"Amazing so far!"
5/5
What do you like best about Lately?

I love how quickly you are able to generate posts from your content. I have been able to schedule hundreds of social media posts in a few hours. This would have most likely taken me days to accomplish this same feat! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lately?

I have noticed some features like the queue have tended to be a little buggy for me at times (when I try to reorganize posts, they jump back to the original order). I think it would be extremely helpful to be able to add several pipelines that operate similar to the queue (continue adding posts for different social networks and have these queues work independently of each other). For example, I could set up one queue that publishes a specific type of content weekly and another queue that publishes a different type of content daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Lately is Valuable for Generating Social Posts using AI"
5/5
What do you like best about Lately?

I like that I can simply put a blog post URL and Lately will generate around 30 various social media post options pulling from the content of the blog post. This is a huge time-saver and allows me to be more productive in maximizing the value of each blog post. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lately?

Sometimes it gives me too many posts and it is work to delete a bunch of them. I wish I could say I want 10 and it would give me just 10! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User Friendly"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Lately?

I appreciate that Lately is so user-friendly and makes scheduling social posts so simple. Plus, the analytics and insights on best times to posts are a wonderful asset. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lately?

There isn't anything that immediately stands out. Though, it would be great if there was a way to boosts posts from their platform when you schedule a post. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Lately is THE only tool you should have in your social media arsenal."
5/5
What do you like best about Lately?

My company has been using the Lately platform for a bit over a year now, and all I can say is -- I'm hooked. By means of AI or as I like to say magical sorcery, there is no more staring into the abyss, no more writer's block, no more analytics confusion. The Lately AI auto-generates your posts for me. I remember the first time I used the platform and a post was generated, I was like "whaaaaaatttt." When our posts go out now I know 100% that they are fully optimized for our SEO, our brand, and our message. Since using Lately our social engagement has increased significantly, so much time has been saved, and I no longer have the desire to hide under my desk when posting something on social media. Our experience using Lately has been amazing. Thank you Lately! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lately?

They recently rolled out a new platform that resolved any issues that I initially had. So my only dislike is having to answer this question. :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Support for Social Media Exposure"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Lately?

Very helpful for small organizations without the capacity for dedicated marketing and communications staff. Can calendar posts and create posts from articles and blogs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lately?

It is not a substitute for having social media expertise on staff to manage your social media presence. It is a tool that improves efficiency with social media engagement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Lately AI is My Go-To for Autogenerating Social Posts from My Blog"

What do you like best about Lately?

I use Latey to amplify each of the blog posts I write. I particularly love that feature that allows me to schedule my social posts into the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lately?

It does take some time to learn how to use Lately AI. But that's true of any good SaaS platform I've started using over the years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best tool to grow your social community with artificial intelligence"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Lately?

I love the organization and order in this platform, it is really easy to find and check everything you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lately?

I always work as community management and everything that lately offered me I wished before, when I didn't know this awesome tool. I think that as a community manager, you need to save time and with lately you will have a lot of time free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Game changer"
5/5
What do you like best about Lately?

I was using Buffer (paid) and found it a very manual task to schedule my posts across different social media platforms, having to create 5 unique posts for each blog. Lately does this all for you across the written word, as well as transcribing audio and video. It then segments the video / audio up and creates short clips, with the related transcript. I can create a 100 or so tweets, for example, from a 30 min vlog in a matter of minutes! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lately?

I had to change some of my processes and way of thinking to get an understanding of how their dashboards work, but Chris on the customer success team was awesome in terms of helping me through this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
