LinkedIn: Network & Job Finder 12+

Love LinkedIn! But the app…

Update: LinkedIn heard my prayers and fixed my app. I no longer get kicked out when trying to send direct messages, and the app works generally faster. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to utilize this awesome app to its fullest potential again!

Let me start out by saying that LinkedIn has changed my life in so many positive ways. I found my new career through the app, and started down a journey of positive personal development when I rejoined the platform. Hence the four stars. I needed to take one star away because, at least in the app, it almost always crashes and boots me out when I try to send a Direct Message to someone. I end up needing to go in and retype the message 2-3 times before it will send without crashing and closing out. I know plenty of other people are experiencing the same problem, because they post about it. Please fix this issue, I love this platform for so many reasons, but this is frustrating! Thank you in advance for your attention and all that you do to make LinkedIn the wonderful place that it is! Update: my app has worked perfectly since the last update. No more getting booted out when sending DMs. Thank you LinkedIn!

Better as a creator

LinkedIn was okay until I became a creator. It takes courage to post but over time, like 3-6 months, it becomes easier. At that point it becomes a lot more fun and now I look forward to using LinkedIn and this app every day.

Not sure what to write? Use the 2 year, 2 day, or even 2 hour rule (credit Nicolas Cole). Just post what you would have benefited from had you known it 2 years ago, 2 days ago, or even 2 minutes ago!

Developers: thanks for your work on the app!! First request: wish the scheduled posts could be edited. Second request: wish commenting was just better organized for conversations. Like replying to a reply to a reply. Also wish that the best answers/comments filtered to the top. Would draw you in as a user to know that the first comments are the most valued by the community (when there are dozens of comments and you don’t want to sift through them all). Again thanks though for the great app!

BEWARE IF YOU USE SUBSCRIPTION!!!

So, long story short… I downloaded the app on my phone and was looking for jobs and all. I was at work and had my laptop with me and some downtime so I ironically open linked in to look for positions. I get a free promo thing for premium and I accept to try it out since it was a much longer than normal trial (almost 3 months it felt like). Now I check my subscriptions monthly in Apple Store and thought that since it was downloaded from AppStore and it was technically an in app purchase (the trial), that it would alert me of LinkedIns subscription. Time went by and I didn’t see any charges so I figured the subscription ended automatically. I forgot tho, the subscription was a lengthy one. LONG STORY SHORT: I ended up paying months of unknown $45 charges because the only way to know I had a paying/active subscription was from the website. The app didn’t notify me of any charges and you rarely look at LinkedIn anymore or on my computer especially. I feel the company knows that is a way to capitalize on people who aren’t as high tech or into the subscription based life as much. Really displeased with LinkedIn. I wanted to like the platform but i don’t know if I can consider using them again
