### 2/5 — Overall good app. One down side that’s very annoying!

*2022-10-24, version 5.0.13*

In general the app is great, but the most annoying thing about this app is when I have scroll to view jobs and have to stop for a minute, phone screen turns off and it the app resets to home! Same thing if I switch to a different app for something else and come back to this app which I have to scroll through everything again. Your better of using a PC. 2 stars because that is VERY Annoying!

### 2/5 — App doesn’t have native employer functionality

*2022-09-16, version 5.0.12*

The app is basically for individuals looking for work. If you are an employer, the app redirects to you an in app web browser based interface.

I don’t understand. Why doesn’t the app itself support the employer portion.

### 4/5 — Decent app but a little annoying.

*2022-01-20, version 5.0.5*

The search filters are great, applying for jobs  is quick and easy. 

The only 2 things I have against the app is 
1. after you click on a job position to read about the it, very often the app loves to refresh and start you all the way back at the top of the page so you have to scroll all the way back down to where you were so you can continue from where you picked up.

2. While you’re scrolling through job options, the app loads and populates the job listings and when it does that, it scrolls you down the list skipping a bunch of job listings so you have to scroll back up to see what it skipped.

Like I said, it’s a very useful and plentiful app. These things are just really annoying and interrupt your job search.

### 2/5 — Super BUGGY!

*2021-10-29, version 5.0.1*

I’m not sure if its just me , but the app keeps refreshing on its own over and over and over again.

### 2/5 — If it’s not broke don’t fix it!

*2021-10-22, version 5.0.1*

The screen is divided in half now and it flashes on and off.  Impossible to use.

### 5/5 — Simply hired

*2021-09-23, version 4.1.7*

Best app ever to find jobs

### 2/5 — Fine just not convenient

*2021-07-18, version 4.1.5*

When you click on a job posting it doesn’t give the description it’s blacked out.  once you go back from a listing it puts you back to the top of the listings page. Has plenty of job listings though, many that aren’t on other job listing websites too, that’s nice!

### 3/5 — I can’t see anything with dark mode

*2021-07-14, version 4.1.5*

There’s no setting to turn off dark mode on the app. I can’t see any of the job postings when I click into them

### 5/5 — IPhone XR black background

*2021-06-20, version 4.1.5*

I’m using xr and can’t see much when I open a job offer. Black on black just don’t work. Giving you 5 stars and hope you can do something about this.

### 5/5 — It’s a good app

*2021-06-05, version 4.1.4*

I genuinely think that this app can help tons and tons of kids, teenagers, and even adults find jobs.

### 5/5 — Great app, but

*2021-03-07, version 4.1.1*

I would like if, after looking at a job, it wouldn’t scroll you all the way back up to the beginning of the search results. It’s inconvenient. Other than that, I love the smooth and simple design of this app.

### 5/5 — J Hearts ♥️

*2021-01-27, version 4.1.0*

Love this App together we are Great 😊 Thank you 🙏   I love you ❤️ 💕

### 5/5 — Awesome, love it!

*2020-12-27, version 4.0.7*

Love that I can put the minimum pay rate I’d accept & see what jobs/positions are availed near me. Not disappointed at all

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — terrible design

*2022-08-18, version 5.0.12*

it’s impossible to do anything on this app

### 1/5 — Spam spam and invasive to privacy

*2022-08-04, version 5.0.12*

This app wants to have access to your google contacts, cloud, tracking and the last time I logged in it wanted access to my google account. My secondary email has now been flooded with fishing emails and spam after spam because all of my contacts from google have been “subscribed” to marketing agencies which try to tell me everything from having money owed to me from lawsuit settlements, to being in default with companies I’ve never done business with and countless messages that I have free offers of dewalt tools awarded to me just by doing surveys. This all happened in the span of 3 days. I immediately deleted this app when it wanted access to my account. Warning emails from google were sent to my 2nd email and I have since changed all my passwords. There is no reason for this much invasiveness of privacy. If you use it, be aware and all your email contacts and info you have on them is free for the taking. 
Big disappointment for someone who is just trying to better themselves in the job market.

### 1/5 — Troubleshooting

*2022-06-23, version 5.0.11*

I am unable to apply for the position through the app on my phone. Can someone assist me with troubleshooting?

### 1/5 — Bad experience all around

*2021-09-17, version 4.1.7*

I initially signed up for Simply Hired on the desktop where it gives you an option to create an account via Facebook or Google. I chose Facebook because the Google button did not work. The apply button also did not work on desktop. I transitioned to the app and the only sign in options are by Apple or Google. No Facebook option so all of the work I put in to creating my account is essentially useless if I want to use the app. I decided to search for jobs without signing in and nothing will load. I’ve tried using different wifi, 5G, and downloaded on a friend’s phone and it just doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Internet browser>>>app

*2021-06-16, version 4.1.5*

I prefer going to the simply hired website instead. When I click on a job then decide it isn’t for me, I press back to go back to browsing so I can continue my job searching.
 But… the whole browser refreshes and takes you back to the top of your search(where the filter button is). So then I have to scroll all the way back down to the spot I was in originally in just to continue my search.

The SimplyHired app doesn’t organize their job postings as pages, like the Indeed app. It’s just one long scrolling list. I also want to mention that a lot of the job postings are also blank on the app. However, when you go to the website on your safari/google app, you see the whole job posting. So I’m guessing that’s also just a problem with app itself. 

It’s very discouraging to search for jobs because it’s so complicated to search on the app. 
I honestly just really hope the SimplyHired team takes these problems into consideration. Because I don’t even use the app anymore…

### 1/5 — Can’t even upload resume

*2021-03-29, version 4.1.1*

I downloaded this app to look for nearby dental assisting jobs and I can’t even upload my resume because it’s on google docs and when I choose the google drive option it won’t even show what’s in my drive! Going to delete immediately.

### 1/5 — Does not save progress

*2021-02-01, version 4.1.0*

This is the worst! As soon as I’ve completed an application, I went out of the app for five seconds to find a reference number and everything was deleted! This means I had to start the application over and in my case if my phone were to lock everything would be deleted AGAIN!

### 1/5 — Constantly crashes when attempting to change search categories

*2020-10-29, version 4.0.3*

Smh how disappointing.

### 1/5 — Can’t see profile from mobile app

*2020-01-09, version 3.8.2*

I went out to update my resume and contact email and found the ability to do so wasn’t available. Horrible.

### 1/5 — Broken on opening

*2020-01-08, version 3.8.2*

Has this ever worked? The “update” just has a search bar at the top of the screen... I would still love to use this app but as a user who has tried to use it for the past few months... not getting anywhere.

### 5/5 — Sterile Processes Technician

*2022-12-01, version 5.0.15*

I needed to be reconnected with past employers and the Simply Hired app helped me.

### 5/5 — Best Job search Tool

*2022-06-28, version 5.0.11*

Simply hired is an excellent tool that pulls the Job postings from everywhere in the world.

Most of the times my recruiters ask me how do you come to know about job posting.

Also, Simply hired helped me to stay in the first 5 job applicants.

It helped me many times duromgy job search being a call consultant. 

Thank you so much for innovating such a great job search engine machine.

That's awesome!!!
