This is a great app with a great UI, but the whole thing is just for companies to message college students about underpaid internships, spam you with messages for career events, and never follow up with prospects. Schools wasting their money on this program would be better off creating a SharePoint to house information. Its a shame because it has so much potential, but it's wasted.

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!

I can't say it's bad, it's how I got my first internship and it makes mass applications really easy. Looking at the 300+ jobs I applied to however, only 10% even viewed my application. This isn't really an app issue but more of an industry problem. What can be improved, is the very annoying bug I've been having on android that it doesn't remember my resume and I need to re-upload it for each job. This feature worked fine about 6 months ago so I'm unsure what happened.
