Just deleted this pitiful app!! So unhelpful!! A trashy, garbage app wouldn't recommend at all!! If I could give zero stars I would!!
horrible in not sending alerts for jobs
completely broken after the update. Literally useless.
Years after Ive deleted my info & this app people are saying they got my information from Monster! 😡 PLEASE DELETE MY ENTIRE ACCT INFO. People who barely speak English call me daily 3 and 4 calls text messages, emails & I just want it to all go away bc they are offering me jobs I've never showed interest in or liked. Please delete my account from Monster if I have one I'm just so sick of these ppl. I decline these make shift jobs daily. Hybrid jobs that I definitely Do Not Want. Go Away!!
poorly designed app, why does it require your resume or info after you've made an account to do anything it should be optional to give more info.
jobs weren't good
More advertisements than actual jobs!
I clicked apply on many jobs with error message saying it could not complete the action.
Hasn't helped whatsoever. Can't filter results properly so while I'm looking for a job driving as someone who does NOT have a CDL, all I get are CDL job listings.
ever since I made an account I have been hit with so many spam calls and fake jobs it's not even funny. If you're gonna sell my data off at least goddamn tell me. 0/5, or 10, don't use this.
nothing but medical and trucking.
app doesn't work
99% of the jobs on the platform are fake! The amount of job opportunities that are literally Indian Call Center Scams using Monster as their way to scam you out of your personal and financial information, is way too high to consider the entire Monster platform not complicit!
Scams, scams, and more scams. You can't flag job ads as scams or for any other reason. You think you are applying for some job with a certain company but get a weird email from something similar. Maybe a similar logo and company name or just plain different. They want you to pay money to take a course for $100s of dollars for training. For a trucking dispatcher with American Logistics Authority I received an email from Truck Drivers Nation wanting me to pay up to $4,000 for a dispatcher course.
Very poor operations. Receive emails daily, and when I click on them it takes me to a screen saying "We didn't find any jobs matching your criteria. Please modify your search and try again." I sent a message over 2 weeks ago, and have no response.
They cant get the app to work, you think they can help with finding you a job?
the functionality is horrible
A BUNCH OF DEAD ENDS... NO REAL JOB LEADS, NO CALL BACKS, NO JOBS... 😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬
Horrible app !!!
App doesn't even let me create an account
This app is busted right now. Idk why but I can't login, signup, or even reallt use it as a guest. it's stuck. It works as a website, but i dont like the layout, and the filter is basically useless. I've had better luck and help on ziprecruiter and indeed.
DO NOT GET THIS APP!!! In concept it's wonderful but in execution it is a gateway for tons of illegitimate and sometimes illegal jobs to get fresh pickings. There's also a ton of scam/fake listings that either just don't call back or that will send you relentless amounts of scam calls. Do not get this app if you are looking for safe and legitimate work, there are far better apps.
all the challenges we have already finding work, and this app don't even work. well done adding to the b.s. we are dealing with already
Create account and login buttons don't work. You mean to tell me after this was reported in December of 2025, this is still a problem in March of 2026?!?!? I don't think I can trust this app after seeing recent reviews of the same problem.
I've had this app for about a month and still is not working I don't know what's going on with it I am getting the notifications but soon as I click on it it takes me to the app but it says error there's absolutely nothing on any of the pages even when you go to type in your location and a title still nothing pages are completely blank
Can't remember my password but it's NOT sending me a password reset link to my email. Several attempts to try for a password reset failed. Ok. Well, bye. I wanted to use Monster, but I'll go use another app since this one doesn't want my business.
There's not one thing on my resume that specifies that I have any experience in the medical field, yet 95% of the jobs I receive are in the Medical field! It's a waste of my time. I keep hoping though.
Came back to look for jobs and found a completely non-functional app. I can hardly use any features on a Samsung galaxy Zfold 6. please fix the app.
I get an error message when going into profile, there no jobs when searching for any. Im honestly removing the app now cause its a waste of space if it doesn't work.
didn't work ok ny phone
I tried to create a account and your application doesn't verify my email address. Google address is also a email address but you won't accept that email address system so you should let people know that they can not use Gmail address to create a account.
Cannot filter out remote postions, making the app entirely useless.
very limited information
The login button in the app doesn't work
First off ...when trying to apply for a job I am hit with spam education and job websites, not the company website if which I am applying for. Second... when I imported my resume it did not put it in chronological order, and I see no way to fix this. Third..... even putting my exact location I still am receiving jobs in other states like New York Chicago, ect...and a ridiculous amount of spam. Monster was at one time the go to for employment seeking. Nope !!!!....going back to indeed.
difficult
Can't even upload resume from word. Not very user friendly. Can't filter search. 95% of the jobs have been there over 30days.
once you find a job you are interested in you can't apply for it it keeps saying try again?
not one job has been shown that I qualify for. all I seem to get is medical jobs when I searched for stocker or stocking. Pathetic and worthless job matching algorithm. needs a serious overhaul to fix looking for stocker jobs and come up with a surgeon or medical assistant.
simulates africans
The app won't allow me to load any information about myself or my resume for potential employers.
never download this if looking for money
there needs to be an option to say if the job is a bad match not to recommend jobs of this category. I job alerts all the time that have nothing to do worth my skills and background.
freezes and doesnt let you complete applications
Wouldn't even come up with any jobs, when all I did was enter the city I'm in? Indeed, Zip Recruiter, and Glassdoor all work much better, and I'd say are easier to navigate. Unfortunate, but this felt like a waste of time to install and sign up, just to get absolutely no results. Maybe I did something wrong, it misunderstood something, but I've uninstalled it already.
No jobs on site
this used to be a great app, however now its totally useless
Awful app
First time using it and it won't even allow me to make an account. Clicking "create account" does nothing. Indeed is terrible but at least I have an account there.
the app won't let me
