XING – the right job for you App Reviews

Facebook has shown how an iPhone app for communities should look like. Xing did a first step in the same direction and brings basic functionality (addressbook, messages and network news) to the iphone. However, they should add more functionality like calendar and improve convenience to to reach the same level.

This doesnt really offer anything more than the iPhone optimized web page (or the web app respectively) does, which is pretty disappointing -- they kind of missed the goal here... Also its pretty sad that the devs providing an app for a German based community system seem to be too lazy to actually include German localization...! :( For now Im sticking with the web app, until they come out with a serious native iPhone application...this is not it...!

Keep getting the "connection to the server failed message".

Downloaded straight after receiving the newsletter. Less features than the (actually well done) web site - no unique features. Not very rewarding. Will remove immediately.

If I could give it 0 stars I would. Pretty meaningless app offering far less than the website. Hopefully this is just a beta that should have never been released.

Very nice app. Very helpful.

It does not start it just crashes... FIX THIS!!!

Once again Facebook Leads the Pack. Quality and pacewise. At least you should have the funcs that fb offers.

Want to connect to your account for the first time? This app launches Safari. Want to reply to an invitation that you will not attend an event? This app again launches Safari for you to again sign in. Drawing from LinkedIns model and the ever impressive Facebook app, there were solid examples to mimic to create an intuitive, simple experience for the busy professional user. This is surprisingly poor.

No replacement for the browser / online version. If this app is aiming to compete with the likes of LinkedIn for iPhone, it has a long way to go.

The app is designed superbly making it very easy to use! I cant wait till more features are included, it is just a matter of time! XING are definitely moving in the right direction with the iPhone app! Great work!

Lots of stuff is taken from facebook,but that is ok as it is really useful that way! Now it is a real networking app, unlike the previous version of it.

Basic but ok. Lots of features to come I hope. Nice simple interface though.

I think it works great! I also love the handshake feature! Great idea!

No iPad Version? Really? Fail!

No one I know uses Xing. Most use LinkedIn. Needs more features, (news, etc. )

Cant send or receive messages with latest update!

Almost the same app, only difference is, that you are not able to update your profile information and it is not known as much as LinkedIn here in the USA. Linkedin is much better, Xing needs to catch up with the competitors. Need to see my profile? Check LinkedIn under my name. Thank you

Very useful for business partners from different countries!

Cannot update or change profile on app.
