Ratings and reviews

There's seemingly no way to adjust the distance of jobs you get recommended despite the ability to list preferred locations on your profile so I always get notifs about onsite jobs on the opposite side of the country even though I don't plan on leaving the state. The amount of AI related job listings and constant recruiter messages/emails asking if you would be interested in training Handshake's AI is really obnoxious and it seems like there's no way to block or filter out these offers either.

i have been experiencing a possible bug witb this app for quite a while now. i cannot open messages in my inbox. it doesnt even register that im tapping on the message to open it. its literally this most important feature, and it doesnt work. the inbox loads messages fine and shows the preview, but no matter what i do i cannot open any messages, i click everywhere and nothing happens.

Searching by location is horrible. There's so many automated "recruiters" in your inbox talking about: hi [name], we thought you'd be the perfect fit for [job position that is NOT related to you AT ALL]". sometimes these bots mess up and leave the brackets there instead of your info. Any other job search app is better.
