Email verification problems
I’ve downloaded the app and the sign up was easily until it got to the email verification part. I’ve opened the email and clicked on the provided link and it brought me back to the app which still told me to check my email to verify my account . I’ve resent the email multiple times only to get the same result. I can’t even use this app until my email is verified and it WILL NOT let me verify my email. Why?!

Have yet to setup my profile
Why does it force you to choose a degree earned and university that you attended? What about those whom never went to college and haven’t earned a degree? That forces them to halt using the app at that point because they can’t continue on any further.
Crashed repeatedly, 404 errors everywhere
At first it looks quite good. I was able to create a profile relatively quickly, and customize. Of course after making all the edits, it crashes and when I logged in again, all of my edits were gone back to square one. So I did it again and yet again, it crashed once more same result. Infuriating.
Also to note that it forces you to put in dates of your graduation which may lead to some age discrimination issues as well, for those of you who have been out of college a few years and making a career change.
So I went to look at jobs to see if it was even worth the trouble of trying to set my profile again, and simple answer no, don’t waste your time.
First there is no location service, so despite you putting in your location, it still will show you jobs across the country. I went on to my laptop to see if the full version was better but still the same, getting lots of 404 errors.
Next, it’s job category and titles are limiting, so if you have a few interests or career paths, you will be forced to scroll through hundreds of irrelevant jobs, which are also not relevant due to location too, yuck.
Final, it looks good, decent idea, but terrible functionality and connectivity issues bug this app making it unusable. Dreading to go logon to figure out how to erase my profile now.

Response from developer
Sheesh – we're so sorry we let you down 😭. First I want to thank you sincerely for really putting effort into using our app and website, despite the friction you experienced. It shows that you really believed in WayUp, and we fell short of your expectations, and I can empathize with how annoying that must have been. Since you've reviewed, we've made a ton of improvements, included but not limited to: a new search algorithm, major bug fixes to reduce the 404s you experienced, and the ability to edit your profiles inside the mobile app. Especially because you seem to have a great attention-to-detail, I'd love to have you reconsider using WayUp and learn more from your feedback. Honestly, it'd be amazing to hop on a call or just chat more over email as to how we can improve your experience further, now that we're doubling down on our mobile efforts. Feel free to shoot us an email at mobile.team@wayup.com to coordinate! Again, we're super sorry, but think you could give us another chance🤗?
Have never been able to log in successfully
I’ve tried creating an account by connecting to my Facebook, and I’m guessing it doesn’t work that way. Next I will create an account using my email address, but I can’t find where it says what the password requirements are.
Looks promising but needs a little tweaks
When entering your major, you need to select from the provided fields. New majors are created and some choices don’t capture the major as a whole. It would be good if we had the option to fill in the blank with a custom major instead of being forced to choose from what’s given to you and closest to what your major might be. Also on the homepage where the jobs are listed, it’s awkward to scroll to the bottom completely on older iPhone. The hot bar covers the bottom listing. Thanks!

No location service
The app is smooth, cute, and simplistic in all the right areas. But it recommends jobs that are out of area. So I went to go filter out locations and was surprised to see that there was to way to include a location. I live in Florida and they are given me jobs all over the country. Fix this and I will rate 5 stars and recommend to my friends.

Doesn't let me edit profile info
I tried to edit my profile info and the app just turned white. The app doesn't even let me see my own account only account settings. They really need to work on the app more because most of the time it's just unresponsive.
Couldn’t even try it
This app is way too glitchy. I tried to sign on with my FB account and it glitched. It wouldn’t approve my actual degree I had so i had to pick one that i don’t have. Also, when i tried to push the swipe button when it came to the alternate email page, it wouldn’t let me swipe the button. And finally, when i tried to choose a profile picture the screen went white for 3mins and i just couldn’t take it anymore. I deleted the app and the app update was up to date so there’s no excuse.

💔
This app feels like the UI designer did an amazing job but the developer... was not getting paid enough, maybe? Connecting with Facebook should not direct you to a link in 2018, they can directly communicate with the Facebook app through the Facebook API. Super easy to implement if you are good at using Google and have a little bit of developer skills.

Maybe a few more features
I like the appearance of the app itself, very nice layout. As a programmer this is a great example of a nice simple app that goes straight to the point. One suggestion however is to also add a window for messages, it would be nice to have messaging between employers via the app. Thank you
