★★★★ Yurii 1/12/2026 v25.48.0p
Editor is horrible. Randomly doesn't work button Save, randomly fails max count of characters. Impossible to work without website.
★★★★ H. 1/5/2026 v25.48.0p
App keeps stopping every time you open a post. App logs you out randomly.
★★★★ Sascha Hlusiak 11/6/2025 v25.42.0p
Tinder style like and dislike for job recommendations? Where do these jobs go? Why do I rate jobs that are currently occupied? Why is there only an AI search? Who has asked for any of these features?? I do not understand what this app is trying to be.
★★★★ Asfandyar Shafi 9/30/2025 v25.37.0p
for Europe
★★★★ Dom Food 9/21/2025 v25.35.1p
Absolutely worthless since it started just showing dating app style cards of jobs which are not vacant. Why do you send me emails telling me people are interested in my current job? What are you even trying to achieve these days?
★★★★ Asif Khan 8/20/2025
useless
★★★★ Sandeep Singh Kodan 8/18/2025
I'm going to uninstall it as it is not useful.. I have been using this for the last 4 years.
★★★★ Sandeep Singh 8/17/2025
Not useful at all... even after paying it's useless..
★★★★ ravi teza 8/11/2025 v25.30.0p
Unfortunately the Xing platform has simply degraded over time. There is no focus on Networking. Also the UI's focus on swiping right or left for jobs feels anything but a networking or a job search platform. Xing has to make up its mind what it needs. If it wants to be a job search platform, then searching the job should be easy and no AI prompting is necessary. And for the love of God, please remove the swiping feature when I open the app, this is not a dating app.
★★★★ Nikolai 7/28/2025 v25.28.1p
When I created a résumé on a website, a Xing profile was created without my consent. It was very difficult to delete this profile again. Very unprofessional.
★★★★ ramswarup nath 6/8/2025
very bed
★★★★ Etel B 6/5/2025
E-mail registration fails, resetting password hangs, connecting to Google account fails...
★★★★ Nicolas 4/18/2025 v25.13.2p
German focused app, not much to do with it, or you work for them and enrich their database by filling out the forms for companies that are abroad, free of salary of course 🤔. The app is not really free to use... So, don't expect to find a LinkedIn alternative here...
★★★★ Arshad Ahmad 4/11/2025 v25.11.0p
login issue all the time . pathetic application
★★★★ Arup Kumar Nag 12/17/2024 v24.48.0p
Please make this App better. It's just asking for money everytime.
★★★★ Gamo Tech25 11/20/2024 v24.45.0p
it's scam, to get your infos for advertising by other companies.
★★★★ Jes Sorensen 11/13/2024 v24.43.0p
Nothing but a spam service They junkmail with unwanted mail because you may have had an account with them ten years ago that was never used given how useless the service was. Blatant lack of respect for people. To make matters worse their staff is rude as can be seen from the response. Reply on German to feedback in English.
★★★★ kamal singh 7/22/2024 v24.10.1m
I am using 4 months this application but no response
★★★★ Abd ullah 7/12/2024 v24.26.0m
The app was working fine initially then it started saying: "Sorry, but something went wrong. Please try again" whenever I try to connect with someone. Now I cannot even send a connect request. I even updated it but the issue is still there. On support there is nothing that says how to report the issue and there is no information whatsoever on how to resolve it. Bad experience.
★★★★ F 6/27/2024 v24.24.1m
While logging in, it's not getting login and showing that "Sorry but something went wrong please try again". I tried many times not working even after reinstall. I'm very much disappointed 😔😔😔
★★★★ David Zhang 4/16/2024 v24.14.1m
Login does not work. So it does not work at all.
★★★★ Shreya Bs 2/24/2024 v24.6.1m
I signed up and literally on the first page of entering details my account was blocked. No response to email queries.
★★★★ A K 2/3/2024
Make Xing better. Paid subscription is so expensive and still this app is no better than LinkedIn. Please make this better.
★★★★ Ruben Ucaggi 1/28/2024
Worst app I ever downloaded. I keep getting spammed on my email even if I deactivated all notifications and uninstalled the app.
★★★★ Abdullah Mateen 1/8/2024 v24.0.1m
It's ask money.. it's giving random cities with unrelated fields... Worthless
★★★★ Philipp Hoensbroech 11/21/2023 v23.36.1m

★★★★ Solomon Nwabueze 5/14/2023 v23.12.1m
Late notification!!😭
★★★★ Akash Rabinal 3/25/2023 v23.8.1m
Wrost experience.
★★★★ Svitlana Mitrovic 12/11/2022 v22.22.1m
I've used the premium subscription about a year and everything was ok. But soon after canceling premium, my account was simply deleted, with all contacts...
★★★★ Herman Wartburg 12/1/2022 v22.22.1m
Articles featured by Xing have mutated to meaningless rubbish. Even yellow press is more professional. Unclear timeline thematically grouped in HORIZONTAL groups on a vertical screen.... pointless. Profile information in different - equally confusing places. Why do I HAVE to enter a job description and an employer? What about people who don't have that right now? What is the app supposed to be good for then? And by the way: nobody that I'm aware of uses this app for professional networking.
★★★★ M S 11/5/2022 v22.6.0l
It is still Need a lot of improvement compared to other Apps , paying and revoke subscription notification must be improved. After one year and half I'd say it was Uninteresting experience .
★★★★ Rohit Saroj 10/21/2022 v22.19.1m
Its not working on my tab. Internet is working. Still, showing app has no connection. pls resolve
★★★★ Aleksandr Stepanov 10/8/2022 v22.18.1m
Ich konnte die Vor- und Nachteile der Anwendung und des sozialen Netzwerks nicht bewerten. Konto ohne Begründung gesperrt.
★★★★ Wolfgang Roth 8/26/2022 v22.15.1m
Poor possibilities without paying. So I am only checking it once a while
★★★★ Axel Dyks 8/19/2022 v22.14.1m
dark mode?
★★★★ Asad Shah 8/13/2022 v22.14.1m
Poor platform just waste of time! LinkedIn is way better
★★★★ Mira Rose 7/21/2022 v22.12.1l
Poor app premium fee renews it self. 😏
★★★★ Jake Tee 5/26/2022
I was downloading the app butt reading through the reviews whilst the app was downloading made me uninstall immidiately ! Thanks for the heads up people. I hate companies who don't end yearly subscriptions fair and square and bad customer service to top it off it is a good stay clear sign !
★★★★ SHAMSUL HUDA 5/1/2022
I want to stopy my premium membership. Kindly stop. this month 2800Rs has be detected automatically from my account kindly refund it also. there is no benefit to use this app.
★★★★ Naveen Dinakar 4/29/2022 v22.7.2l
Money minded application with no benefits
★★★★ appala rahul 4/25/2022 v22.7.1l
Cancellation of the subscription is not transparent and I feel like I was being looted by Xing because of their worst subscription cancellation system.
★★★★ Chizurum Michael 4/21/2022
Don't know what's wrong with this app I have been trying to download it but it's not working Pls try and work on it
★★★★ Michael Völske 3/30/2022 v22.5.0l
You have to give three weeks notice to cancel your premium membership. Hey, the 90s called, they want their shady business practices back!
★★★★ Anne Iheanacho 2/17/2022 v22.2.0l
Account suddenly got blocked. I've written them couple times asking for the reason why I got blocked. No response!!!!
★★★★ Archie 2/15/2022 v22.2.0l
If there is anything thing lower than one 🌟 I would have given it , I waste my data and time for this stupid app, within some hours I can't log in again ,the start telling me trash ,just give me back my data bundle
★★★★ m g 2/2/2022 v22.1.1l
for some reason the app chat only supports uploading images but not pdfs. Weird for a business networking application.
★★★★ Florian B 1/26/2022 v22.0.1l
I am very dissapointed. The app has a lot of errors, the same as the webservice. I am trying since weeks to retrieve my password. The support was useless... When I decided to cancel the subscription, another big surprise. The proces is hidden and even after you find it, it s full of errors so you can't do a thing. TRY IT. Finally managed to write them... already 3 times. No answer. Really Xing? This is how you plan to compete to Linkedin?? Or just trying to show this amazing service quality.
