Complete garbage.

Lefty_86

Re-release the news reader I paid for six years ago. That's all people wanted from this app. I paid for this app when it came out and when it was sold to LinkedIn they destroyed it. They turned into a burning trash pile that is completely unrecognizable and not even a shadow of the former app.

Ruined a good thing

The update is terrible and has made the app unrecognizable. Very obviously for the sake LinkedIn getting to direct traffic to where they want it versus letting users pick their news. Also these odd and short 5 star reviews from LinkedIn PR won't be enough to offset all the frustration from the people that loved what Pulse used to be.

LinkedIn destroyed this company

Tony Uncet

I don't know why someone would buy a company just to ruin it. The person responsible for this should be fired. The guys from Stanford that made this app originally sold out and let their baby get murdered.

One star till you fix your signin

Nothing worse than getting an alert and not being signed in. This seems to happen every week.

One word AWFUL

AWFUL, there said it again!

Unprofessional

iConUSA

Whoever did this ought to be cut off from future funding rounds and expelled from their alma mater. Seriously - could you not have simply written a new "LinkedIn news" app instead of cannibalizing Pulse ?! Think again! Then Think Different!

Loved the old version

Before LinkedIn f-ed everything. What's in the alternative app that everyone's using?

An Overwhelming Disappointment...

Ive been using this app since I discovered it 4 plus years ago. I have used it obsessively every day. I got on today to find that it was completely empty of my news feeds. I found the new version of this app and downloaded it. I miss the grid view that I have been so accustomed to all these years. But what was completely upsetting and even more infuriating is that my primary news sources of Cracked, Macrumors, Fail Blog, and Pitchfork are completely gone and unavailable. There is no control over this. They have copied Apple's news app. The original format and vast sources of news and articles was the only reason I had the app over any other app. Now I will never use it unless they change it back. Thanks for nothing!

Provoking & Concise

These articles fit my life and career. They are interesting and at times almost inspirational. The writing is good and clear. I look forward to a daily "lift".

News Reader for Your Work

Lawaivs

If you are looking for an app to feed you news based on what your professional connections are reading on LinkedIn, this app would suit you. However, I have no idea why they took over a completely different app that allowed you to tailor your newsfeeds based on personal preferences rather than those of your professional colleagues. Finally it seems there's a replacement (HeartFeed)!! I was really hoping that LinkedIn would decide to stop ruining their name and give us back the original Pulse by now. It was excellent, and I never found another reader that could match the format before now. I loved how you could scroll up and down across the content providers' rows of article thumbnails. Changing categories was also beautifully simplistic. The new app's user interface seems to emulate other readers that never matched up to Pulse. I am forced to scroll through the apps selection of articles in a more linear fashion (1 or 2 at a time). It takes me much longer to scroll through and find the media that I actually want. Regardless of how I curate this media, it interjects articles that are "trending on your extended network." Again, I don't care what my work colleagues are reading. I was hoping that you would give us back the fantastic reader that it was, but HeartFeed finally saved the day.
