Freezes mid-use
The app freezes and doesn’t work very well. The website works better.
United StatesBack button would really help
Great start just like the site but adding a back button would really help with UX.
United Statesapp doesn’t work at all, it’s bugged out
I can’t even use the app it just shows a white screen. It’s completely unusable and needs to be fixed
United StatesJust like the site!
I like that this app is just like the Idealist website. It’s so much easier to search and apply to nonprofit jobs.
United StatesGreat for finding social-impact work
This app is simple and easy-to-use. I love how it offers jobs at nonprofit organizations, as well as tools to help me in my social-impact career!
United StatesJobs posted are great, App functionality is really lacking
As others have shared, I recognize that Idealist itself doesn’t identify as a site for job seekers. The problem is two-fold: 1) the platform hosts excellent position descriptions, often ones that I don’t see listed elsewhere, and it beckons for you to use it for your job search 2) the actual job search feature and functionality is frustratingly awful. Start with the fact that jobs are lumped in with two other options that randomly shuffle when you open the app, daring you to click “Internships” by mistake because you moved faster than the shuffler. That is OBNOXIOUS. Second, it’s easy enough to like/save an interesting job but actually viewing those saved jobs later is an option hidden within several menus that are not intuitive. When you find a saved job, there is no way to mark it as applied or update the status to keep track. Rather, you can unsave it or just leave it there in perpetuity. WHY? If the career opportunities/job seeker feature is something that so many people want and would use (as evidenced in just these App Store reviews), why on earth wouldn’t Idealist jump on this? I don’t get it. Maybe they themselves can’t figure out the jobs feature enough to post a position to hire a developer to make it useful? Just a thought.
United StatesNot awful, but not far from it.
Their focus is certainly on the social aspect of the site, which I’ve never used. Like many, I downloaded to aid in my job search. It works for that. How well it works, however, depends on who you ask. It’s not terribly intuitive. In fact, at times, it seems purposefully confusing. In order to see the jobs and volunteering opportunities you have to scroll to the bottom and tap an unlabeled button. Why they thought this was a good idea, I do not know. Next comes the part I find most baffling, if not a bit infuriating. After tapping the unlabeled button and clicking “jobs - internships - organizations” you’re taken to a section where you can choose one of the three. The buttons are lined up at the bottom. The order of the buttons is randomized. Why. WHY is it randomized? When the page first loads, it will load in the order it appeared in the last time you visited. A millisecond later, it shuffles. So I’ve accidentally clicked the wrong thing many times. Apart from the strange decisions they’ve made with the UI/UX, it’s functional. You can search, the filters work well, etc etc. I feel a bit bad complaining about a free app that is genuinely helpful, but what the heck are these people thinking?

Idealist 4.0 overhauls the current app so job seekers can more easily search for jobs, internships, and volunteer opportunities. Remote jobs are now more easy to find. Access to job seeker tools and resources is improved. Ability to customize your job search has been added. Organizations can now use the app to post their listings, create profiles, access their dashboard, and use our applicant tracker. We have removed the social component of our previous app including the ability to have a public facing profile as well as search, save, and chat with other users.
