Are there any plans for a native iPad app? Love Hootsuite for the iPhone, but it just doesn’t make use of the available space on the iPad.

Does this mean there will be more features on the Android app? Presently it doesn’t offer as much as the iPhone app. I recently switched to an Android phone and was bummed to find I couldn’t post to Facebook, or my Facebook Pages that I administer. I purchased the app on the iPhone platform as I felt it was worth it but I’ve been holding off buying it for Android until more is included.

Currently it seems I will only get the ability to check my link stats with the full version. I’m using Seesmic for Android right now for free since it allows me to have 3 Twitter accounts and a Buzz account.

Will Hootsuite for Android offer posting to Facebook Pages soon?

thanks!

Yes. FB integration, including FB Fan Page integration, is coming soon for the Android app. Be on the lookout for some upcoming announcements.

FB Fan Page integration will lift you head and shoulders above the competition! Excellent news!

[Reply]

I’m not clear on the “grandfathered owl” section above. Is there any benefit to buying the app now before it goes free? It sounds like maybe the free version will be ad-supported and the grandfathered people won’t see that?

Just started using Hootsuite and I love it, so thanks!

[Reply]

I don’t understand this “grandfathering” thing. Can you explain it a bit clearer. What is the difference whether you upgrade as a grandfathered owl or just download the free app? Are there ads in the forthcoming free app? That is all.

On Oct 13, we’ll be changing the price of the full version of HootSuite to free. There won’t be a new version at that time, just a price change. No ads will be in the app at that time.

Grandfathering is something we’ve done to ensure people who’ve already paid for the app can continue to use the features they’ve paid for. There’s no need to buy the full version for $2.99 — this is just something for people who already spent a few bucks on it.

[Reply]

Is V 1.0.11 the latest version of the Pro app? Market doesn’t appear to be telling me there’s an update available so I’m presuming this is it and I will be grandfathered…?

Also, is there going to be a version with integrated Facebook as well, like the full web version?

[Reply]

Jeff Reply:
October 8th, 2010 at 7:58 am

Yep, that’s it. If you’ve got a HootSuite account and you’re using the app, you are probably already logged. ;)

[Reply]

What’s the advantage to upgrading and using the app before Oct. 13? Won’t you be able to get all the full features for free after Oct. 13? I’m confused, somebody please explain. (Regardless, I still love HootSuite.)

Sorry, should have said “update” not “upgrade.”

We just want to make sure people who already paid for the app are running the latest version, so we can log them.

This may be a stupid question, but will the Hootsuite for iPhone you guys are releasing on October 13th ad-free?

I doubt it, but it won’t hurt to ask. I just want to clarify. Thanks.

Jeff Reply:

Yes, the app will be ad-free on Oct 13th. But ads may be introduced later for Free users only.

We are in the process of lining up our mobile apps with our HootSuite Pro accounts, so that Pro users have access to additional features on their mobile devices. Pro users will be able to opt out of ads on the web or mobile versions.

Note that free HootSuite.com users (on the web) will begin seeing Twitter’s Promoted Tweets in their streams very soon, and mobile apps will follow suit.

[Reply]

I’m a little confused here. Sorry. I read this over a few times and I think I’m missing something.

I bought the hootsuite iPhone app, and as I understand, it will now be free. I’m fine with paying $3 for it, it served me well and I’m happy that I could invest in the company.

Now my question is with Hootsuite online (via computer). I currently manage about a dozen accounts, will I have to buy PRO? I just checked the pro website and it says “HootSuite Pro is currently for new members only. Existing members can continue to access HootSuite for free without any restrictions”

Does that mean I won’t need to get a pro account? Will I still be able to manage all my accounts for free?

thanks!

Hi Greg–

Thanks for purchasing the full version of the app.

When you use the app with your HootSuite account, we log you to be sure you’re grandfathered in. This means you’ll continue to get access to unlimited social networks, no ads, and stats on your phone.

HootSuite web will be migrating existing users to Pro/Free accounts eventually, and at that point you would need to upgrade to Pro to continue to use all 12 of your social networks on the web. You will still be able to use all 12 on your phone.

Sweet. Thank you for the clarification.

I’ve been with you guys from pretty close to the start. It’s a great product, and it’s Canadian! I love it when we can create something that generates this much excitement across the world!

[Reply]

So, if I understand this correctly: if you purchase/upgrade the Pro prior to Oct 13, it will remain at $2.99/mo. Starting Oct 13 the Pro will go up to $5.99/mo? This is the advantage to purchase it before the 13th???? Could someone clarify this.

thanks,
Carolyn

Guys I have a feeling that you are giving us something for nothing with the upgrade, and as we all know in lif there is nothing free, therefore I think it will be to the detriment of Hootsuite that you will start displaying ads on Twitter and if that is the case I will go elsewher.

Keep it as it is please!

I installed the hootsuite app for Droid recently and wanted to see if there was any plans to include the ability to broadcast to Facebook and LinkedIn as well? I could only seem to locate the ability to do tweets – thanks!

Any chance a webOS version is in the works? HP is going to throw serious money and spec-jumps at it in the near future and it’s not going away.

I updated the iphone app from lite version to full version.
I’ve lost the functionality to reply to tweets….:-(

Just downloaded it for both Android and iPhone! Awesome! Using it to handle my client’s Twitter /FB sites. Thanks so much for making it free

[Reply]

Isn’t the purpose of hootsuite to post both twitter and facebook simultaneously? I am receiving force close when I try to add my facebook account. I need an app that will allow me to post to both at the same time on my droid HTC hero.

For the record, I wanted to post how difficult (as a beta and later grandfathered HootSuite user) it was to get social streams working properly again on my iPhone 4. I had opened several help requests since December 2010 and wasn’t provided with meaningful information on what was being done to troubleshoot the issue and/or no updates for long periods of time.

It appears that the last iPhone update HootSuite pushed during SXSW fixed the problem.
