LinkedIn has become one of the standards for business connections and LinkedIn on Android is another great extension.
Paralleling the original browser-based website, LinkedIn is a simplified version that has all the same features, but with an app-centric focus.
Containing all the same sections, LinkedIn does a great job of supplying all the same content that is hosted online for easy access. Each section is displayed favoring the scrolling of the screen. LinkedIn also adds a news feed that users can subscribe to, showing different news from sites by category.
The focused nature of LinkedIn gives it strength because it focuses on the information users are looking for. From searching through connections to invitations, LinkedIn is still a great tool for professionals to use and connect with.
LinkedIn only has one real weakness and that is a lack of a settings option. Since LinkedIn models itself as a mobile version of the website, there are no function changes that need to be made, but as always visual changes are always welcome.
LinkedIn is an app that professionals should have. It is straightforward and built with simplicity in mind.
