Wouldn't let me edit my profile! It let me open my profile, click the edit button, click the text box, my keyboard auto opens, but then nothing happens when I type or try to edit in any way. If I can't do even the simplest of things, I'm not sure how the app is supposed to be useful at all. Seems completely broken. I tried again after the latest update and it's still broken.

The search functionality doesn't work very well. Most employers are looking for interns and hiring out into the future. Limited prospects if you need a job this year and don't already have a degree. There's a lot of seemingly fake AI spam jobs. Messages don't open on mobile. The app overall is ok, but it's basically a LinkedIn clone for students.

Because you can't set job preferences for on-site or remote, and aren't matched by your actual resume skills or degrees, I often get "matched" or messaged by recruiters for jobs I can't apply to. They're either on-site and half a country away, or require degrees I don't have. Most of the recruiters are just copy pasting messages anyway and not actually engaging. So, this platform has not been very useful for my job search, and I'm very disappointed in it.
