Hard to use.

The app is quite frustrating to use most of the time. This is due to its inability to make it easy to use. It’s difficult for instance to use the location pin on the map when it gives you the option to set a radius of where you want the jobs to be. This doesn’t work and instead the app selects another location or it resets the location to where ever it was beforehand. The app also doesn’t bring up the job listing you may have just clicked on from an email that they’ve sent you, instead when you click on the link for the listing it reopens that app and that’s all. Overall the app is not that convenient to use as even when you search for specific jobs and use selective /keywords to find a job, the search engine will not bring up the specific jobs that correlate to what you may have searched instead brings up any job.
The app may be helpful in showing jobs but no so good in finding.

A viewer looking for a job seen advertised.

I have real issues with using this app which sounds great, but it wants to collect and use far too much information from my personal life and usage !
I can’t and won’t give permission for any app or person to take that much information from my phone/tablet/laptop/computer, it’s verging on unethical and I fail to see why any app would need access to my contacts, email’s, messages etc,etc,etc !
If there was a way to limit the amount of personal information taken I would gladly use this app, it sounds and looks good and seems to have good enough reviews, but I’m not prepared to let any app have access to all of my “personal” information !
If there is some way to controlling what information is taken please make it clearer !
As it is just now - it’s far too complicated, confusing and worrying for me to use.
I know I’m not the only one who has made these points, so if you can rectify the issues identified - then more people will use the app.
I do not give anyone permission to have the amount of access to my personal information that this app asks for.
I repeat;- I DO NOT GIVE PERMISSION FOR MY PERSONAL INFORMATION TO BE TAKEN OR USED BY THIS APP.
Please make it less complicated !

Hi, thank you for your feedback. Each time we asked you to access some personal information of yours, it was for a specific action you were taking on the app. And if you denied, we respect your choice and simply do not perform that action. For example, if you'd like to share the app with some contacts, we would ask you to access the contacts on your mobile phone for exactly that reason and we would not proceed if you forbid us. Accessing other details like your email address is a fundamental step that recruiters require when advertising jobs. We are aware that the more data we ask for, the lower will be the engagement from our users but at the same time this is a job search app and recruiters need to have the best possible idea of the candidates they are dealing with. We are happy to provide further details on any use of the data we kindly ask you to share and would appreciate it if you could contact us at info@sonicjobs.co.uk
