Meta Business Suite Hack 360.0 + Redeem Codes

I use this free tool to schedule my client’s appointments, their feedback is mostly positive and that means it’s a positive to me. I’ve had 1 maybe 2 times where clients have said they tried to get a message through but I never received it. That’s not my major issue with this app… but this is and one I’m most hoping will be fixed…
When using the messaging section, you can only message Facebook users that have contacted you initially. It doesn’t allow you to initiate a message thread to any random Facebook user. They have to message you first in order to communicate with them.… why? If I have a customer tell me they are interested in my services, I cant just pop them a consultation message. I have to tell them to message my page to begin the consultation, perpetuating risks losing the business sale. Why???
Also.. my wife, She loves to tag and share other local business’s in her Facebook posts.. however she has told me she cannot tag a non-business Facebook user profile in any of her posts using this business app..I feel like this might be a related issue. Overall I use this app daily. It’s great

I’ve had more problems with the Business Manager than I ever did with Pages. The layout is too “clean” in the sense that everything has the same white/grey color scheme. I can’t share Event Invites/ links to my page’s timeline from the app, which is a problem because I’m a musician. I’d like to “Schedule” my posts about reminders for shows with links to their appropriate Events, but I can’t. I have to go to my actual Facebook app and share them from there (and don’t even get me started on THAT update) and set alarms on my phone for when they need to be posted because I can’t schedule them. I’ve also had a bunch of problems with bugs/glitches, not receiving some notifications, receiving some notifications multiple times, and poor access the server to post on my timeline (it takes a long time, times out, or disconnects completely. I usually have to close out the app completely and relaunch it).

Overall, I feel like Business Manager has just taken important features for some of us away (the reality) versus giving us a user-friendly app to handle everything in one place (the intention). It’s great that I can post to Instagram simultaneously, but it’s still missing A LOT of the features and convenience that was a part of Pages. Stop “fixing” things that don’t need to be fixed. Stop changing the layout. Give us back the features we actually use and need.

The “pages manager“ was simple and easy to navigate using screen reader technology, like a voiceover and J AWS on a computer. Ever since it switched over to business manager, the majority of components are not reading with screen reader technology. As a blind business owner, this significantly complicates me being able to independently use the app. It is beyond frustrating and extremely disappointing. Facebook has come so far with accessibility, and this portion, By adding the new business manager application, makes things nearly impossible!!! I used to be able to share and schedule directly while in the Facebook app, but now I’m required to use the business manager app which things are not labeled, so I have no idea what I’m trying to do while inside the app. And of the data is read off to me, navigating in a logical and sequential order is nonexistent! I am not the only blind business owner who has been having his issues. I am also part of a nonprofit organization, and affiliate of the American Council of the blind, and run the Facebook page for this organization. It is more convenient to just create a group for these organizations, rather than creating a business page, as we keep getting lead back to using “business manager“ which is not accessible in the slightest! ADA States that websites and applications need to be compliant with screen reader technology abilities, and, well… This is just not anywhere near acceptable!

I was randomly kicked off Facebook for no reason. Meta has zero customer service. I’m a paying business customer and was given no reason why I was kicked off just told that I violated Facebook community standards but I was not told which rule was broken or which post was the issue- I think I might have been hacked. This happened on my personal Facebook. I’m the admin for my business account so now I no longer have access to my business account and can not log into either account or my meta business suite account which now messes up my Instagram account. Shortly after Meta charged my PayPal account $800 for Facebook ads that I couldn’t have even taken out since I didn’t even have access to my own account since I’m banned but again no way to contact them. I had to cancel my business credit card and spend an entire day updating and switching over all of my business automatic payment accounts- I can’t even use Instagram ads -my main source of advertising because I don’t trust them with my payment information and again ZERO customer service or even explanation on why my linked Facebook account has been permanently disabled - how do you do business like this. The only way to contact customer service is via your Facebook account which has been disabled even if you have an issue with Instagram- I warn any business giving their credit card info to this company!!!

There are several bugs with this app. It’s not even a functioning app anymore. It used to run great before they changed their name from Facebook pages to business suite. Ever since day light savings change, they have been sending reminders to my clients one hour off from their actual appointment times (you can see how this is bad for business). Also, you can not edit appointment times easily anymore. The pop up box to edit is over top of other buttons on the screen that makes it very difficult. My customers no longer get an appointment confirmation after I confirm their booking, when clients request a book now appointment. So to the client it is as if their appointment is not confirmed. Clients don’t get confirmation when I manually add an appointment either. This app just keeps going down hill. It started out with a few thing once they changed to business suite and it keeps getting worse and worse. I appreciate this app for my business, it really is a great feature to business FB pages, I hope they can start making improvements. At this point even just going back to how it used to be would be awesome.
Edit: yike! This app keeps getting worse! Now I am getting appointments request and it does not notify me, nor does it let me message the client after approving the appointment. PLEASE PLEASE, get this 🙏🏻. Customers don’t understand when we don’t get back to them. I have zero way to contact my client because of this.

UPDATE: Still awful, somehow now worse. Want to see who exactly liked or reacted to a post? Too bad! Tapping “LIKE” makes your page “like” the post. There’s a convoluted way to get around it, but I’m trying to measure engagement, not interact with my own stuff. Same issues with the app have persisted for years. It’s awful. Just use the browser.

Facebook isn’t known for being good and this app is no exception. The only reason anyone is using it, is because Facebook just has a large, captive audience. Even now, in the app’s review panel, I can’t see the words I’m typing. On the iPad, the app constantly switches to vertical mode. Being able to post to Instagram is useless since to add a first comment or bio link, you have to go to Instagram anyways. Facebook tags don’t work at all and when you are able to tag a business, it’s 50/50 if the business even shows up. At least that works somewhat better on the browser. What does work? Facebook’s ability to take your money. Their transaction portion works well. Not sure if this review makes sense, again, the app’s review panel doesn’t show text. Horrible, laughable, and typical Facebook—only used by marketers and promoters to reach an audience hopelessly stuck on the platform until something better comes along or Facebook finally (and hopefully) fails.

You can’t just create a post, check & reply to messages, or do the things you want to do. Notifications for the same comment, message, or post are repeated in different sections over and over and over and don’t go away when you do check them even in every notification location. I don’t get notifications for messages or I do get notifications that there’s an unread message but can’t find the unread message. Our page rating has dropped to 80% responsiveness to messages but I have answered every message—that I can find or have been notified of. No unread messages are showing now and I’ve answered every single one, so how can it be 80%? The reason for two stars instead of one is I do like to create posts through the app when possible because I can schedule them or post immediately without going through the desktop’s annoying and difficult to find Creator Studio.

These apps are NOT designed to be user friendly but rather, it feels like, to waste time so they can brag on how much time people spend on their platforms. Tighten it up, Facebook, and make it user friendly and time efficient! Stop wasting our time!

The app is helpful for managing both instagram and Facebook, but using both the Facebook and Instagram apps is actually much more helpful within their individual apps. Don’t get me wrong, I i th still use the meta business suite out of convenience but the issues are actually inconvenient. Example: messages sent via MBS aren’t updated live and it’s difficult to “refresh” the app to update the messages that have already been sent and received. Example: updating photos is actually terrible. You can choose which photos you want to upload but you have no idea how the photo is going go look after you post it. I posted a picture of a guest from my podcast and from his neck to his head was cut off completely. Sure, I could’ve made sure the photo fit the dimensions of FB and Insta, but I didn’t and I ended up having to delete the entire post and repost it after having already received likes and reactions to the post. I hope yall would make the meta app just like the apps that it represents. That’s the biggest issue that needs to be resolved.

As a social media manager, I really appreciated having both business suit and ads manager on my phone. It made boosting posts and running ads super convenient, not only for the FB pages I manage but for our IG accounts too. About a month ago, I randomly got logged out of both of these on the app, and ever since then, it hasn’t let me log back in. I continually receive a message that says “ looks like you entered an error in your email address, we’ve corrected it for you, but we need you to renter your password for safety.” Every time I renter my password, but I continue to receive the same message. I even tried different passwords on the off chance I was using the wrong one, but I still received the same message. And when I click “need help” there is absolutely nothing about this issue or what to do about it, or how to report the problem. I’ve also tried deleting the apps and reinstalling them multiple times, but I still run into the same problem. After a month of continually trying to log into both apps, I’ve given up and deleted both, pending-permanently. Because of my job, I’ll probably end up reinstalling and trying again at a later date, but right now Im just fed up and don’t need these app taking up space on my phone.

Putting ads on is a nightmare. I save my audience, only to find when I place my next ad that the audience has been selected by business suite AGAN. and the audience they’ve selected for me is completely irrelevant to my business. FRUSTRATING. Then when I FINALLY get it all done, and click on “boost now” this Is what I get: AN ERROR HAS OCCURRED. TRY AGAIN LATER. If somehow I am finally successful, it takes forever for FB to approve the ad. AND, the one ad was stopped because my card was declined….impossible. But I went ahead and reprocessed the payment ON THE SAME CARD, it went through and guess what? I was charged TWICE. Now I’m disputing that too!
Also cannot figure out how to just simply view my page. It shows my post. One post. I want to see what my customers see when they click on my page.
I literally despise this app. And as a result, seldom even try to post ads anymore. It wastes so much of my time every time I try. And I’d really really like to put an ad out there once a week. But being a garden center, I don’t want the audience FB picks for me: Appalachian trail, adopt a pet, breweries, and some musician named Chris. Ridiculous.
I’d give it zero stars if I could.
