LinkedIn 1.6.0
The dedicated client for Windows Phone allows anyone to stay in touch with people in their groups, follow companies and view jobs that could be of interest.
Easy to use and well organized GUI
LinkedIn comes with a clean layout that has a decent look and is focused on providing ease of access to all the sections and functions of the utility. The live tiles, on the Start screen and inside the app offer a quick glance at the latest details that you might find interesting.
The updates you add are refreshed promptly and you can see them in the corresponding section of the application. The navigation through the menus, articles and long lists of items is smooth for the most part, with a slight delay when loading a new set of items at the bottom of the results list when using the built-in search.
Quickly access to the most important areas of LinkedIn
The Windows Phone client for this service is similar in many ways to the online version, but it still doesn't offer all the features you can find on the website. Nonetheless, you can still access a lot of information and get connected with professionals worldwide through the "Groups" and "Companies" sections.
The news area is filled with useful information, while the search function is able to help you locate jobs you may like, as well as people and companies. LinkedIn also enables you to save the work offers and it provides a lot of well-targeted suggestions for new positions corresponding to your experience and current occupation.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
The simple and dull design of the application is very little focused on being visually appealing to its users. Instead, it offers a practical front-end for accessing all the functions and the content sought after by the user. |
Function7
The built-in features are very good for managing group subscriptions, followed companies and quickly searching for jobs or reading the top news. Nonetheless, there are many functions, including those for account management that are missing from this app. |
Security5
This utility requires access to almost every corner of the system and looks into many sensitive areas where personal data is stored, without having anything to do with the actual functionality. |
Battery8
The application needs a moderate amount of power to run properly, so the battery usage remains within normal limits for most of the time. |
Price9
A valuable client app for all those who want to access LinkedIn on the go, this tool offers a good deal of functions and information, all for free. |
Compatibility9
Most Windows Phone users will be able to have this app installed onto their devices as it works with version 7.5 and above of the operating system. |
