Tweet and status scheduler app Buffer which has taken the automation market by storm has launched the new BufferApp for iPhone that is now available within the App store for you.
What can you do with the iPhone App?
There are a few key features that will make your life easier to share on the go:
- Add any article you are reading as a Tweet or Facebook post to your Buffer right from mobile Safari
- Reorder, edit and delete your updates
- Check on your analytics from inside the App
- Swipe conveniently across different Twitter and Facebook accounts
How to add any article to your Buffer from mobile Safari
The first thing is the new Buffer Bookmarklet for your iPhone. It will allow you to tap “Add to Buffer” whilst you are reading any article. With one click, you can add it to your queue. Just how you can already do with our browser extensions.
Here is how easy it is:
Here is a real quick walk through to get the bookmarklet setup:
- Inside the App, go to “settings”. Tap on open Safari, which opens a page with a guide.
- Here, tap “Add Bookmark” and quickly add this page to Mobile Safari. You can call it “Buffer Bookmarklet” or whatever you prefer so you can recognize it. Once you are done, click “save”:

- As the second step, head back to your bookmarks and click “edit” on the bottom left. Click your “Buffer Bookmarklet” and then go into the URL.
- What you have to do to make it work is to edit the URL slightly. Set your cursor after the “#” sign. From there, including the “#” remove everything before the word “javascript”. Hit save afterwards:
You are all set! Head to any webpage you want and start Buffering. Whenever you like an article, click your bookmark bar and tap the Buffer bookmarklet. It will work just like you are used to using it from the web interface with our browser extensions.
How to rearrange, edit and organize your Buffer on the go
Of course, you are able to rearrange and edit all Tweets from within the App, just like you are used to do with the web app. The first thing that might be useful here is to edit updates.
To do this, just tap any update that you see in your Buffered queue showing up for you. If now you decide that you want to actually delete this Tweet, just tap “options”. You will see that you can now either post the update now or delete it altogether.
To rearrange the order of when your Buffered updates are going out, just tap the reorder button at the top right. You can then drag and drop updates around however you want.

Accessing your analytics and swapping between multiple accounts
Very prominently you will immediately see the “Analytics” section at the bottom of the App. You can tap it to see all about how many clicks, retweets and reach you have gotten with your Tweets. It is a great opportunity to filter out those that have done better than others and try new and better copy for more Tweets.
You can also conveniently swipe across the screen to get to other accounts you have connected. This works for both when you are in the analytics section and the queue section of course.
You can even use the Buffer Android App, that has been out for a few months, has received some great responses, sending close to 15,000 updates every day. What do you think about the new iPhone app? Leave us your comments…
