Ratings and reviews

I want so badly for this app to be good. The website isn't very good and neither is the app-within-an-app inside of Glassdoor. NOPE. The app really, really wants to send you notifications. Every time you comment, there is a pop-up about notifications with vague text. There is nearly no customizing the kinds of notifications you get either. It's very buggy. Constant crashes, freezes, "you don't have permission" when clicking a notification. Reporting functionality is nearly zero.

I accidentally clicked a fishbowl notification, it brought up the app, and I swiped it away immediately. Then I noticed some studio from a live event was streaming on my phone. I could figure out how to turn it off in the app, and couldn't find the live event player. Had to force stop the app. This was my first user experience with this app. It's super invasive and has a horrible user interface.

There are major differences in the performance of the Android and iOS apps. Grrrrr. On my Android, I keep getting a connection error. When I requested to join a bowl, I got an error. When I click on a link, it doesn't allow me to open in browser. The processing speed is slow to open comments on a post. When scrolling through the comments, the feed will jump to the top or bottom on it's own. I gave 3 stars because I can see the platform being very promising for networking. Please fix the bugs.
