Absolutely Dire service
Have been locked out of my account now for ages and no response to support tickets raised. WOULD NOT recommend! Also reported to ICO for data breach!
2023-07-21
Awful UX
App is designed in such an awful way and some things are so intuitive that it’s sad. Id you want to verify your work email, you can’t do it from your email settings or Verifications settings, but you need ti be very slecific and go through View Page - My Company etc. in order to do it - plus it doesn’t work always!
2023-07-19
Two-factor SMS doesn’t work
“This file could not be downloaded “
“File downloads are not supported”
Deleted the app.

Review
Seems mainly honest
2023-07-17
Logged out twice now in the last few days
Keep having to re-login.
2023-07-16
Constantly logged out
Latest version constantly logs me out of my account. Awful.
2023-07-15
Errr what is going on
Everyone I open the app on my phone get prompted to log on. Then an email to register my device. The same device I’ve used for years!
What’s going on?
2023-07-15
side panel makes app crash on new iphone lol
bad
2023-07-15
New update
Glitch and laggy while scrolling!
2023-07-08
Bad user experience
You suddenly log me out of the app and all the useless codes you send for me to log back in don’t work. I don’t understand what you guys are trying to text but please give me my account back. I have messaged your team and still not gotten a response from you.
2023-07-06
Messaging is broken
Why does it feel like messaging is happening through treacle?
2023-07-06
Not good since last update
No longer tells you about new comments or posts, no longer tells you about opportunities with employment, or profile views, no notifications at all. All since the last update. Making it really difficult to connect with potential recruiters.
2023-07-03
Garbage website to force app usage
The mobile web experience is neglected to the point of dysfunction just to force you to use the app.
No matter what the app offers, it shows a base disrespect to users.
2023-07-02
It has its issues
LinkedIn works okay but I can no longer post as one of my organisations on the app as the keyboard is obscuring the choice of who you are posting as. It is very very frustrating! Please fix it! Thanks
2023-06-30
LinkedIn CN
Is there a way to open and use the ‘real’ LinkedIn in China? I am so struggling with finding the correct LinkedIn website
2023-06-30
Worst customer support
Basically instagram, every time I use my account it gets restricted literally 2 accounts have been lost because of this stupid and fun fact is that I haven’t even made any connections on one of it, didn’t post anything just made an account added my details and boom they need verification, did that and still there’s not revert for now over a week. Stupid clone of instagram!
All fake job adds literally, girls posting pics like Instagram there’s hardly anything professional here! And oh god the awful customer service!
Don’t download this guys if your looking for job use indeed or something else but not this!
2023-06-27
Notifications not working
LinkedIn is great. However notifications have stopped showing and updating.
Why is this?
Can we get it fixed please
2023-06-25
Notification pip is permanent
I’ve deleted all my notifications, but it keeps telling me I have (1) in the little pip label inside the app. It’s distracting, as I keep thinking someone’s said something or reacted or something..
2023-06-24
Premium
Wasting nearly an hour trying to cancel my premium and just keeps sending me round in circles. Absolute joke liked this platform until this, just desperate to keep your money
2023-06-22
algorithm doesn’t have a clue
Whatever algorithm this company uses I’d doesn’t have a clue on my interests or posts it wants to shove in my face so I get quickly disinterested and log off. Don’t be like Facebook it’s so last year now
2023-06-21
Full of spam bitcoin adverts
Continuously shown fake adverts, the most common is a fake daily mirror newspaper front page, with a story about how Elon musk has made an investment platform available to the public. Reported on numerous occasions yet I see it every day from different paid sponsors. Response from LinkedIn is to show me to how to report this even though I’ve done it for a year+. Summary - they don’t care. I’ve deleted my account.
2023-06-19
Highly Disappointed
I’ve had nothing but issues sharing My Company Tab posts from my employer after the most recent update.
2023-06-17
Account disabled
Linkedin has no customer support I have been locked out know for a week and all you get is automated response
A contact number or email would help
2023-06-16
Cannot use it
I can’t even open the app since last night. Just loading again and again.
2023-06-06
Advertising board
This app will harass you with the same financial scam content that you will not be able to block it
2023-06-06
Useless
Been a member of LinkedIn for years now all of a sudden am unable to log in through the app. Go round and round in the circle of hell. Nothing seems to work and have just given up. Totally useless and not worth the effort any more.
2023-06-02
LinkedIn is a great source to meet professionals in football I highly recommend
LinkedIn is a great source to meet professionals in foot ball.
2023-05-30
Too many updates
I am getting fed up with the amount of updates for this app. Is once a month not enough? You are slowing my Internet.
2023-05-30
Could be so much better
Yet again, I have missed the deadline for applications for a position. Some might say this is my fault, but I don’t think it is, as LinkedIn chooses when I see any given post.
Yes, I could use a browser to sort my feed into chronological order, but why have an app if you have to use a browser anyway?
It’s a simple fix, allow the user to decide what order posts are displayed, you can still push your advertising posts, but stop hiding the reason we are using your service.
I will be removing the app, at least during this time when seeing a job advert on time is important. Thanks LinkedIn!
2023-05-30
App doesn’t work using 4G
Lately the app on both of my iPhones (personal and work) never works using 4G. It only works if I’m connected to wifi. Why?!
2023-05-25
Nope!
Whatever you’ve recently done to the app has broken it.
It keeps crashing, will not let me in at all - opens and closes straight away :(
2023-05-25
Crashing since latest update
App doesn’t stay open more than a few seconds before it closes itself down.
2023-05-25
Crashes like crazy!
Don’t know what they did to the last update, but on my iPhone 14 Pro Max it’s now crashing as soon as I start it, start scrolling the feed or go through the app’s tabs! Leave it to Microsoft to destroy everything they touch!
2023-05-25
Broke login with last update
The login is broken since the last update and have to log in every time. Do you even test it?
2023-05-24
App is not letting me in
App is not working, it keeps asking to sign in and verify and not letting me sign in.
Updated the app, still the same problem!
2023-05-24
Feed by date
I love the app mostly but the inability to sort my feed by date is driving me nuts. I see stuff from days and weeks ago repeatedly rather than current activity. I much prefer the online desktop version but am not always able to access it when mobile. Please correct this and give me opportunity to look at my feed the way I want to!
2023-05-24
Slow and clunky
Used to be a good app but with all the new updates it has become very slow, disappointing really as this doesn’t make me want to upgrade to their premium product.
2023-05-21
This upgrade is technically a downgrade
I should have listened to the critical responses because after installing the latest upgrade the translation part of the app doesn’t work anymore. I use translation a lot in my field so I won’t be recommending this app to anyone. Like other users I’m going to remove this app from my phone and use my laptop version instead.
My message to LinkedIn is, “why don’t you test these properly before releasing them to your trusting members?”
2023-05-21
App hangs on iPhone
The app hangs and crashes on iPhone 12 Pro
2023-05-21
Create a page
I am unable to create a business page and although I have followed the instructions it constantly shows error.
2023-05-19
Retired Solicitor
I have rejoined Linkedin as I still appear as if I’m still practising - which I’m not. However I no longer have my old works telephone or works e mail address which is why I have rejoined to alert everyone I am no longer taking instructions.
2023-05-17
Captcha is not working
Captcha is broken - doesn’t allow to go through
2023-05-16
iOS app post translations no longer working
Never a problem before, waited for next app update before posting this but unfortunately issue is still there… 🤔
2023-05-11
Bad for messaging
App is generally decent, but if I try messaging it just falls apart. Way too resource intensive and slow.
2023-05-09
Messaging UI problem
Messaging UI doesn’t work on my iPhone 8. Text input is way below the screen
2023-05-08
Doesn’t even scroll properly
I’m reviewing the app, not the service.
This app is super bloated and gobbles up heaps of storage and memory. Not sure why it’s so unresponsive, especially when it comes to basic things like scrolling. I don’t see why they can’t keep things light and simple enough so that it’s a snappy and responsive app, or in other words, a better experience for the user.
2023-05-03
Repetition of posts! Algorithm all wrong!
This app is getting worse! I log in and I can see the same posts appearing for days on end! Even scrolling the feed, I get repetition of the same posts. You must update the app to allow to sort by ‘most recent’ like you can on the desktop version as Top Stories is not refreshing correctly at all!
2023-05-01
Uninstalled in an hour
Within an hour of browsing it occupied with 500MB of storage. Uninstalling, better can survive with computer browser version.
2023-04-27
Locked account
I used it for 20 mins before being locked out and having to upload passport or drivers license. Hadn’t even got to working out how to use the app before I was locked out. Really great first user experience!
2023-03-15
LinkedIn rules your career
LinkedIn is getting a way too powerful player thanks to the network effect.
This puts their users in an unbalanced position where they don’t have much power left.
For example, Linkedin won’t allow you to create multiple personae. And they won’t let you connect to their app if you use a VPN. And they will ask you for your ID if they decide to do so and lock you out of the service until you comply to their rules.
Maybe you don’t mind today as you get benefits from it. But think about it’s just the beginning. Tomorrow will be worst once you will have no more choice than being listed there.
2022-12-11
Not all functionalities available and crashes when trying to invite people to follow a page
Just tried to invite people to follow our company page but when clicking on invite the app just closes and invites aren’t sent out. Tried it three times and it happened each time.
Also there doesn’t seem to be a way to repost using the company profile and not the personal profile. So not a full replacement for the browser version.

Good app, frustrating notifications
On the whole, this an excellent and well designed app.
The notifications however are a nightmare, not only do you receive dozens of notifications per day, it is complicated to alter which notifications you don’t want to receive as push notifications - to the point where I have turned all notifications off and instead periodically check the app. An option to toggle off all notifications except connections an messages quickly would be really appreciated.
2022-07-19
Posts should be in chronological order!
Great app but it doesn’t make sense that posts don’t appear on the feed according the date they were posted. I’m not sure what the algorithm is - it might be that the posts that are most popular appear higher up the feed - which makes sense for an app like Instagram but not for LinkedIn which most people primarily use for job searches. I often have a job post at the top of my main feed which was posted 3 weeks ago, whilst I have to scroll to actively search for the ones posted today. A job posted that long ago is useless for freelancers as it is usually filled within a couple of days. This makes it very difficult to find jobs as a freelancer on LinkedIn. Please update and change this!
(Note - when I mention job posts, I mean text posts on the main feed where freelance jobs are usually mentioned. Not the ‘jobs’ section of the app where mainly permanent job applications are posted.)
2022-07-04
Really disappointed and frustrated
Really disappointing that LinkedIn has stopped supporting iOS before 13.0. Like many people have said my iPad is fine just a bit old and I don’t need the latest tech especially when reuse lengthen use and recycle is key in the attempts be more sustainable. I also don’t have the funds for a newer iPad.
As a newer job seeker linked in is pushing the “ let recruiters know you are open to work” feature, the only snag being you need the app to do that.
So LinkedIn instead of creating an even platform for all you are creating more divide and inequality. Am sure that’s not your intention and if you can fix this there will be many more happy users.
2022-06-22
Where has the ‘Search Appearances’ analysis on my profile gone?
I’m a premium user of LinkedIn as I like the perks of having features that regular subscribers don’t. One of these features is the weekly update to ‘Search appearances’, which shows which companies the people who’ve seen me in a search result work for.
I find this very interesting, but since the last app update it no longer appears in the ‘Analytics’ section on my profile. I think it’s pretty poor practice to take away a piece of premium functionality that I’m paying for, hence the reduced star rating.
Please look into this and bring this functionality back, LinkedIn folks.
2022-06-03
LinkedIn, not professional a fee grabbing platform.
As a 30 year truly global travelling Investment Banker, I know and appreciate honesty and dedication. I have front on faced professional behaviours and teamwork. In my opinion LinkedIn is in the business of selling professional memberships deals only. With a platform closed to close scrutiny, they operate a zero tolerance to criticism. They support filthy favouritism for big fee payers. Undeserving awards abound to help support faked job advertising and personal self serving tweeters. A horrible platform that needs to be shut down and stop the serial scalping of honest job seekers. An abhorrent HR unskilled collection of liars. Faked job adverts, faked profiles and false claims. An HR exercise in time wasting. Easy Apply is s con, designed and promoted yo score new members.
2022-05-05
Useless update.....
So linked in Upgrade their system without any thought for existing users. It must be Linked ins responsibility to make any upgrade compatible with existing software. What makes it worse is that it works fine on my phone but not on my iPad. Both using same level software. As one of the original members I feel that your focus has moved from members interests to money making and you now need to get back to the original focus of bringing professionals together. You have lost this. Half the time I find adverts and promotions of stuff I do not need rather than the forums we used to have.
2022-01-30
Not possible to see ‘most recent’ at top
I just don’t understand why the mobile app would only show ‘top results’ at the top, rather than ‘most recent’ posts. Does anyone have interest in repeatedly seeing what someone posted weeks ago, rather than what is current? The job search algorithm needs some work as well. It doesn’t distinguish between jobs in different academic disciplines very well, so it’s hard to find ones that are relevant. Better for professional discussion than other social media, though, as not (yet) overwhelmed with bots and trolls. Although moderation could still be better.
2021-09-05
Lack of compatibility with older iOS
Disappointed that the decision has been made to effectively brick the app on anything earlier than iOS13. My iPad doesn’t update higher than 12.x but is perfectly functional. I can see the latest timeline has loaded in the background. I also understand the push to stop supporting old tech, I work in the industry and have done for 20+ years. I live the pain of legacy versions every day. However, you could take the route of retaining access via the app with the warning that as you develop some features will either stop working or be unstable. Most users would accept this, it’s not a life critical app, it’s effectively social media. The experience on your mobile app through the browser is less intuitive, less friendly and actually just painful. Perhaps you could improve that UX instead if you’re pushing people down that route. You should do that before removing access to the good UX.
In an age of focus on sustainability and discouraging throw away culture it is perhaps time to reappraise abandoning users because they are not on the latest kit. Those people may be on older kit for the right reasons. If it isn’t broken why would I consign it to the bin?
2021-09-02
The app is not supported?
I’m not able to use the app anymore, as it’s not supported for some reason? Instead it takes me to the website, where I have to login each time. Extremely annoying!
Why discriminate users who don’t want to waste money on the newest phone just because of apps if my current phone is working perfectly fine! Why don’t you support all versions?
It says it needs iOS 13 or more, I don’t have it! My phone is in excellent condition and is working perfectly, why are you pushing me to buy another one?
Don’t discriminate users!
2021-08-26
Unusable
The app is completely unusable in the evening due to the lack of dark mode. If you are using Linkedin then the chances are you work a day job and in front of screens for a large portion of your day. Why would you then torture yourself at night by exposing yourself to this draconian looking app.
For a company worth 20bn+, I can’t understand why the developers are so far behind on the implementation of a feature that has become a staple for all mobile apps. I’m writing this review in dark mode. I read news in dark mode, I respond to texts in dark mode, I even have an app on my phone created by a solo dev and that has dark mode. While in thisrhythm of flicking through these apps, tell me WHY would i subject myself to the blinding torture of using the Linkedin app? Because I can’t find a reason
It makes me think that Linkedin will be left behind in many other areas of technology in the coming years.
2021-04-19
New to LinkedIn
I’m new to LinkedIn and in the whole don’t mind the app. There are a couple of things that I find frustrating; the newsfeed is all over the place, I see things from 2 months ago before seeing something from 2 days ago or today; I lose posts all the time when I know they are there; I cringe at the automatic post for work anniversary...I’d prefer to post my own content please. If you could solve these, I’d happily increase the rating. Thank you.
2021-02-03
App crashing when trying to open article
I keep trying to open this article on LinkedIn on Spotify’s LinkedIn about Black History Month and the app keeps on crashing. Seems a rather weird coincidence, isn’t it? All the other posts work just fine, but this one seems to make the app crash. All the annoying ads you keep shoving in my face work just fine, and this inportant article about Black Culture and resilience can’t be opened because this app ‘crashes’. You should be ashamed of yourselves. On top of that, there’s no tech support email address anywhere, so shockingly no one will be able to help this. Will uninstall. Can’t use an app that does not support Black Culture and Black History Month. And don’t ‘thank me for my feedback and ask me to contact you through the link’. I opened the link. That’s not tech support.

New UI layout has no consideration for people with visual disabilities
Paid for a premium account which now I cannot use because the UI is very bright. I am hypersensitive to light and I can’t use it. Want my money back please.
Thanks for your response. I am rather dissatisfied and disappointed that you have ignored the core issue: which is essentially lack of consideration in the UI layout for people with visual disabilities. People with disabilities- you ignored those when redesigning the UI. You have not considered nor did you had in mind the user experience. At the end of the day is not about the money it is about wanting to use the product but not being able to because the extreme brightness harms me and I have no option to tune it down from the app or from the webpage.
2020-09-21
Was better....
I preferred it before the update to the job search. It used to tell me if any new jobs had been added to my top ten searches so I could look more quickly. This was really useful because there are so many jobs. Now I can only see 3 searches and I have no idea if there’s anything worth looking at.
Also, I wish there was a way of removing job suggestions that are of no interest to me. Possibly with the option of saying why. Some sound great but are based too far away. One thumbs up or down thing isn’t enough when you want to be specific.
2020-07-18
Unprofessional on accessibility
LinkedIn is good. I have always found the app has a second rate user experience. Even worse - being visually impaired I sometimes use text to speech - parts of this app are unusable with VoiceOver in iOS. Posts cannot be read once any notification is followed - I.e. outside of the newsfeed - and only “actions available” is announced. The bar containing the interaction button a (like, comment, share) is treated as one object; double tapping it activates the comment function, but what if I want to like or share?? LinkedIn, you need to get your house (including accessibility testing) in order please. I really hope you’ll read, respond and reply to this. I would appreciate knowing what you are going to do.
2020-06-08
Terrible customer support
I have created an account, and I updated my basic info. I left the app for a few days and when I tried to log in I received an information that my account was temporarily restricted, for God know what reason. I haven’t received any email regarding this.
Now, I can’t contact anyone via phone, because Linkedin doesn’t offer this kind of service. Instead there’s a forum, which is useless. They say that you can use ‘contacts us’ link at the bottom of the page. But it still asks you to log in. My account is blocked, I can’t do that!
The support service is poor, and hard to find.

My linkedin Profile has disappeared without trace
My personal linkedin account which i have had for over 10 years, through different roles and sectors in which i had built a large network, has now completely disappeared. No records come up when i search and no log-in combinations or recovery solutions have helped. I had not used the account for 18 months+ as i was not in need of it at the time, but if i had been warned that the account was going to be deleted or removed i would have acted to stop that happening. I have tried to get in touch with linkedin, but apart from a telephone number in the U.S. there is other way to contact them directly about this. Absolutely livid

The unsafe fact about LinkedIn
LinkedIn is not safe to use, I made an account on here for jobs- however when I didn’t find any jobs I deleted my account, my profile picture has been uploaded to google search without my permission. After I deleted my account, my profile picture is still on google.
I never realised- like Twitter, Facebook pages and things like that- that LinkedIn is just as public, I really thought it had my safety things and setting surrounding the app.
I shan’t be using this app again, it’s too public and unsafe to use. It’s now the waiting game for me- to see if my profile picture gets taken down from google, I really hope this app becomes more safe for people in future.
Maybe in future, don’t put people’s personal details online- that they’ve used to set up their account. Anything can happen, like for example identity theft- I really hope that someone doesn’t save my photo online, and scam people pretending to be me because of you.

Missing features
Not having an option to remove connection or unfollow while scrolling through the feed is annoying. People who keeps posting junk or irrelevant content that completely hiding the industry news, when I try to remove connection with such people I don’t have an option to remove or unfollow them right from the feed it forces me to go their profile page and remove connection. Also the improve feed is not effective, I don’t want my feed to filled only with the recruiters post how advertise as if like they are looking to buy / commodities. I want to use LinkedIn to stay connected with the industry in ways that let me easily grasp what is happening in the industry. Should have different section for recruiters feed!!

Why is LinkedIn App is not working on any ios version above 10 and on any iPad
I have been updating regularly my ios on my iPad and did the same with the App accordingly. Apple is blocking further update on some ofits device ( probably to force you to buy a more recent iPad) so the Linked App can't be upgraded further.
My iPad is running under ios 10.3.4 version but apparently linked App in is not supporting this version anymore and i can't use any longer the app which is very disappointing in deed.
Why can't you support it?? Something that use to be great the LinkedIn App now turns really bad because of a stupid update!! Why?? Surely Linked in best interest is to increase its number of active users not to drop them because of technical updates. I am sure that the executives at Linked In and Microsoft should be able to understand that!!! Could you please listen to your users and do what is required to support us what ever version or update we are on!..

Great app - destroyed by updates! 😡
I have an old iPad. It works. I am happy to be off the escalator of "Must have the newest tech". About five updates ago the update said it wasn't compatible with my iPad - but I could still use the old version. The next few updates arrived with a notification box that said "Update now" or "Later" so I could continue using the app. The latest update arrived with a single option "Update now" and I can no longer use the app. So, dear developers, goodbye!! I guess it behooves me not to be associated with an app that is so technologically inept and exclusive to new tech owners! 😥To add to my woes LinkedIn did contact me (good!) but didn't really listen (bad) and then closed my ticket without my agreement - they sent me a message "We are closing this ticket unless you click this link 😳 but when I clicked it I got "Sorry, this ticket is closed" (worse) and the app still won't update or work on my iPad!

Unwelcome change
I have enjoyed LinkedIn for many years and although I haven't been able to update your App on my IOS 10.3 iPad for sometime I was still able to use it until now. You are having a pop up saying to update to enjoy your latest features but you can't cancel it, you only have the option to update so I am locked in a cycle you need to update but I can't update! The app is displaying in the background but I can't use it. A simple x on the box would be helpful to get out of the cycle.

Scammers!
I was almost scammed by a gentleman called Solomon Onyango.. He claims to be a lawyer based in Kenya looking for investors. He is probably using the same tactic to scam other people. I realised he’s a scammer after short discussion where he was rushing me to get him investments but I realised there’s no coherence in his story and doesn’t seem to quite know much about the industry. He also changes his job title every other day on LinkedIn I guess to stay in hiding. I’ve blocked him, and reported him as spam.

Merging accounts
So when I moved job a few years ago, I lost access (I thought) to my original account and so set up another. Now I have regained access to my old account I wish to merge the two accounts. Unfortunately, this has so far taken more than two weeks, with assistance from LinkedIn only to have access to my old account properly disabled (by LinkedIn) and without access to my old connections. Still hoping to get this resolved but...it shouldn’t be this difficult. I may change the 3* rating friending in whether this is resolved successfully!

Just want to use the mobile site...
It is so annoying that every time I want to use the mobile site, i first have to get redirected here...
The app serves no useful purpose from a user perspective - it has exactly the same features as the mobile site. It’s just a tool to hoover up more data (e.g. by surreptitiously uploading your phone contacts to the site) and for spamming you with notifications. Spyware, voluntarily installed - with all the usual disadvantages that come with infection - reduced battery life, increased data use, lost memory space...
Still not actually using the app - will continue with the annoyance of redirect and back button

Job search section needs improving
There used to be a separate job search app, which was great, but this has been retired. Job searches on the LI app are now a nightmare. I set up a filter with my criteria and it keeps deleting itself so I have to reset it every time. It used to work before but since a few days ago this keeps happening. Even when it worked, it would not save my filter search to “most recent”. I don’t care about most relevant, as someone looking for work, I am constantly searching so need to see the latest!! Please do something about it, it’s really frustrating.
Still no progress. It’s actually getting worse and worse. Won’t let me select a city if I filter by country. It’s just so user-unfriendly 🤦🏼♀️

Pay attention to the reviews here!
LinkedIn is a decent professional sharing platform that I have been using for years. But it’s highly frustrating when the developers go around making all kinds of updates but ignore the the fundamental issues that users are asking them to fix! Just look at the reviews here - something definitely wrong when you have so many users complaining about the notifications! Too many and they keep re-appearing even after you have cleared them multiple times. Only solution seems to be to unfollow the contact - which defeats the whole purpose of being on LinkedIn!! Get your act together and fix this problem- pay attention to the users!

The app itself is garbage
The app itself is a rather impressive spire of garbage, from its notification settings maze to its secret privacy conditions, and the service forces you to connect to 30 people and write a bio and fill in your education every tab you flee to, all while piling in an endless stream of sewage from the web and through their pay gates, into your inbox, as all you can hear is “we’re selling you as a product, you, you dear user, we can make so much money by pushing these entirely irrelevant articles down your throat that it’s hilarious - and we’re still going to push for you to pay us in the form of a premium service run on the insecurity of eager-to-be-hired starting users!” While some people might enjoy this, I recommend they go back to Instagram, this is a site that was - somewhere along the lines - intended to get us jobs and expand our connections.
To sum up,
this application and the service it provides are comparable to that of a dysfunctional table leg. The minimal amount of effort put into development and cartoon-style silhouette left behind in place of the user consideration make it a laughable attempt at, well, anything.
Welcome to LinkedIn - ew, what’s that on your feed?
2019-05-04
Good but some suggestions for improvement
- in the same way you can save a job for later, it would be good if you could hide jobs from the list view that are not relevant or a way to mark them as ‘not suitable’ once viewed.
- could you add a way to tailor what you get notified about? I get so many notifications daily it’s just spammy with no way to tailor what I want to hear about (I don’t care about business contacts’ birthdays or how many searches I appeared in this week)
2019-04-28
Okay app - false notifications?
App is okay, but there have been multiple times when the app says I have a notification and I log in the app just to see there is no new notification at all. The app would be much better if I don’t get these false notifications.
Edited: we keep receiving the same response that our reviews get fed back to the product team, but nothing has changed. How long does it take for LinkedIn to fix a bug like that? Is that a bug at all? It’s unacceptable that I have seen people complaining about the same problem for months and years and nothing has been done about it. Sorry, down to 1 star for me.

App crashes when I want to read my messages
Linked In, actually is the best app among other social networking apps, because off its focus on professions and professionally.
But after updating to last version in iOS platform, when I want to read my messages, app crashes that till now I couldn’t read my very important messages and unfortunately I don’t have any access to content of my messages in my email or etc.😡
I don’t know the reason of this huge volume of updates without any improving in speed, reliability and stability of the App.

LinkedIn Good, LinkedIn app infuriating
Big fan of LinkedIn however the app is maddening!
I end up with around 15 notifications a day, as it sends me Bobs birthday, then Tina’s birthday, then Terrys service anniversary, then someone I’m connected to shared a story about something completely unrelated to anything in my profile, then Arthur’s birthday, then I get a notification to check my news feed despite their being nothing new. Daily see who you know notifications, someone viewed your profile (click through and it’s still shows the last person to look at your profile a week ago).
Afraid I’m having to delete the app until it’s be rewritten to package things together neatly (everyone birthday together, all service anniversaries/promotions together etc), and sorts out notification to refresh sync.

Generally a very useful app!
I like LinkedIn and make regular use of it. The connections feature and messaging feature are very useful ways of maintaining contact with colleagues and partners.
I'm dropping my review down to 3 stars at the moment as the app is constantly notifying me there's a connection request or notice. When I check there's either nothing or a "do I know" this person connection opportunity. I wouldn't mind but it keeps asking me about the same person!! I've clicked close, dismiss etc over 20 times already. Very annoying!

Account Restricted
My account was restricted this week for no reason. LinkedIn asks for a copy of either my passport or driving licence to verify identity! Absolutely no chance! I wasn’t asked for this when signing up so why now? There are no numbers or email addresses to contact for the uk. Customers services is non-existent!
I’ve deleted the app now, no point having it anymore. I had built up 186 connections and gained work from them. LinkedIn do not send any information regarding why the account is restricted. And I’m definitely not sending in ID as they’ve been hacked before and that is the last thing that I want is someone stealing my ID!
Can’t give 0 marks, unfortunately!

Its just OK which is NOT Enough
The LinkedIn app has several limitations which seem unacceptable as one of the top social networks in the world.
To begin, you cannot fully edit your own profile in the app. I’ve tried and there are either error messages that populate or entire sections unavailable for editing.
Secondly, when finding content on your connections profiles which you would like to share, the “share” feature does not work the same. It displays on your feed as “Shared on LinkedIn” instead of the thumbnail of the content from connection that ought to display.
Thirdly, the UI looks pretty bad and not designed responsively. On iPad, there is tons of dead white space along both the right and left sides. Why?
I guess I expect that the app version of LinkedIn should be probably BETTER than the web since we live in an age where most people are on the move and don’t have a computer screen in front of them.

iPhone X issue or app issue?
For the last month or 2 now I have missed out on opportunities and new business due to not being notified of any contact.
When I first realised I double checked every possible setting in the app and in all setting options on my iPhone X handset - everything was on as usual. Put it down to the recent GDPR regs and thought nothing more of it.
Weeks later I’m still not receiving a single notification, even though there has been plenty of activity on my account in the same period of time!
Frustrated beyond belief at the prospect of losing any further opportunities - please advise what I should do to rectify - thank you

Had become a nuisance app
Why have you designed the app to generate pointless notifications? I get a red dot notification, and when I go to the Notifications tab, I’m met with a message telling me I don’t have any notifications. It also tells me to complete my profile, but after navigating to my profile it is not made clear what you think is missing. So I leave the app - only for you to create a new notification. And so the cycle continues.
Unless you remove this ridiculous stream of boy-who-cried-wolf notifications, I’ll have to remove your app.
Update: Thanks for the response but it does not address the problem. There is no specific notification to mute. A notification is generated by the app but does not correspond to any real notification. I have pretty much all notifications turned off except for activity involving me. I thought this was clear in my original text.
Update 2: I’ve not made any further changes but the issue of being ‘notified of nothing’ has gone away since the latest run of updates. They must have either knowingly or unknowingly fixed it.

Trouble finding people to connect with!
I love the concept of LinkedIn however as a young person very new to the job market I find it difficult to find people I actually know or have worked with, to connect with.
What I think would be a good idea, would be to be able to connect Facebook or another social media with LinkedIn, as many of us have our work colleagues, people we went to school or University, added on Facebook and this would make it so much easier to make connections, especially when just starting out using the app!
2018-02-25
Updates......
...lots of updates, which seems to be the way of things of late. Why make something nice that works and just leave it alone when you can ‘update’ it.
Since a recent ‘update’ I get a persistent notification badge, only to open the app and find it tells me I have no notifications. Later on the badge will be back and so on...
There are also so many notification options. Surely I don’t needs all of them?? I’m switching some off but it’s little unclear as to the usefulness of some of them. This could be simplified.

Weird bug
I’ve been using this app for a really long time and have never experienced any trouble. However, just today the app for some reason could not update itself and then my phone told me that I had to delete and reinstall the app from AppStore. New update’s been taking ages and after some time I received a notification saying “this app was not installed from the AppStore and must be installed manually”, which was certainly weird, as if where could I get it from if not from AppStore :) Other than that it’s a great app and would be great if you could look into this issue so that it doesn’t happen to anyone else.

Frustrating on iPad
Ok so LinkedIn has become a default for all of us when networking professionally but if I can't update it on the move (which I am A LOT and my iPad is my go to device) then it's near useless.
I work in a project oriented way and this is one of the sections I can simply do nothing with on ios. Well, it's even worse than that. It seems like I can go into accomplishments/ projects/ add projects but then there is no save button! It is impossible to save! How ridiculous.
I have checked recent software updates, de nada.
Back to clunking along via a browser?
C'mon guys, sort it out.

LinkedIn is the best professional app
I have been a member of LinkedIn for about a year and I have to say truthfully it is the best professional career app I have ever used. It is even better and easier to use than a lot of employment websites I have used. It is simple to use but has lots of layers to it to help you find your destined career. Had it not been for LinkedIn I would not have realised my full potential and for that alone I am sincerely grateful for the LinkedIn app and the developers for creating such a great app for professional job seekers, even if you are just looking for a full time job it is an essential tool, two thumbs up plus a head nod from me. Thank you LinkedIn for being everything I need in an app.

Too many updates without any justification
The app itself works great and I use it frequently - although I’m not a fan of the Random contacts from ‘sponsored’ partners ... but I guess LI do need to generate revenue.
Removal of stars is because
I’m all for CI/CD - but having to update an app every single week with little change is annoying.
Either revert to only updating when a real change is made (and actually share the comments / details for the commit) or expect to see people like me uninstalling the app. I’m tired of having 20 apps to update each day - where the app developer did not have the decency to even post the actual reason for the update!
2017-10-25
Useful app. Too many notifications
I’ve been using LinkedIn for a few years now, and find it useful. However, over the past few months, the sheer number of notifications has steadily increased, to the point where I can no longer discern when something really does require my attention.
After reading reviews from other users this morning, I’ve now gone in and changed the settings to reduce the number, so will revisit this review in a few days. I feel it would be useful for LinkedIn to give the Settings feature greater visibility.

Great idea - poor execution
I’ve been using LinkedIn for 5 years plus now and believe it to be a great platform for networking and sharing relevant informations and promotions related to you industry.
However, accessing LinkedIn via anything but a desktop computer/laptop is so frustrating that it lets the platform down. This includes mobile web app versions, fluidity and responsiveness of the iPhone or iPad version and considering LinkedIn is built for business - company pages cannot be managed or updated via the app. This is shame because LinkedIn gets active posting when at conference but from my professional point of view - would avoid using it offside on trade shows!
