What goes wrong

Login and account24%
Worst ever app made cant even get my account back due to the sick captha thing….. and cant even make a new account …most labour puk app ever made
Crashes and bugs20%
After one minute of use, a “network offline” message appears and the app freezes.
Bans and moderation8%
Account banned for no reason
Missing feature8%
Useless app, it has only about 10% of the LinkedIn web: posts, follow and adds. The rest is not available in the app, totally useless for me.
Content quality5%
This app is useless in attempts of finding a job. All they do is post unrelated jobs that have nothing to do with what you're looking for.

Job search70%
When I try to view my applied for jobs I can’t get to it. I select job tracker but am given no options to switch to applied jobs and can’t even scroll on the page that is brought up which is saved...
Work10%
I wish you could hide all posts with certain topics or key words. After losing my baby all I see are posts about babies and maternity leave.I’ve deleted all other social media and about to delete...
Running a business5%
I cancelled my subscription due to predatory enforcement. They banned my account over my business name that's been active for a year with zero issues, while auto-closing support tickets without help.
