Good morning Dan,
I have not tested Linked-in mobile in the past year, so my info may be out of date. I can say that we found them to be quite inaccessible with the vary problems you are reporting. They are well aware of the issues with their site and I am saddened to learn that they have not attempted to address the accessibility issues with their product. I agree with you that there is no reason why they could not address the accessibility issues with Linked-In.
Best,
Terri

Subject: [VICUG-L] LinkedIn Phone App
Hello All,
Have any of you used the iPhone version of the LinkedIn app? I'm running into a problem where when I select the My Network tab, all I can see is a list of suggestions. Even when I scroll down, and I can't get the app to show me a list of people I have in my network. I tried looking at my profile to see if I could get the list there, but that didn't work. The website is marginally accessible and it is possible to scroll down to the bottom of the page in the My Nnetwork tab. Unfortunately, both in the phone app, and the website there are lots of unlabeled buttons, and drop-down menus which don't always work. To make matters worse, both the website and app constantly lose focus when navigating using keyboard commands or screenreader commands.
LinkedIn technical support suggested using some workarounds, but that doesn't really solve the problems. If other social media companies can make their sites and apps accessible, why not LinkedIn?
Thanks,
Dan
