Posting a job as though someone can actually get hired somewhere, responding via automated email saying you will be discussing an open position with someone “but first download my app” is not only a red flag for a potential phishing scam, it is a huge bait and switch for people who are seriously seeking employment. I downloaded the app just to see what would happen next so I can post a heads up for others if it was a scam. I guess this has been working enough for you guys to keep doing it but it is not the most ethical way to seek users. Cool product but I am not a fan of how you guys spam LinkedIn Jobs which is striving to be a credible place to seek employment. Be upfront about what you are seeking and the right people will come. ### 1/5 — SCAM *2023-10-10, version 4.8.0* Do not download. Avoid at all costs. ### 1/5 — Deceptive and inadequate. *2023-10-06, version 4.8.0* They post job ads, but submissions trigger invites to the app, which is like UpWork, but much worse. If they ever manage to achieve network-effect, they may have something. But building it based in deception is not the way to go. ### 1/5 — False Advertising *2023-10-02* I understand the point of the application- may be useful to some people. However, I found this through fake job postings to lure people into downloading. Misleading and dishonest, therefore 1 star. If you came here for any other reason than KNOWING what it is, then you were probably lied to. Good luck! ### 2/5 — Too much spam emails *2023-09-08, version 4.6.4* And there’s no option to unsubscribe from those mails. ### 1/5 — Absolute Scam. Taking advantage of job seekers. *2023-08-27* This app is posting tons of seemingly legitimate job listings on sites like ZipRecruiter and Indeed. After you submit your resume they pressure you into downloading the app and providing your personal info. This is an elaborate phishing and personal information brokering scam. Save yourself the time and money by not getting caught in the crosshairs of this. Honestly it should be removed from the store. ### 1/5 — Do not get this app *2023-08-13, version 4.6.2* This app and platform is a joke I had my information stolen by someone I performed a job for & then never got paid the $500 I was owed. Be careful there are scammers everywhere ### 5/5 — I never write reviews *2023-08-08* I never write reviews or even rate apps but I had to rate this one. I love this app. Love the community. If anything it inspires my hustle. ### 1/5 — Job Seekers BEWARE of this SCAM *2023-07-30, version 4.5.2* This deeply unethical company will write misleading ads and rope you into a FAKE interview process in search of user generated content for their fledgling app. Once they’ve got you in their scam-adjacent pipeline you’ll be stuck on a myriad of mailing lists that it is impossible to successfully unsubscribe from. AVOID THIS MESS AT ALL COSTS. SAVE YOURSELF. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2023-07-17* If you are a freelancer, solopreneur or an expert in a specific area of gig work, this is the community for you to join. Watch awesome free content on tons of quick ways to earn. Apply to be a Creator who delivers content via live sessions or webinars. The sky may be the limit, long term. I'm all in. 💜🌱 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-04-02, version 5.1.3* Total scam. This app is nothing but a social network wanna of people desperately grasping at straws. I've gotten between 15-30 notifications a day for the last two months and I've found absolutely zero value in any of it. This is a scam targeting desperate entrepreneurs. ### 1/5 — Not a job. A scam *2025-01-30, version 5.1.3* Yes there may be people making money on the app but you have to apply using a google form. This is a huge red flag. There’s a requirement to post a positive review here on the App Store to become a mentor. Beware. Don’t trust the LinkedIn nor the app nor the reviews. Thanks ### 1/5 — Fakee *2025-01-04, version 5.1.3* This app is truly fake ### 1/5 — SCAM *2024-09-02, version 5.1.2* This app is a total scam created by Arthur Wang; don’t even bother! ### 1/5 — What a scam!! *2024-07-28, version 5.1.2* Don’t waste your time on this. ### 1/5 — fake/scam *2024-06-24, version 5.1.2* posted a fake job listing just for people to download the app ### 1/5 — Applied for a job got scammed into this app and not can’t deactivate *2024-04-13* LinkedIn has become a cesspool of scam job openings but this is the lowest one I have seen so far. I have been on this app for a week and have only been solicited by scam real estate accounts and filtering through other’s complaints that this app is useless and unhelpful. People are looking for jobs not apps that give them the run around. ### 1/5 — Definite Scam *2024-02-21* This “company” is putting seemingly legitimate job postings on sites like Zip Recruiter and LinkedIn that will get you nothing but an automated email trying to get you to sign up for the app. The email is from a very suspicious address, not a real person or company’s email, clearly. Hopefully job sites and app sites will see what a grift this is and act accordingly. ### 1/5 — This is a con *2024-01-16, version 5.0.2* Do not download. The positive reviews are fake. People are lured into downloading the app based on a job that doesn’t exist. Apple needs to take this app down ### 1/5 — Useless, worthless app *2023-10-27* So I was using indeed. To look for work and this app popped up for me to download it is the most useless app I’ve ever seen. It’s basically TikTok for job applications so I used it and there’s no use for this at all to look for jobs I just felt felt like it was a bunch of spam and scams to look for jobs and I can’t find any decent jobs with this app in my city so I removed it it’s just a bunch of user data collection scams. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-08-29, version 5.1.3* Awesome networking ### 5/5 — Arthur Wang is the man🔥 *2025-02-23* While I do not know the man personally I do know he has done a wonderful job with the FUD community in terms of adding members and so much value! There is a ton of learning opportunity for anyone looking to expand their knowledge in a number of ways. Thanks Arthur!! ### 5/5 — Dupree *2024-09-22, version 5.1.2* Great platform!!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — This app is great *2024-05-19, version 5.1.1* When I first joined on Fud I learnt about this app on LinkedIn, in the form of a job post. At first when I joined I was a little bit confused for how this was a job, but later recognized that this is a lot bigger than a job, that this app helps change lives. At first when I joined this app I thought I would get paid hourly, because of position I applied for, when looking for a side hustle, but then realized that there is a way to change traditional conventional mindset level of thinking into more of a sidehustleneur level of thinking. Heck after I joined Fud I think invented a new word lol. When I first joined I was told Fud is some type of social experiment and what not, I didn’t think much about it at that time, but there is no way earth that I could have imagined in my right mind of where I would be 5 months later after joining it. My name is Rome Wells 21st century freedom writer, and former certified math teacher for the state of CT. I took a chance Fud… and you know what? It worked….. not only did I manage to become a better person, but I unlocked new skills that I couldn’t have possibly even imagined before joining Fud. Keep something in mind in my life I kept failing anything I touch. I remember giving a swing at some point of my life attempted to start a startup and ended up failing horribly. In my life I failed in many things, but what I was able to accomplish in Fud is absolutely insane. Fud is designed to reengineer conventional level of thinking to position yourself into non conventional thinker. After realizing that taking non conventional path is a lot faster pathway to freedom, I ended up inventing entire system on Fud and not only one system but multiple systems that helps side hustlers rapidly begin using this system to help them succeed. I invented Feudal System when I joined Fud or should I say reincarnated it back from the feudal times in the digital app named Fud and I used this system myself and managed to remodify my brain patterns. I published the results of the system in over 100 steps guide, for everyone to see how I managed to take my brain from 0 to hero in a very short amount of time. To see see the feudal system guide for details, and you will truly discover that I had 0 skills in non conventional path. Now this path meant investing into skills and showing to Fud as I am evolving and it meant creating guides, workshops, videos, posts. Every guide was a mission, every post was a sacrifice of time, every workshop created kept evolving my skills further and further, I kept unlocking one skill after another and I was able to find my co-partner Luca from Brazil while I am in Connecticut. As a traditional cyber security engineer I needed something more in life, Fud managed to help me get something more and now 5 months later what can I say…. I guess Fud social experiment proved to be successful, now my success may have differentiation from yours after all I am a 21 st century freedom writer…. In short 5 month period I managed to only create cyber security company, but managed to pivot out of it and create another agency that is a talent agency and automation agency all in 1. Now call that what you want, but in my opinion if it wasn’t for Fud I think I’d still be looping in life for another 15 years…. The questions do you want to stop looping and take a faster path to freedom? Or do you want to take conventional path and be stuck in the cage to infinity until you die? Well I don’t know about you…. But Fud…. Seems like a lot shorter path to freedom than I have anything encountered before…. Take that from me a guy with 0 skills before joining Fud and with insane skills that are not taught in college 5 months later… You tell me…. Was that an accident or result of hard work? What Fud does guys…. Changes lives…… Fud experts provides pills of knowledge to side hustlers and truly change lives. You have a choice either you continue looping in life… or join us…. And yes I have a lot of content on Fud a lot…. Because we are building an actual talent and automation agency, hence is the reason why you see insanely amazing content from me on Fud, but other Fud Experts are also amazing and we collab together and have fun together and interact with subscribers and building our feudal land and growing that feudal land further. If you see someone providing bad review about Fud, then they are misinformed and probably never had a chance to read…. I get it… now days span attention of many people is very low due to tik tok and all sorts of flashy apps, I get it…. If you reading this review, see for yourself if what I am saying is true, join my workshops if you still have doubts about the app. Let me help you modify your brain patterns and give you the pill to freedom. The idea behind Fud is to help side hustlers carve something on their own. When I joined I had 0 skills, but Fud helped me develop new skills and now we are running our own Automation and Talent agency. You decide if social experiment is successful or not…. You decide….. In my mind Fud is a perfect tool for any side hustler who is ready to bet on themselves learn the skills and print money together while having fun. I simply did not see any app of such magnitude. It forces you to develop new skills this is a perfect app for any one seeking to get connected across the world together and print money. Just look at what happened to me and Luca 2 side hustlers across the world building talent and automation agency…. Guys don’t sleep on this app, I was lucky to get on this earlier, and Fud was kind enough to give me a chance to be a Fud expert, but if you have the skill that you can share and are ok in sacrificing of upfront time in order to win big at the end…. Then Fud is for you…. If you are looking for a job… with freelancer mentality…. Fud also has some incredible guides that & Fud experts who mentor this as well. ### 5/5 — The Future of Work *2024-03-20* This FUD app is where work is trending in 2024.
