With your app, I think the job search process would be much more manageable and digestible. I like the simplicity of the app and that it only shows you one or a few things at a time so I don't get overwhelmed. It was very easy to navigate and user friendly.
If you were aiming for a professional feel, you nailed it! I liked how easy it was to navigate. And I really liked looking at one job at time.
