### 2/5 — Big bugs

*2025-07-22, version 6.2.1*

IT’s deleted all my letters now it will not let me log in.  It will not accept my My gov login details.  This is so unfair.  When you try to call you are too busy to accept the call.

### 1/5 — Appalling

*2025-04-01, version 6.2.0*

Stupidist update from centerlink absolutely appalling

### 1/5 — Can’t log in

*2025-03-28, version 6.2.0*

Ridiculous this hasn’t been fixed in months. The app exists because the website isn’t mobile optimised yet you can’t log into the app. Expecting people to jump through hoops. Standard.

### 1/5 — Can’t login

*2025-03-17, version 6.2.0*

I’ve changed my password numerous times thinking that’s the problem and yet I still can’t login back in on the app.

### 1/5 — Needs update

*2025-03-07, version 6.2.0*

Outdated login system: doesn’t work with myID. Cannot log in. Frustrating and adding to already high stress levels. This is how government pushes people to suicide.

### 2/5 — The passcode nt shows

*2025-02-26, version 6.2.0*

Every time I login by myGov link it’s nt shows paascode login 
iPhone 7

### 1/5 — Cannot log in

*2025-02-22, version 6.2.0*

My app is glitching and won’t let me log in with my MyGov account. It keeps telling me the information is wrong even though it isn’t. I have reset passwords and it’s still saying the same thing.

### 1/5 — login busted

*2025-02-05, version 6.2.0*

can't login for the last month, says invalid login, yet password and all details work fine on my gov app

### 1/5 — Still needs improvement

*2025-02-03, version 6.2.0*

The app needs different sign in options. Both MyGov and Centrelink apps have Digital ID and passkey options - it’s needed here too. 
Only sign in option is to use your myGov sign in, which is currently not working

### 1/5 — Fixed it myself :/

*2025-02-02, version 6.2.0*

Writing for anyone who has also had an issue getting back into the app for weeks on end now.. 

If you like me have found that when you log it it says password incorrect even though it’s not- don’t click forgot password because it doesn’t work, go forgot username for some reason that works and I got the app working again…

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-01-14, version 6.2.0*

Can’t even sign is as it won’t allow me to use myGovID, and I do not have a password. There is no option anywhere for alternative sign on options or using myID… what is the point in this app? Same for the Medicare app, both poorly designed and mediocre in functionality

### 1/5 — Help line

*2025-01-07, version 6.2.0*

Has nothing to do with the app but one hour on hold is absolutely ridiculous and yet still no response

### 1/5 — Too many bugs for a government app. Developers should be appalled.

*2025-01-02, version 6.2.0*

Cannot submit study hours. Why is it so far below on the screen on ios 18?

### 1/5 — App won’t load!!!!!

*2024-06-17, version 6.1.7*

Uninstalled and reinstalled! Will not load!!!

### 1/5 — Won’t open

*2024-03-16, version 6.1.3*

Can’t even get to the sign in screen, says can’t talk to server.
Tried reporting the error but no help at all from that.

### 1/5 — What’s the point of this site

*2023-10-23, version 6.1.2*

Can hardly apply for jobs on this site it takes u to seek or one of the other site and I refuse to apply for jobs on those sites because they send u endless pointless emails, forever getting logged out of this site I can’t remember my password so have to make tons of accounts just do repeat it the next day

### 1/5 — garbage app

*2023-09-01, version 6.1.2*

you can't load up your resume and evidence of job applications never turns up and you basically don't have the evidence to get a benefit payment.for 1 and a half weeks i've been living on what i grow in my garden just coming into spring so close to living on oxygen for dinner in that time and no one on the hotline would help,the people on the phone were as useless as a bull with you know.i went into the centrelink office and cancelled any claim of benefits,of which the workforce being a third party contractor to the centrelink either won't work together or help in any affective way.the centrelink lady say what are you going to eat and survive i laugh and said oh now someone cares finally,continued my cancellation and had my time completely wasted.these people that design these apps should be on benefits not creating such problems and thinking they are good at there job.take my word old school print out ya resume and go to the companies you want to work for and try you're luck i did and one day and i've got a job.thanks for the hunger pains and lack of support to your customers workforce and centrelink for this i learned a lot.the government is never improving it's the only making it hard, no wonder there is so much crime.

### 1/5 — Vacancy search failed

*2023-07-27, version 6.1.1*

I can not search for a job. It shows the message: There was a problem. Vacancy search failed!
And a Retry button.

### 1/5 — CRYPTIC AT BEST

*2026-02-03, version 6.3.1*

What a mess - the UI is cryptic - employment courses either don’t come up with any results, or are very detailed yet lack substance - when you try to book it comes up with error or spinning balls - you try and call the hotline get out on hold for 2 hours

### 1/5 — Half a star

*2025-08-24, version 6.2.1*

You smug losers standing over people. Your nothing but dirty dead dying dogs

### 1/5 — Can’t save jobs

*2025-08-10, version 6.2.1*

So I can no longer save jobs I want to apply for which makes this app useless. It says you may only add 100 jobs to your saved jobs. Remove existing jobs to continue. However I have removed all jobs and even cleared all expired jobs but it still will not let me save jobs. How hard can it be to get that simple function right. Seek, indeed etc don’t have this issue. Even tried uninstalling and reinstalling and nope doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — hate

*2025-06-13, version 6.2.1*

Omg just show me the jobs in my city not the whole goddamn state. Also, when i click an external link to look at a job, come back to the app, it takes me back to the top of my search???

### 1/5 — Terrible App!!

*2025-06-08, version 6.2.1*

Never lets me login with my password! Never resends a code for a new password and always logging me out!!

### 1/5 — Ridiculous drama

*2025-06-02*

This app is so terribly not intuitive it is astounding. One must open the app then log into My Gov to even access your workforce information which is not the same as the information you have access to if you go straight to myGov and then workforce.    Obviously some very poor coding and definitely no thought into how a person uses this. So you need to go to workforce through both this app and straight through my gov to get your data, upload forms, update your information. Having been a code writer I find the whole thing ludicrous

### 1/5 — My applied jobs don’t save

*2025-04-15, version 6.2.1*

Anytime I use this app to apply for a job I click on a link that takes me to a website and I can fill out an application that isn’t recognised by workforce or the website shows me an error code and I can’t continue.

### 1/5 — Login issue

*2025-04-14, version 6.2.1*

Tried logging in with my normal myGov username and password and it doesn’t work. Made me change my password and then still didn’t work. I contacted support and they basically said that’s my problem. Overall a terrible app, don’t bother wasting your storage

### 1/5 — Idiotic UX not Intuitive

*2025-04-10, version 6.2.1*

Most important thing government is hiding from you POINTS you are not able to view them. Can not believe people got actually paid for such a poor design and logic. People struggle to find things in the App and the website.

### 1/5 — Fix the issues!

*2025-04-04, version 6.2.0*

Haven’t been able to log in for ages, reset my password so many times and just realised the issue. Can’t log in using email/password combo due to being prompted to use digital id/passkey on the myGov app (which then disables a password log in) and does not seem to be a compatible way to log in with this app.
I know it’s a different app but if logging in via myGov the submit button is off the page so it is also unusable 🙄

### 5/5 — Ios 18.0 for iphone 15 pro max colors issues.

*2024-11-05, version 6.2.0*

Updated: Took you long enough to fix the issues.
Old:
As title pls fix it asap. Back in ios 17 it’s white now it’s blue mix with interface.

### 5/5 — Rename the app please

*2023-05-21, version 6.1.1*

Should be renamed N²m

And if I’m smart enough to figure this out then i deserve a job 🤓

### 5/5 — Good app

*2022-07-06, version 6.0.0*

I was able to use - Fit my purpose

### 5/5 — Stupid app

*2022-05-07, version 5.4.2*

Do those people actually get paid to sit behind a desk and get paid while you look for a job and they claim they’re helping? This app and those people are lazy and they claim the unemployed are lazy

### 5/5 — Not Happy!

*2019-03-27, version 4.3.0*

Every time I try to upload my resume it logs me right out of the App... I can’t seem to save it unless I copy and paste it and even then I can’t upload it to anything job application because it’s a “text” not “doc” or “PDF”. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong...

### 4/5 — Job search effort

*2018-09-29, version 4.1.0*

Why does it take so long for the above to come up . All I want to do is add x3 jobs I have applied for one my iPad  and it brings up everything but- is this Centrelinks way of unwittingly catching people out - I have about 10 jobs already in my search effort now I cannot even find the page ...... rubbish app

### 3/5 — Ok

*2025-04-07, version 6.2.1*

Usually works great but I haven’t been able to use it for about a week now as it won’t let me sign in

### 3/5 — Not that great

*2022-05-22, version 5.4.2*

Can’t select multiple locations. I keep forgetting how to access job search link as it’s not that clear. Now has problems with ‘back end server’. Won’t let me upload resume.
I used to use the “stars“ to keep track of jobs I applied for but that function doesn’t work anymore. The stars would go from an outline to yellow when you tapped them.

### 3/5 — Can’t remove starred jobs

*2021-12-09, version 5.4.1*

I really appreciate this app, however the one thing that would make it perfect would be the ability to remove jobs started. I use this to keep track of what I’ve applied for and there’s a fifty job limit that I reached a while ago and now can’t star any more or remove old ones that have expired. Please fix this!

### 3/5 — Changes

*2021-05-17, version 5.2.2*

Is just what you expect it to be but the latest change to how looking for jobs works is really bad makes it all the more difficult why do have job search by split into parts like western suburbs, south east suburbs instead of the old way of just putting in the suburb your looking for the job and have a slider  of how far out from that suburb you want to look for jobs
