Pay to Play
It’s that simple. You have to pay for access to these jobs.
This is a SCAM!
They wouldn’t pull up my account to cancel and claim they don’t have my info after I paid them a monthly subscription. This company is based out of Puerto Rico and will not issue a refund
Paying for nothing
Does not matter what job you apply for even if you’re overqualified the job doesn’t exist. Nobody hires from this app. Scam to take your money and time.
Ghost jobs
Dont waste my time, your fee isnt worth it
Don’t even bother
This app is a joke doesn’t even allow you to apply to anything. They’re just there and you have to pay a stupid subscription to apply. That seems kind of stupid.
It wasn't worth the money
FlexJobs was no different than indeed or linked in except it cost. Many of the companies I had never heard of, and I received just as many rejections as I do with the free job boards. The app itself was clunky, and it was easier to use the desktop version. I was hopeful about FlexJobs and that was my mistake. If you subscribe then don't get hopeful.
You have to pay money in order to apply for a job tf
Unbelievable that’s why no one uses this app. You have to pay money to apply for jobs. Never heard of this before anyway I’ll skip.
Not free have to pay to apply for anything waste of damn time
Waste of time can’t apply to anything without paying a fee
Must Pay to use
If someone’s looking for work, chances are they don’t have the $ to pay to apply.
Pay to Apply 👎👎
Just stick with your regular job sites!!
I don’t usually write reviews but trying to get people to pay so they can apply for jobs is actually insane!!

Bad
Have to pay to for a subscription to even apply or look at the company names
Not a free app
You can’t do anything unless you pay.. for that just charge to download the app because it’s useless unless you pay
Need to pay to see the company
When you’re unemployed, the last thing you need is your job search to bleed you dry financially.
Hard to Unsubscribe
You can’t unsubscribe from your subscription in the app at all. You have to email/ call them. I emailed them to unsubscribe me and they only unsubscribed me from the email/ news letter. I even emailed them a day before the deadline to be safe. Anyways I got charged $24 and they only refunded me back $11. Haven’t replied to my complaint emails yet. AND I GOT NO JOB CALL BACKS!!!!
It’s not worth it unless You have a Masters Degree
They are making money by charging applicants to subscribe for a service of showing you jobs that you probably won’t be eligible to get hired for.
Paying to apply is wild
If we looking for work 9 times out of 10 we need or want more money not a subscription fee
Unable to cancel Subscription
Self explanatory
Crashing
when i downloaded and try to open it it crashed every time.
Scam ville
Do not I repeat do not download this app. Impossible to cancel, keep changing me monthly, no real jobs to be seen. If you track these postings on whatever companies real website, you will see most of these jobs are literally non existent. Reporting to BBB immediately
Not happy
Not easy to use i have to keep customizing the account every time I want to apply. I have not got a single email back from applying here not even one and I have maybe done over hundred applications and I’m not even exaggerating it.
Waste of money
I have joined this app before and it is all garbage. You get no better visibility, never got a remote position after month of using it. You just lose $23 a month while filling out applications you could’ve found on indeed or any other website
Absolutely not.
Why would I pay to see job companies. You shouldn’t have to pay to apply for a job, if this isn’t a money laundering scheme I don’t know what is. Will absolutely not be using this company, and 95% of the reviews are people saying they got screwed out of money or it was a waste of time, I’m good!
pay to use
straight up u have to pay to apply to any jobs and none that pop up are even relevant
There are free alternatives!
You will have to pay just to apply, and the jobs are not exclusive for this app. Better apply for free somewhere else.
DONT USE THIS APP!!
NEVER NEVER NEVER put your card in this app! The charges you monthly payment for subscription you never took !
Terrible app
What a terrible app. I have to pay to apply? Really, that’s just insane
need to pay.
to even see the companies.
TERRIBLE
If you are paying for a job search application, then it should not be handing you over dead listings as though they are brand new. There has not been a single listing that I have looked through this app for that has been younger than a month old. All of them are completely old and dead. It is cataloging old dead listings enforcing you to pay to see them when they’re literally is not a single listing that actually meets your needs and is still viable. You will waste your money. It is a complete waste of money. I can’t believe that in 2026 that this is still a working application that people are paying for and that I was bamboozled for this amount of time. Google does better, Glassdoor does better, indeed does better, LinkedIn does better, literally every single Service does better and they’re free. You would think that for paying for it, they would actually check to see if the listings are still alive, but they are not! Because FlexJobs does not give a single F. You paid them and you’re dumb enough to pay them so stop using this app do not under any circumstances use this app. It is completely useless. You will save much more time by not doing so and save money.
Scam
Go on google the fact they got people to pay for stuff you can see for free is so funny to me that’s pathetic
Don’t pay for this service
Flexjobs is not easy to use and is not worth paying for. I have more success with other platforms.
Flex jobs if you want people to pay, make it so we can submit mass applications at once and automatically. Anything less is not worth paying for.

No success
Not only was I unable to receive one email or call back during the trial period i cancelled on the day of renewal. Customer service was very adamant about letting me know I should be grateful for the partial refund I received. Just stay away.
Garbage app
I couldn’t even get past the paying for a subscription part. It wants more verification than face recognition via Apple Pay. Keeps taking me to a screen showing my payment methods. Anything I do just takes me back to previous screens. Deleting this app.
Paying
They make you pay just to apply for the job. This app is pointless. If you don’t have the money then you can’t get the job but that’s the whole reason why you’re looking for a job.
Immediately deleted
Paying a subscription to a job search app is so dystopian, eww 🤢
Typical Big Tech TRASH
Posted with loads of questionable jobs that are so obnoxiously niche, hard to believe they’re even real. Waste of money, waste of accessibility to most job seekers, just more mindless Big Tech spin saturated in worthless content so the talentless hustlers at the top get that elitist brag money. No one wastes time and distorts progress like millionaire and billionaire Tech Trash.
Google does a better job
Nothing easy about using this app. Most of the job postings that were being shown to me were irrelevant, no real way to filter out jobs. Went to cancel my subscription, there is no spot to cancel only to delete my account, this kind of makes me feel like I’m being scammed. It should never be difficult to cancel a subscription. I hope that that means I’m not being charged now that I deleted my account But I have no idea. So sorry that I recommended this to my daughter also.
Not worth the subscription
FlexJobs feels more like a startup than a trusted job search platform. They promote top-level and remote opportunities, but most listings are mid-level or in-person roles. From the limited job options available, many are already closed or no longer active.
Their new AI autofill feature is clunky-it takes several steps to use, and applications often get stuck in a “pending” status. It’s honestly faster to type everything out manually.
After paying for a subscription, I feel scammed. There’s very little value here compared to free job boards that offer more up-to-date listings and a smoother experience. Save your money. FlexJobs isn’t worth it to me.

Don’t waste your money
The jobs won’t show until you pay and then after you pay they have a whole bunch of remote jobs that is SUPPOSABLY recently posted , click on the link it leads to the “company” website. Click’s application, they have a billion questions for you to answer on top of several questions you have to type in to answer. SCAM. You’ll never finish the application
Not worth it!
First it’s hard to even login on google, I paid for a membership, I had applied to jobs once that day I became a member but everytime I would go on it again it wanted me to pay to become a member never gives me an option to login. I downloaded the app and of course I need to now upgrade to find jobs. WTH! Cancel my membership!
Don’t waste your time/money
I got this app and I paid the 2 week access. No jobs called me back. I then paid a couple of monthly payments to keep it. No jobs called me back. I then paid the annual fee of $71 and still I didn’t receive any employer responses but ALSO, 2 months after I paid the annual fee, my access was revoked and I was no longer able to use the features I paid for. I reached out to customer service and received a pointless email. I reached out to them AGAIN more aggressively asking they either restore my access or give me a refund and they responded with instructions to cancel the subscription and request a refund through Apple. But Apple does not let me request a refund so I paid over $70 for absolutely nothing and they just took my fee and ran with it.
Can't close
I have made several attempts online to close my FlexJobs account through the app on the computer. I did close it in July and it says it expired and closed in July. I got charged a month later now is the end of August and I got another charge and they won't refund it. So don't open a FlexJobs account!
Don’t waste your time
Most of the postings are old, expired or they have already hired someone but you wont know that until you’ve gone through the long process of applying. It is not worth it.
Not worth it
The perks are not worth the inability to cancel. It’s almost impossible! Depending on how and where you purchased the subscription makes it that much harder. I can’t even sign into my account online without paying at least $2 for a 14-day limitless access that I don’t want bc I want to stop paying $25 a month for a sub I don’t need!!! I’m a tech-savvy 45-year-old. It’s obviously made to be difficult so you keep paying. I’m not a fan of keeping customers through methods like this. Just not a pleasant experience.
Only for Engineer
If you’re not an Engineer don’t even bother to try this app. There is only IT jobs posted and anything else is worthless as a remote job. Also I tried to get a refund and it’s impossible, so I gave up on this app.
Great jobs, but needs fixed asap
This app has the best and most vetted jobs out there. Giving 1 star as a last ditch effort to get a response from them. Over the last 3 weeks something has gone wonky on both the app and the site. My search gives me 10 day old postings, then two days later there’s a dump of jobs that posted 5 days before. The sort by date doesn’t work on the app anymore, and it’s not an option on the web version. I reached out twice by email, no response. Finally cancelled my subscription, and outlined the problem in my cancellation, and clearly a bot answered because in no way did it address this problem. Also, my “suggested jobs” don’t match my profile at all. They suggest jobs that require an RN (I’m not a nurse) or a Bachelors (I have an Associates). That seems like such an easy program fix, I can’t wrap my head around it. I hate to leave the app, but something has messed up and I can’t get a response. Once it’s fixed, I highly recommend it.
Tough Job Applications
I’m trying to apply for a job but I have to pay a subscription in order to look for and apply for those jobs like I’m looking for a job for a reason.
Are you kidding?
You can’t even apply for anything unless you pay for an “upgrade” what’s the point of the basic plan? To see that there MAY be opportunities, just pay and find out… What?!?
Beware. Difficult to cancel
No jon responses. Fake feeling. But they get your money and make it extremely difficult to cancel. I was looking to cancel on day six. I’m still being charged.
Must pay to apply
The worst app for jobs. Why would I pay to view jobs to apply for? Save your time and energy and do not download this scam!!!!
Having people pay to find a job is crazy
You need to pay a subscription yes a subscription to find a job if it doesn’t make sense to you it’s because it doesn’t no where else do you need to pay to even see what jobs are available and most of them are scams and outdated but like seriously if I’m looking for a job aka a source of income why are you charging me money to get more money we get taxed enough I’m not paying a “looking for a job” tax be fr
