Ratings and reviews

Missed a message offer from desired hire because the app was faulty and not loading new messages. No notifications about the messages either - very not reliable as a communication device, better use gmail... I wish it could at least notify of "no connection" or other loading issues if there were any than appearing just alright or empty screen with no sign of issue and not showing the supposed content/messages.

terrible. the location filters do absolutely nothing. 90% of the jobs it shows me are from other states. also i have no work experience, yet it still shows me openings for "lead" or "head" or "manager" jobs. 🙄 the website is at least somewhat better, but the app is useless.

My experience with this app is through two colleges, as both a student and as a staff member and in both situations I would sum this up as an entirely gimmick-based LinkedIn alternative. Most college administration's are partnering and pushing this app heavily, and other than marketing internship webinars, and a lot of advertising of unavailable jobs, I have yet to meet any student who has gotten anything meaningful from the app. The app partners with college career advisors, in a generic form.
