### 2/5 — So many bugs!

*2023-04-05*

I have to restart the app constantly and cannot get to the ratings screen. This really needs to be fixed.

### 2/5 — Not user friendly

*2022-09-20*

I work in a large company and the app does not show just my reqs it shows ALL the reqs and this is not helpful.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-04-21*

App doesn’t work anymore. I login but just get a spinning wheel.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t login anymore

*2022-03-31*

App used to work all fine. With the update not able to login. Tried changing environment and reset password. Nope, doesn’t work. Previous version of the app logged in all fine just with the same email ID. Wish I can go back to the old app.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2022-03-29*

This app does not open properly more than 90% of the time. It is so bad that I am not even able to use my iPad when reviewing hirevue content.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2022-03-08*

After the update the app has become useless. Interviews never properly open.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-03-04*

Doesn’t work, this app is worthless, how can i recruit people from my mobile phone? I cannot.

### 1/5 — Update Equals Garbage App

*2022-03-03*

I used to be able to at least see which interviews were completed and which ones I still need to review. Now that I can’t do that, this app is worthless.

### 1/5 — Bad “Update”

*2022-02-16*

You took what was a great app and made it unusable. This update is horrible. While the new video is better in app, that was never a problem especially since you don’t hire based on looks. 

1. I can’t copy the answers in app. So now if I want to call or text someone I have to switch between the phone/text app and the HireVue app. I don’t think I can calculate how much more time that’s going to waste. 

2. Now it takes more clicks to get between questions. Wasted time!

3. Sometimes the app just goes blank. Sometimes the applicants just don’t show up. 

4. The app is slower to get around to different areas of the app. Wasting even more time.  

5. Now EVERY Position in my company comes up with no way to Filter just mine in the Positions tab.  I work for a Fortune 100 company, can you guess how many interviews that is and how much time that wastes while I search for my interview??

6. Search just doesn’t work. Or it is taking so long to pull anything up that I can’t wait for it. Wasted time!

None of these were issues…until I logged into the app today. Based on this I’m sure I’ll find more issues. 

I’ve been an iPhone user for 13 years and never written a review before. This is the first time because this update is just such junk, I don’t even think I can evaluate on the road anymore. Now I’m going to have to take my laptop everywhere I go….which obviously makes this app useless. 

Did you guys try to get any feedback before you launched this update? I can’t imagine someone, like me, who’s goes through daily 20-70, up to 100 interviews a day wouldn’t have mentioned some of these issues….

Please fix this quickly.

### 1/5 — Navigation does not work

*2021-04-27*

Like the other reviewer, I found it impossible to navigate out of an interview using the back button. You have to shut down, log in again, click and refresh multiple times to see the candidate list. Very poor execution.

### 2/5 — Will not allow navigation (super frustrating)

*2021-03-26*

The app does not allow me to muse the built in back button to go to the next candidate.  Have to close the app and reopen.   Can’t see this tool being used much longer as it will quickly be replaced by something that is actually supported. Also provide little no data in the candidates much like it’s desk top version.

### 1/5 — App keeps crashing

*2020-06-16*

App (on iPad) keeps crashing, in the end conducted interview over the phone without HireVue.  Contacted Customer Services who were no help, suggested I carry on using my phone.

### 1/5 — So buggy

*2019-08-30, version 3.3.19*

Search doesn’t work, many screens are blank and when it does finally show a position I click on it and a completely different position comes up each time.

### 2/5 — Stick to the website

*2018-11-20*

The sort order control doesn’t appear to work at all, there doesn’t appear to be a way to see only “to-dos” in a given list as you can on the website, and the filter appears to only work on names. I’m struggling to find ways this app is an improvement over the website, I’m afraid it feels like more of an afterthought.

### 2/5 — Does not rotate on iPhone 5

*2018-04-17*

Auto (or even manual) rotate does not work on iPhone 5.
This causes display for reviewer to be limited.

### 3/5 — It's not great

*2017-07-24, version 3.3.2*

It's I guess a bit nicer in some ways than using the website on a tablet. Otherwise it's a bit fiddly. On browser, I can see tests and code side by side, here I have to swipe between description, tests, code, and challenges.

Worst of all there's no syntax highlighting for code, just a great yellow wall of text.

### 2/5 — Previous version was better

*2017-02-24, version 3.2.1*

I really like the previous version better.  Don't remember details as I haven't used the app in a couple of months. Returning for spring recruiting now. 

UI is horrible. This version doesn't display the candidates name, position.   Ratings sometimes records, sometimes not. Doesn't auto play even though the setting is set to auto play. Code window is too small, line wraps.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2025-09-16*

Rarely works. Get your team to fix this

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2024-11-23*

Great idea but never works.

### 1/5 — App keeps freezing

*2024-11-15, version 5.0.17*

The app keeps freezing up after two or three reviews. Uninstalling and reinstalling fixes the issue but what’s pain in the butt.

### 1/5 — Can’t play while screen off

*2024-09-13*

Why would you ever make an app that requires hours of listening not work while the screen is off?  I like to listen to candidates while taking a walk or run, but it’s impossible with the way this app is designed.  It’s like the app designers never considered how the app would be used.

### 1/5 — Can’t Login to Use App

*2024-03-26*

Tried to login, but continue getting error of “Network request failed.” Everything else on my phone is working.

### 1/5 — What happened? Doesn’t work

*2023-12-29*

This app used to be so great and convenient. I had all of my hiring managers download it. Now it doesn’t work at all. Please fix it.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-04-08*

App just won’t login.  Constant error type problems.  Use Zoom

### 1/5 — No ability to login

*2023-03-30*

I cannot login anymore since the last update

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work.

*2022-09-03*

Developers please fix the app. I use it to review candidates in the iPhone and all I get it’s a spinning wheel. Listen to all the complaints. Multiple reviews are telling you this works. Don’t you read these reviews??

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-05-02*

Doesn’t work. Put email address in and then can’t submit. Tried to change the environment with no success. Terrible app that needs a lot of work

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — The ultimate in convenience

*2016-09-22*

Expanding beyond its desktop platform, HireVue successfully allows for candidate interviews and evaluations on the go. I can't speak high enough about this platform. I recommend it to everyone.

### 5/5 — Forget the paper, hello digital!

*2016-08-10, version 3.0.8*

Love the Hirevue app. Now my managers can do their interviews on the go!  Easy to use and easy to access from anywhere.  The interface is great.  Thank you.

### 5/5 — Talent Acquisition

*2016-07-19, version 3.0.8*

The HireVue Pro app is so convenient! I can review candidates as I do my daily commute.

### 5/5 — Great tool!

*2016-04-20, version 3.0.3*

This app is amazing. Works like a charm and truly helps with adoption, candidate experience and change management. Once you get your recruiters or hiring managers to use it, they won't go back!

### 5/5 — HireVue Pro Rocks!

*2016-03-29*

The HireVue Pro app makes it easy for me to quickly evaluate candidates who have completed HireVue On Demand interviews. It's a great timesaver for me to be able to do this on my mobile device from wherever I happen to be!

### 5/5 — Super Convenient

Great product, great for hiring. I hired 200 people for our start-up...still using it and love the video data analytics.

### 4/5 — HireVue Pro App

*2016-10-25, version 3.1.0*

Great app for interviewing and evaluating digital interviews on the go.

### 4/5 — Easy to use!

*2016-06-14, version 3.0.7*

This hireVue pro app is easy to use, easy to navigate, and I can watch videos anywhere. Great application!
