use, plan and schedule.

Pros

We've been playing around with a number of different platforms to manage our social media and we've finally found one that does it all... even down to informing us on the popularity of our # choices. Its easy to use and the image editor is a god send. We have lots of glossy, magazine ready photos from our project but they sometime need a tweak here and there for the different social media channels so the editor is perfect.

Cons

I am still relatively new to the software so I am yet to find anything I really dislike.

### "Hopper Makes it Easy"

November 17, 2019

5.0

Invaluable benefits in being able to count hashtags, post when I'm not online, plan out posts a week ahead of time, and view Analytics. A must-have business tool for Instagram.

Pros

Honestly, at first I was really disappointed. I signed up for the free trial and to see that you can only plan posts and they'll remind you to post them without ACTUALLY posting them was really disappointing. But when I sent a complaint about this, I got a super helpful response right away and they helped me set up Autoposting, which was actually so easy that I feel silly for not figuring it out myself. So yes, from Hopper HQ, you can upload photos to Instagram from your computer (already invaluable) and plan them to post during peak hours when you're unavailable. They also count your hashtags for you. If you're a budding business depending on Instagram, I definitely think this is an extremely important tool.

Cons

Honestly, once I got the hang of it, I had no complaints. Everything I could think of to want is there.

### "What an amazing timesaver"

October 21, 2024

5.0

An absolute pleasure to streamline our business.

Pros

This software has significantly transformed the way we manage our social media presence, both for our own accounts and for our clients. Its user-friendly interface makes it an absolute delight to use for scheduling and posting content regularly. We've seamlessly incorporated this tool into our arsenal, enabling us to manage multiple social media accounts with just the click of a button, a feature that has drastically improved our efficiency. The integration into our weekly and monthly processes ensures that all our clients' content is accurately and consistently posted, aligning perfectly with our strategic timelines. A standout aspect of this software is its incredibly responsive customer support team. The implementation process was meticulously detailed, providing clear instructions that led to a flawless setup. Although we encountered a minor issue with a client’s Meta account, the exceptional assistance from \[sensitive content hidden\] enabled us to resolve the problem swiftly, avoiding significant downtime. This level of support reinforces our confidence in the software. Without a doubt, this tool merits a full five-star rating for its ease of use, robust functionality, and outstanding customer service.

Cons

None that we have experienced with the software yet.

### "From Gramblr to Hopper HQ."

August 28, 2019

5.0

As a single, privat user, I think it help me to get accurate images of my artwork to Instagram, and that opens up to a bigger range of people, a better chance to spread my work, as look, and have contact with other artists around the world. Its a very good program.

Pros

When I started with Instagram 2 years ago I understod that the only way to publice posts was from a smartphone. I didnt have that. But I found Gramblr, free way to post on Instagram directly from my PC. So I went with that for some years and it worked but not very reliabel and somewhat shaky. Another problem was the distorsion of my images. I often do finepoint inkdrawings, scan it and prepare it via Photoshop and publiced with Gramblr. The problem was that Gramblr distorted the fine lines of the drawing and it didnt look as crisp, rather a bit distorted. But, I had no choise. Then Gramlr disapeared and I soon understand there was no free programs out there to do the same things. Finally I found Hopper HQ and with the personal and welcoming support of the rep and others I took a trial. It took a while to understand it, but I got it right pretty soon. The striking difference from Gramblr to Hopper HQ was that my drawings and other artwork was so crisp and accurate at Instagram, even fine lines. So I was very supriced and glad to se how good it worked. Its easy to pick images and post them. Its a great way to get your images to Instagram via your computer.

Cons

Its a bit expensive for a single user who post ca. 10-15 images a month. I dont think I can afford it. So at this point I dont know if I will continue use Hopper HQ when the trial is over. But I wish I could because it works so good.

Pros

Posting to social media used to take me hours. With HopperHQ it is now a 10 minute job each morning. Support is excellent

Cons

It would be improved if it was easier to post to different geographical locations according to time zones as our clients come from all over the world

### "Reliable, straightforward interface, exceptional customer service"

May 12, 2020

5.0

I have an account I manage with daily instagram and twitter posts. It's not a heavy workload but it is every day. Being able to schedule the posts at my convenience is incredibly helpful.

Pros

Hopper is one of the only schedulers for instagram that you can use for non-commercial accounts (when I signed up, it was the only one I could find, and it may still be). It's reliable and easy to use, it has a twitter side, and has really exceptional customer service. They are nice people to interact with, and that counts a lot for me.

Cons

The filter options for photos aren't quite as intuitive as native Instagram, and the Twitter side of the equation could use some tweaking.

Reason for choosing Hopper HQ

At the time it was the only product I could find that supported non-commercial instagram accounts. Reviews were also very positive.

January 7, 2022

5.0

It was overall a nice service to schedule pictures posts and reels though frustrating with how it handled video scheduling.

Pros

Easy to use and you can schedule a lot of post ahead of time.

Cons

Video scheduling with Instagram is not good. Didn't post in many occasions and when it did it wasn't on time. I end up uploading videos manually to Instagram instead. Definitely a con with this service and something that could be improved in the future?

### "A truly amazing tool that quickly became an essential part of our marketing workflow"

September 28, 2017

5.0

Saving a huge amount of time managing our Instagram accounts, Increasing the quality of our social media marketing.

Pros

It's very quick to upload and schedule lots of content. We upload a month in advance and then add other posts and comments as needed. It takes us about 30 minutes to create and schedule a month of regular posts. The newer features to view and plan your feed have been brilliant to help increase the overall look and feel of our Instagram accounts.

Cons

There are 3 of us the use the tool and all share one login. Together we manage 5 Instagram accounts via Hopper HQ. It would be good to have the ability to login separately and maange different accounts. Only a minor point but would be a nice addition.

November 4, 2019

5.0

My team and I are able to schedule any post cross platform with Hopper, and have them scheduled well in advance, or complete on the fly posts with ease. The value and performance of Hopper HQ is unmatched :)

Pros

It has all the features I need. Gallery Posts for Instagram, Video content, cross platform posting and scheduling, nothing lacking with Hopper HQ!

Cons

At first, there were several features I was in need of (gallery image posts on Instagram, Video posts). The Hopper HQ team was in the development stages of this when I signed on, and within a couple weeks, it was fully functional. I now cannot think of one thing that is a "con" when it comes to Hopper HQ.

### "Extremely useful!"

January 23, 2019

5.0

Thoroughly happy with Hopper HQ and will not be using any other product or service from any competitor.

Pros

Extremely easy to use! The ability to set it and forget it makes life much easier when building an Instagram, Facebook or Twitter account. Customer support is easily accessible and they are all very friendly. Hopper HQ even asks customers to recommend additional features that they would like to see in the future. Strongly recommend Hopper HQ!

Cons

I've asked if Hopper HQ can add the ability to add location to the posts so that it's possible to tag a location. They explained that they have received that request from others and are definitely aware that customers would love to have that feature.

Pros

1\. Very easy to use. we tried multiple social media posting platforms and Hooper HQ was the quickest and easiest to start using. 2. Ability to batch upload and schedule large amounts of posts very quickly. No other software we used was this efficient. 3. Supports Video content. 4. Supports Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Cons

Currently Hooper HQ doesn't support Linkdin so I am forced to use inferior software to post to this site.

### "It's very helpful for me, totally helps me manage the feed without it taking up too much of my day."

April 11, 2018

4.0

This this was already covered in the first round of questions....

Pros

Easy to use for the most part, does what I need it to do with a minimum amount of fuss or time spent.

Cons

I am not not wild about the time/date setting, which is a new change I know. But it is really much easier to just write in a time and switch the date if need be. Also, I'd like to be able drag and drop the photos into an order and just set an interval when doing multiple posts, like "every 75 minutes post the next photo" and forget about picking times all together. A notepad for storing hashtags and IG handles would also be helpful.

Hopper truly helps me stay focused on what's important for my business which is my creativity. I no longer need to spend precious time posting to social media, Hopper does it for me!

Pros

This software makes social media less time consuming and more enjoyable. I recommend this to anyone who doesn't want to spend their days trying to post, but instead would like to spend their days working hard for their business.

Cons

There are a few features on Hopper I wish existed, but they are very quick about development and i've been pleased with their progress and growth.

Best program I've found for my needs.

Pros

I love that I can upload content I create on my computer directly from my computer. I also love that I can schedule posts in advance. It's easy to see what I have scheduled.

Cons

If there's a way to tag someone I haven't found it. Sometimes it takes me a lot of trial and error to figure out the steps to take to get the result I need, for example, that there is a size limit of height and width of pictures.
