LinkedIn is an Android app that aims to achieve the same functionality as its web-based counterpart that enables professionals to network with each other.

The main purpose of LinkedIn is to make professional networking as easy and painless as possible. Its website achieved fame for being the first platform to successfully tackle this task and remain usable. As times have gone on, it became necessary for a mobile version of the website to be produced. However, it's difficult to pack in all this functionality on a website, so its developers decided to make an Android app instead.

The first main factor to look at with this app is whether it has all the same functionality as the web interface. Once the user learns all the ins and outs of the app, it does. However, there is more of a learning curve with this app than the LinkedIn website itself. Even for experienced users, the dizzying array of menu options can be disconcerting and sometimes difficult to figure out. Once the user has all this down, the app can be much more conducive to productivity.

LinkedIn's Android app has many features that are similar to Facebook's Android app. For example, users can easily post status updates and send "connection requests" to other professionals. The app's performance was comparable to the website's performance, and sometimes it was even a bit faster because many of the graphical components are already downloaded and stored locally.

Overall, LinkedIn's Android app is a great start to a successful franchise. The menus can be difficult to navigate, but if you're a professional who needs to network, there isn't anything that comes close to LinkedIn in terms of member count and quality of service. The mobile app has some shortcomings, but in its defense, it has all the functionality that LinkedIn users have come to expect, even with a few additions. As long as you have a mobile internet connection, you'll be able to get all the work done that you need to with LinkedIn.
