## Pablo Reviews
  ### 1. Pablo - An app by Buffer : Could do a lot better

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Hemantha C. | Data Analyst, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 22, 2017

**What do you like best about Pablo?**

Although in it's early stages - in Pablo, all you have to do is compose your text, pick a background picture, and later download or share it. As simple as that. We can utilize our own Background images too.Pablo changes it dimensions that suit Twitter or Facebook. The "insert graphic or logo" feature is very commendable. No heavy lifting to do for designing social media creatives or try hard to mug the various image dimensions that come with designing them. The chrome extension also does a great job when you copy a text from the web pages - it just is an added ability that you don't have to open an extra web page yourself. Pablo avoids that inconvenience. Kudos for that!

**What do you dislike about Pablo?**

Pablo lacks a lot of things and needs many improvements if it has to stand out.It currently doesn't offer support for LinkedIn and Google +. Also, the customization is very limited. The fonts are not all good. Pablo is only on the web and doesn't have any Application for iOS or Android. Pablo could also be more flexible about the resolutions. It is only good if you want to use it once in a while - for example when scheduling on Buffer and you need a quick design to add to your tweet or post. It is not as striking as Buffer though.

**Recommendations to others considering Pablo:**

Pablo is good if you want to try it for a while - considering it does a great and quick job at creating decent images with text. But it is nothing outstanding like - Canva or Adobe Spark Post. Pablo is still evoluting and needs lots and lots of improvements and features that have to be added to make it work.

**What problems is Pablo solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Being a Social Media Marketer, I needed a tool that could give decent images with the correct resolutions for platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Pinterest.  Pablo helps one to just select your Quote or Matter Clipping and instantly format on a background of your choice and immediately use it or add it to your Buffer schedule.  The text on the image automatically gets added to our tweet or fb post which can later be edited if we like.

  ### 2. Basic, Limited and Slow

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** John K. | Director of Sales, Marketing and Advertising, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 18, 2017

**What do you like best about Pablo?**

The most common social media template were front and center and easy to access and switch between.

**What do you dislike about Pablo?**

The interface was quite slow. It would drag. It also made you go through the intro every time.

**Recommendations to others considering Pablo:**

You cannot save in the program.
