Absolutely appalling app! The past 2 meetings with my uni have been through this and both times it wouldn't let me join my video appointment - it kept taking me back to the feed section! I thought maybe logging out and logging in would fix the issue but instead it won't even log me back in, insisting on sending me a verification code that SURPRISE never arrives! Unfortunately the careers service at my uni only use this awful thing and refuse to book appointments any other way! Totally useless!

This app isn't developed well for mobile devices. Tap in a search field and your keyboard comes up. Minimize your keyboard and the search feature goes away. Try again, type and search. You can only see the first five results as your keyboard covers the rest of the results. Minimize your keyboard and the search results disappear. Plus the popups asking you to turn on notifications is overkill. No means No.

I don't think this is the safest app for searching for a job. Maybe for internships, and it has a lot of listings that are actually entry level (something hard to find on job sites like Indeed/LinkedIn). I'm not sure what, if any, screening jobs go through on this site, but every single "employer" that has contacted me regarding an application has been a job scam.
