Staff Me Up

I’ve had an account with SMU for almost two years now and I’ve only booked one gig, but it did end up paying for the subscription, so there’s that cost/benefit analysis. My issue is I just downloaded the app so that I can apply to gigs faster, but my pre-saved cover letters are getting cut off by the text box and there’s no way to scroll down. I would love to be able to read the entire cover letter over again before I submit for the job!!

First of all, I’m confused as to why they made an entirely new app. I didn’t receive and email about it. I went for weeks with the old app not working and had to go to my computer for every job that came through which wasted valuable time.Took a while to find the Work Alerts. Too many taps to find. It should be front and center. If you’re going to hide something from the front page, it should be the unfiltered feed of every single job everywhere. Nobody needs to see every single job on their front page. I want to see the email come through about a job, and then open the app to see the same job staring me in the face. Don’t make me hunt for it.

Sure, the app looks great but it lost all the functionality from its old version. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy the text has been formatted to fit newer iPhones; however it loses so much functionality. Theres no alert interface(like in previous versions), the app doesn’t dismiss jobs already applied(present in the old version)& there’s STILL no way to access direct messages. Just feel like a step backwards, has me questioning who exactly this app was designed for, because I’m still opting out for the mobile browser version everytime. Disappointing
