- [R4] Snagajob Terrible app: How are y’all gonna posts jobs that quite literally don’t exist? People out here struggling and all y’all care about is getting traffic, and pushing jobs people either payed to have on the list, or that flat out aren’t even a thing anymore. If I could rate below one star I would. I don’t know why I keep trying these apps. I’ve NEVER got so much as an email back from any employer I’ve
- [R20] Snagajob Terrible app with fake job descriptions: So I have been using indeed for 4 years and I am actually able to get a job quicker than snagajob because with all of my time using snagajob since 2023 it’s just been fake job postings on there and with nothing refreshed, I highly recommend you don’t use this app EVER AGAIN. It’s just lies and deceit to put you in a trap and to make you feel depressed like
- [R82] LinkedIn Like there’s any choice: LinkedIn practically monopolizes the job market and gives heavy advantages to the employers rather than the employee. They spam you to pay for their premium services and yet can’t identified and verified a real person. The platform is crowded with so called ceos and job gurus. There’s no real authenticity to what these companies really are. They do not do anything about th
- [R89] LinkedIn LinkedIn: LinkedIn is an excellent platform for professional networking and career growth. It’s very useful for job seekers and professionals.
- [R10] Snagajob Won’t stay open: I want to like this app but I haven’t even been able to open it. I click on the app and it immediately takes me back to the Home Screen. Hopefully they have a good website because that’s where I’m headed.
- [R22] Snagajob Horrible: What’s the point of this app if it doesn’t registers Answers to required questions, preventing people from completing applications. Shut down the app, it’s a joke at this point. I’ll stick with Indeed
- [R67] LinkedIn Once I paid, it crashes every time I open it: Once I upgraded to premium. Every time I open the app on my iPad it prompts me for an update. And doesn't allow me to do anything. I click update. Which brings up the App Store. Asking me to open the app. And it starts all over again, prompting me for the update. I've deleted the app. Reinstalled the app. I can do nothing on LinkedIn. Because all I get
- [R81] LinkedIn How does this app get 4.8???: This app especially on the iPad is really cumbersome and difficult to use. LinkedIN has put little thought into making it a good experience. You have one app, one job things just don’t work well. I’d be paying for their upgraded subscription if I felt they would do a better job of something as simple as one app.
- [R1] Snagajob Needs fixing: App doesn’t work for me, it shows nothing when i search and click on closest to me. The screen just stays white
- [R40] Snagajob Doesn’t even work: It’ll be a lot of jobs that says urgently hiring and it’s like the app doesnt even work… no notifications or updates about anything this is why I stick with indeed
- [R73] LinkedIn CANT SIGN IN: It won’t let me sign in. I’m being led in circles. To approve a sign in, I have to “follow steps in your LinkedIn app” well I can’t. I’m trying to sign into the app. To sign in it says it will send an email to verify myself, in that email, it says “We noticed you recently tried to sign in to your Linkedin account from a new device. You can finish signing in to your LinkedIn account b
- [R88] LinkedIn Extremely slow application: Loading pages and editing my info takes too long which is super frustrating because I like the concept behind the app. This happens on both the website and app. I’d suggest having someone look into fixing this issue.
- [R61] LinkedIn Worst free trial: Joined to contact family member to talk about opportunities wouldn’t let me talk . So much work to even explore
- [R106] LinkedIn Used to be good, makes you pay money for nothing now: Cool concept but LinkedIn like other platforms has succumbed to paid tiers. The app handicaps you unless you pay monthly.
- [R112] LinkedIn Absolute scam: Do not pay for premium, will flood your inbox, generate no leads or pointless offers, and won’t let you easily unsubscribe. Don’t download or subscribe. Go to indeed.
- [R95] LinkedIn Only rating 5 starts so you’ll see it: I think it’s absolutely insane that it wants me to pay for looking at Jobs?? That’s so ridiculous!!
- [R100] LinkedIn Customer Service about hacked Account: I tried to Get my account back multiple times after finding out my account was Hijacked and now being impersonated, And now the LinkedIn customer service is just ignoring my plead, so if this doesn’t get resolved or have my Number Changed to my Actual number 1386, I Will personally File a Lawsuit For Discrimination Against My Data
- [R91] LinkedIn Verification process: The verification process is tedious and useless. I’ve spent over an hour trying to log into MY account, change password, etc. Nothing works. Please fix this, there are so many verification options and recaptcha is unreliable.
