I am not one to write reviews but after downloading this for curiosity sake I spent the next 2hrs communicating with the developer. While he is a nice enough guy this app is so flawed it needs to be removed from the app store.
1. It forces you to promote the app on your Linkedin feed before showing you anything. The developer called this “a bug” that would be updated soon.
2. The algorithm is bogus. I added 15 random skills and they all were valued at ~$102k:
- Architect 102k
- Drawing 102k
- Investment banking 102k
- Telephone skills 102k
- Interestingly enough photoshop skills have increased in value $45k in the last 10 days, to 106k. The developer claims this is because somebody likely input an hourly wage instead of annual.
There is nothing behind this “algorithm”. Its just take the average of all users reported salaries as the baseline for each skill and adds some bogus boost factor to certain skills.
3. I wouldn’t have minded the prior issues until i realized the developer took a 100% data archive of my entire LinkedIn history. This isnt some vanilla single sign on that requests some basic profile data like FB. I have a copy of the zip file the developer accessed from LinkedIn and it includes:
- all your contacts, titles, emails, telephones
- all ads u have ever clicked on LinkedIn
- your entire search history on LinkedIn
- all posts you have liked on LinkedIn
- all posts you have shared
- your phone numbers
- your login history
- and get this, your entire LinkedIn Inbox history!!!!!!
This app needs to be shut down immediately.
