### 1/5 — Last update created a loop

*2026-02-02*

The app is stuck in a loop.  It tells me it needs an update.  It takes me to the store then the store tells me it’s updated.  I go back to the app and the cycle repeats.  I’ve powered the phone down  several times.  It still does not work.

### 1/5 — Horrible -hire someone

*2025-11-17*

Hire more competent software engineers to enhance the application. 
Each time you select the bottom right menu (more options), the application crashes and logs you out. 
When attempting to upload your résumé, it requests a filename but then fails to upload after clicking OK. (It does not appear under the résumé section.)
The application shows potential; however, you should have delayed the major news campaign and the announcement of the recent 'updates’ to allow sufficient time for proper fixing. 

I KNOW someone working on this application, using an iPhone (if that is relevant), has previously encountered these issues before the announcement of the app and website updates. So why even announce how much you have done to it if these issues are there?

The application has been updated; I have restarted my device and reinstalled the application. Therefore, I do not believe the problem is as trivial as that. The website remains cumbersome and overly complicated/distracting, rendering it useless in my opinion.

### 1/5 — Glitch

*2025-11-13*

It glitches and crashes on my iPad and my iPhone. Tried deleting and reinstalling, but no luck. Useless.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-10-04*

App won’t launch. Says “no connection”.

### 2/5 — Unpolished

*2024-08-16*

Unable to edit saved resumes, and job listing are seemingly unreliable

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-12-27*

As a recent graduate in graphic design, my class worked on a project specifically for the state of Alabama to encourage people to stay in Alabama to work. But businesses in Troy (where I am) and I’m sure all over the state are making it as hard as possible for anyone to actually find work. 

This app is a joke. And the developers need to do better. As someone who has a degree featuring UX and UI design I know how to utilize adobe XD and not only make an app that works but make an app that is easy for people to use. This process does not need to be this hard. 

To anyone who is reading this I strongly suggest moving out of the state to find a job. This state does not care about you. I am 3 months away from being homeless but employers or the state does not care. Leave Alabama and never look back. This place is horrible in so many ways but the false job advertisements and “help” is getting out of hand. Please please save yourself the heartache and look out of state for your next job.

### 1/5 — App won’t let you in!!!

*2022-07-11*

I understand there were problems with hacking but I haven’t been able to log in nor access job info! Glad I don’t have to use it to apply for benefits! Got to do better!!!

**Developer response:** The mobile application is currently down for maintenance. We are doing our best to ensure that the mobile application is functional as soon as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience.  In the meantime, please visit https://alabamaworks.alabama.gov.
