Review summary

User reviews consistently report core functionality issues: the app often fails with 'something went wrong', crashes, and random logouts, making essential actions unreliable. Users cannot search, apply for jobs, or upload CVs; the Help section is often unresponsive. The AI-driven search replaces traditional filters, producing low-quality, irrelevant results and more recruiter spam. Tinder-style job cards and non-available listings frustrate UX. Privacy concerns and login issues—captcha loops, cookie prompts, and unexpected profile creation—compound the frustration.

Pros

Cons

Frequent instability: errors like 'something went wrong', app crashes, and random logouts make core features unreliable.
Cannot perform core actions: users report inability to search, apply for jobs, or upload CVs; Help button often unresponsive.
AI search dominates results: traditional filters are removed or underused, yielding low-quality, irrelevant results and more recruiter spam.
UI/UX changes: Tinder-style job cards and listings that are not vacant frustrate users and reduce usefulness.
Login/registration and consent issues: captcha loops, login failures, cookie prompts, and profiles created without consent

2026-07-09	Bu*****	Very disappointing and misleading. XING presents some job listings as newly posted, while the actual job advertisements appear to date back to early 2025. This wastes applicants’ time and creates a false impression that the positions are current. A professional job platform should ensure that posting dates are accurate, transparent, and reliable.

2026-06-27	g8*****	I downloaded XING because I am planning to relocate to the DACH region in the future, and I am really impressed by how solid and well-organized the app is. It feels like the absolute right tool for getting a foot in the door with local employers and building genuine, professional connections. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to network in Germany, Austria, or Switzerland!!

2026-03-19	Ie*****	for 80 present of the time app just does not work: search for jobs - something went wrong, apply for a job -something went wrong. and it is a main functionality of the app. those problems makes app useless.
