You can use Hootsuite on your smart phone, tablet, or desktop.
For Smart Phone/Tablet:
1. Go to the App Store and download Hootsuite (it is free). If you put Hootsuite in the search field, it will come right up. It has a little Owl icon and has a longer official title. Download it.
2. Once you have downloaded it you will have to go through some set-up steps. It is self explanatory. If you have the option to just connect to Twitter, do that. It may force you to connect to your Facebook page too. That is how mine is.
3. Once you complete the set-up, you will get a screen that looks like the one below.
4. Tap Scheduled. It will take you to a page called compose. Write your message.
5. There is a menu bar just above the keyboard with icons. On the far left is a calendar icon. Tap it and it will take you to the next screen.
6. Ignore Auto schedule and go to the calendar at the bottom of the page. Select the date and time you want your tweet to go out.
7. Then tap the word schedule in the upper right hand corner. It will take you to another screen. Tap the word Schedule again.
8. You have successfully scheduled a tweet. Tap the compose button in the top right hand corner and repeat the process.
