Just after releasing its iPad app last month, business networking site LinkedIn has quietly launched a 'sophisticated' LinkedIn app for Windows Phone. The company calls it a treat for Windows Phone users as it says the new app is sleek and includes more features than Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android.
The app allows users to receive updates from their current connections, update profile, the latest LinkedIn news, groups you follow and your inbox. The LinkedIn app seems to offer quite a different experience from other OS, since it takes advantage of platform’s Metro UI and Live tiles.
According to the company, it has added two new sections: jobs and companies which are exclusive to Windows Phone. Thus, users can browse for jobs that are relevant and save them for viewing it later. However, they will not be able to actually apply to jobs through the app, as for that they need to go onto the browser-based site for that. Further, users can follow news and updates from specific companies.
It is a visually appealing app that offers easy navigation. The app offers pretty much speedy experience as an animated tile makes it much more convenient to view the content.
LinkedIn is a highly popular and effective job search tool that helps in research, networking and marketing oneself. And through this app, the company has taken a right step in the direction of making it more popular among the discerning users.
