About LinkedIn

LinkedIn is the professional network on a phone: job listings with salary ranges and applicant counts, a profile that works as a public CV, connection suggestions with mutual counts, and a feed of business posts. Applying and networking are free. Premium subscriptions run from $29.99 to $69.99 a month, and the app's Android rating is among the lowest here.

LinkedIn Review: Free to Apply, $29.99 to See More

Job Listings Show Salary and Applicant Numbers

A listing here carries what a job board usually hides: an estimated salary range, how many people have already applied — 49 in the store example — the company's size, the commute time from your saved location, and how many alumni of your school or previous employers work there. Applying is one button, often without leaving the app. Job alerts can be set per search and arrive in notifications alongside invitations and work anniversaries, which is the part of the app most people actually open. Saved searches and applied-job tracking sit in the same tab, which keeps a job hunt in one place rather than in a spreadsheet.

Premium Costs $29.99 to $69.99 a Month

The free account covers profiles, connections, applications and messages. Premium Career, at $29.99 or $39.99 a month depending on the plan, shows who viewed your profile, how you compare with other applicants and adds direct messages to recruiters. Premium Business is $69.99. Both offer free trials, which is how most people end up subscribed. The Play listing also carries a Contains ads badge — sponsored posts sit in the feed and promoted jobs in search results. Prices are US listings. None of the paid features change whether an application is seen; they change what you can see about everyone else applying.

Fourteen Data Categories, Including Sensitive Information

Apple's privacy card is unusually blunt: purchases, financial information, location, contacts, user content, search history, identifiers, usage data, sensitive information and diagnostics, used for third-party advertising as well as analytics and personalisation. Google Play counts fourteen collected categories. The store ratings then split sharply — 4.8 on the App Store against 3.9 across 3.49 million Play reviews, one of the widest gaps here, with Android complaints centred on the feed and notification volume. For an app that holds a professional history and a CV, that list is worth reading before uploading anything.

Verdict

Necessary rather than enjoyable: job listings with salary ranges and applicant counts are genuinely better than most job boards, and applying is free. The reasons for the low Android score are visible from the first launch — a feed nobody asked for, constant notifications and repeated premium prompts. Read the data card before uploading a CV: fourteen categories, including what Apple labels sensitive information.

Core function8.0Job search, applications and professional profiles work well; the feed adds little.

Ease of use7.0Five tabs, heavy notifications, and premium prompts appearing throughout the interface.

Monetisation6.0Ads in the feed, promoted jobs in results, and subscriptions from $29.99 a month.

Performance7.0A heavy install with a feed that keeps loading video in the background.

Privacy & permissions4.5Fourteen categories including sensitive information, used for third-party advertising.

Frequently asked questions

Is LinkedIn free?

The useful half is. Building a profile, connecting, messaging contacts and applying for jobs all work without paying, funded by advertising — the Play listing carries a Contains ads badge. Premium adds visibility features, starting at $29.99 a month with a free trial.

What do job listings show?

An estimated salary range, the number of applicants so far, company size, commute time from your saved location, and how many people from your school or previous employers work there. That combination is what makes the listing worth reading before deciding whether to apply.

What does Premium add?

Seeing who viewed your profile, comparisons against other applicants for a role, and messages to recruiters outside your network. Premium Career costs $29.99 or $39.99 a month depending on the plan; Premium Business is $69.99. Both start with a free trial that renews automatically.

Can you apply for jobs without Premium?

Yes — applications, job alerts and messages to people you are connected with are all free. Premium changes what you can see about the competition rather than whether you can apply. For most job hunts the free account is enough, and the trial is worth timing to a specific search.

What are the alternatives?

Indeed carries more listings with less networking and a shorter data card. A company's own careers page avoids both. This one is unavoidable in most professional fields because recruiters work here, which is exactly why it can charge $69.99 a month.
