** Special Notes **
Government jobs unavailable to the public are not included in the search results. This is not an official USAJobs app. Some jobs are available in multiple locations, cities, or states.

If you want to apply for a job opening, this app will link you directly to the jobs details page of the official USAJobs website where you can Apply Online. This app utilizes Job Opportunity Announcement (JOA) information provided by the OPM and USAJobs Program as part of the Open Data Digital Strategy.

### 5/5 — Recent update

*2025-08-26, version 5.6*

Viewing job opportunities by location on a map is really nice!

### 1/5 — It seems like no matter what you put in for a job search, the result is Null.

*2022-03-28, version 4.01*

Horrible search parameters.    Just a scam for $1.99.

### 2/5 — USA Jobs is better

*2021-08-25, version 3.0*

Doesn’t have the same level of filters as the website. Not worth the money. App is cumbersome to use. Wanted to filter for telework but app doesn’t give that option like the website does.

### 5/5 — Recent update

*2021-08-23*

More search filters after the update. Viewing job opportunities by location on a map is really nice!

### 1/5 — Accidental

*2021-05-04, version 2.9*

I accidentally purchased this app. Can you reverse the charge?

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2020-10-23, version 2.7*

Please take this app off of the App Store. The idea is wonderful but it very much so feels like this is an abandoned project. I cannot search the area that I am searching, I cannot search what department I’m looking for, and many more issues. I bought this app to help me sort information, I find myself spending way more time clicking every job listing just to see they’re hiring in North Carolina. On the map, I see 10+ jobs hiring in my area but I cannot click on them and they are not identified by anything on the map so I can not go back to the listing page to find it. I’ve completely wasted my money. Disabled vet desperately trying to find a job and this was just another headache. Please just remove yourself from this app or at least stop charging for an incompetent service.

### 2/5 — Closes every time

*2020-10-21, version 2.7*

I paid for this app and it shuts down every time I try to use it

### 1/5 — Needs an overhaul

*2020-08-18, version 2.6*

This app is outdated and in need of modernization. It could use a filter for experience and recent graduates. It freezes and crashes.

### 1/5 — It did not locate anything for me

*2020-07-25, version 2.6*

I will like to have my money back! 1.99 but took 6.99 out my account!

### 1/5 — Still not working

*2020-05-03, version 2.6*

I just downloaded the app...that I paid for...I put in all my criteria and hit search...CRASH! This happened over and over again...I want my two bucks back🙄
