Ratings and reviews

Most of the messages and notifications I get are completely irrelevant to me. I've tried to adjust things by editing my profile and such, but there doesn't seem to be any sort of algorithm or targeted recommendations. The job board and search functionality is unsophisticated and frequently advertises jobs that were filled months or years ago.

You can't set parameters for distance from a particular location in your filters. On the website I could go within 5 miles, 15 Mile, 20 miles Etc. It is extremely bothersome that I cannot do this on the app, this is a very small implementation and should be completed immediately. I have to scroll through a thousand jobs instead of a hundred due to this. Huge waste of time.

If you favorite a job, you'll never see it / find it again until it's about to expire. You would think that'd be one of the easiest things to find. The jobs recommended rarely have anything to do with my interests, education, or location. The emails I get with new/expiring jobs link to my browser and not to the app. The last two emails I've recieved, I've searched for the job and the app can't find it. Now, I can't log in. It only wants a temp passcode that it won't send, not my password?
