Still has bugs

When I am using this app for the iPad, it’s not the best experience. Text fields collapse back to a small window when comments are used on posts and can’t be expanded back to continue writing. Glitches when removing or deleting items like job notifications and general notifications. I think it’s grown to be more of a social media platform rather than a business community. I’d rather use the browser version than the iPad app. The space is wasted on the app like it’s using a phone app. Developers, Please come up with a better design.

Horribly buggy

I hope the latest update corrects the ridiculous bug which prevented posts from being posted.

Made two posts yesterday — neither of them appeared nor can they be found anywhere. No error message, just vanished into the ether.

Why am I posting this after updating?

Because the version number listed above is incorrect, so I have no idea what it really refers to.

I just updated from 9.32.xxx to 9.32.4719 but the latest version, supposedly 13 hours ago, is given as 9.1.580

That’s clearly wrong and the error lies with the developer.

To make matters worse, AppStore naturally didn’t let me know an update was available because the version number on offer is *lower* than the version number I was running.

Luckily coming to this page make a bug report (no way to do so in app) and complain about just how bad this app is, did trigger an app update offer.

How truly bizarre and broken it is.

While you’re at it, how about making the Back button appear everywhere it’s needed - like after following a notification - instead of just randomly and unpredictably for certain types of content only.

Gosh, there’s so much more that’s wrong but I don’t want to make the devs cry so I’ll leave it there.

Network Offline Error

Can’t do much with the latest app version as it keeps saying “Network Offline” even though all the other apps are working.

Garbage

More ads and posts from people that are 3rd away from me than actual updates from my network. Total garbage.

Worst app experience ever

This is the worst app ever I used in the last 10 years. App on iPad is pure garbage, posts are scaling app to narrow view, when browsing on full screen, no responsive design either full screen but not fully supported or app square-ish window view that has everything squashed, top menu most of the times is squashed or out of the screen. Why you created such useless and annoying app for iPad when you would be better to not do it at all. No quality checks, no proper testing and shipping AI generated slop at scale. Avoid this app at all costs

PURE AI SLOP

This app that was once touted as necessary for industry networking and job searches has devolved into a revolving door of AI slop posts, AI propaganda, and TikTok style short form video. Absolute joke of a platform and a sign of the times. Society has lost the plot.

Update: even their developer support team is a joke. They provided me a link to “contact them directly” and it directs me to their general FAQ page.

Pricey

Very pricey for white collar Tinder.

App full of spam useless content and it crashes all the time.

A lot of unfixed flaws, poor client service, frozen response when clicking a button, broken functionalities which do not respond, metrics with error on tracking reports, not for true professionals.

Post

Just allowed me to post pictures and they were all fine. Until I opened the uploaded post and half the pictures were unrecognizable?! Do you know how stupid that looks? Terrible platform.

Fix bugs

Worst app on my phone, insane amount of bugs

Wonderful app

I love LinkedIn you can connect with professional people. You can apply for jobs. It has information on anything you can think of. I really enjoy how it celebrates people in their profession.

Used to be good

Used to be a great app / platform. Unfortunately has now become loaded with “shorts” and videos that have nothing to do with anyone’s career (neither the person who posted or your own). Is trying to become another social media platform which I suspect will drive more and more people away

Tenant

I had the worst experience ever they charge me for 12 months and I was trying to work from home and they would not let me do I tried to get my money back because I did not know I couldn’t work from home and they wouldn’t give me a try and took my money anyway for 13 months not knowing how I was going to pay because I needed to work from the home I wasted 12 whole months and they did not try to reimburse me my money or nothing but I’m looking further into the situation don’t deal with them they do not make you feel at home and RUN not supported at all they just want money don’t refer nobody not even a dog 😟👎🏾Sincerely Ms.Edwards

Garbage Interface…Garage content

Using iPad iOS, so maybe other interfaces are better, but it doesn’t work. Tried to edit profile, kept exiting on each character I entered.

Love being pressured

Love going on the website and every few second a big icon pops up download the app .

The text editor on iOS is junk

I don’t know how it is on other OSs, but, the LinkedIn iOS app’s text editor is somehow more glitchy than the one on Facebook. Most annoying is how it randomly jumps to the end of the text when you’re attempting to insert a text. It’s like the developers thought appending was the only thing you do in a text editor. Sometimes it works, most of the times it doesn’t - meaning whatever the problem is - probably doesn’t show on a non-exhaustive test regime.

Dumb notifications, dumb feed

Gives notifications for jobs that have already been marked as applied to. Massive waste of time and attention.

Also, now has an insane number of ads. Usually have to scroll through a dozen posts to see one from one of my 1000’s of 1st connections. That is a horrible feed design.

Disappointed

Customer support takes too long to fix a problem. Literally I been trying to recover my account for over 3 weeks, and the persona app they use to validate someone, cannot recognize no my id. It’s frustrating that customer support is not responding anymore! I have sent several email to the person handling my case and I am getting no response. When I tried their links, it requests to sign in, and I can’t sign in to my account, so the issue is not getting resolved.

Longtime app user

Very difficult to recover account. Not even sure why my account has been locked. Supposedly a support team member reaches out quickly . Not at all true.

When are you going to fix the app freezing in landscape mode on an ipad? This problem has been apparent for ages significant time.
