LinkedIn: Jobs & Business News

Good app but it is better on a computer. I have no idea how it may have worked on my old Note 5 that I was using until 2020. We also lived in a very rural area in the mountains where just keeping the electricity on and navigating through downed trees (and power poles) could be a challenge. So far where I currently live this works well (until the power is out).

The ads in this app irritate me no end. Ads from various organizations disguised as messages, and the feed, good lord. Literally every three posts, the app inserts an ad. And it shows me the SAME ads every single time, including one for a technology I've worked with once and NEVER want to work with again! Yet no matter how many times I remove the ad, it comes back next time I open the app! I despise the fact that this app has become practically required to get a job in my field!

There is an overabundance of fake/scam job postings. Now I constantly receive spam texts and emails...from jobs I posed to and jobs that I haven't! ...Not to mention it's a waste of time if I actually applied to the job. It's maddening. It's also ridiculous and manipulative that you can't use certain essential features, like the remote work filter, unless you download the app! The amount of times I see "no results found" when I just saw results for the exact search is ridiculous.

More bugs than a cheap motel. I've been an avid user of LinkedIn for years. I keep avoiding the app because 1.) It's always been a data hog 2.) 9 outta 10 times it has a glitch of some sort. I just DL'd it today hoping it was better. Nope! The prompt came up for dark mode. I closed it. I don't want dark mode. The app went into dark mode anyway. I'm trying to access the settings to turn off auto-play (data hog) but it's a blank screen. Literally nothing there. I'll stick with the website. 🙄

Fails to access app when reading emails. Recently the app has not been as good as in the past. It looks Cvs up when I receive an email from LinkedIn. When I tap on the link it says I should "use the LinkedIn app." Then tries to load LinkedIn as if it's brand new. Very frustrating. Even after reloading it fails to recognize that it's loaded. Tried erasing and reloading but doesn't fix the problem. Gotta fix this!!!

In the last week, the app has been kicking me off every few hours. I uninstall it, restart my phone and install it again and yet, the same thing happens - the app will not allow me to sign in. It says "unknown error. Please try again". If you do business on LinkedIn and use this app for convenience, while traveling, etc, I would be cautious and have a good back up plan in place. The app has become unreliable and unstable. I wish they could resolve this issue.

LinkedIn makes working with your settings very difficult. The app is not intuitive at all. This app is almost as bad as the desktop version. I also noticed that the app and desktop versions don't sync up. My profile picture and experiences are different on the app and desktop versions. Very disorganized and not clean.

There's no requirement for employers to be accurate so you get TONS of "entry level" roles with 8+ years experience required, or jobs that are "remote" then clearly not fully remote when you read into it even though there's a hybrid flag. No requirement for honesty or accuracy, no way to report; linkedin standards and quality are very low and make job searching a waste of time and energy. Last straw was removing the filter for when a job was posted (eg last 24hrs) so I recommend on indeed now!

Almost all the jobs marked with the "entry-level" tag are not actually entry-level. Most of these listings say they require anywhere from 3-10 years of professional experience, and there's no feature which screens them for false information or any way to report them. I have to scroll through dozens until I find one that doesn't require prior professional experience, and it's a huge waste of time.

Update: lots of development going on, but it's ridiculous to see 2 entirely different feeds depending on the device I'm using (laptop vs. phone). Why wouldn't they be designed to show the same content? I've got a new phone, so the app mostly works, but it's nothing special. If you have no other social media, and you know how to turn the notifications off, this app might be of use to you.
