Degreed 17+

Love the updated interface however I can no longer add any learning to my profile while I’m in the app and I can no longer click “share” and see the app as an option. Only thing the app is good for now is locating company assignments and other resources…. But majority of learning isn’t provided by the company.

I was able to see the corporate trainings after logging in with the single sign-on, but that ends there. After clicking any specific training it would bring me out to browse session that requires changing of password, and I don’t understand why the flow would work like that!? I was expecting it to go straight to the training and not redirected anywhere else.
The whole point of the single sign-on was to eliminate more credential entering and this app is doing the exact opposite.

I discovered Degreed through an ad on Pocket, and it seemed so useful that I linked it to my Pocket account immediately. It is an excellent service, and I like that I can still do all my reading in Pocket. I'm still learning the nuts and bolts of the site, but as an avid reader, it's great to have insight on everything I consume. And, I love being able to specify which topics I want to focus on.

When I created my account, I added several business subjects to my list of interests. (The signup process makes this service appear to be oriented toward businesspeople, but I've found it to work for everything so far.) Even with a topic as specific and divisive as "white privilege", I immediately received links to relevant, high-quality articles, rather than to myopic blog posts and angry radio host rants. And, as the program learns my interests, the articles are becoming even more useful.

I initially elected to receive daily reading suggestions through Slack. Now that I know about this app, I prefer to instantly review and save new items in-app. And, more importantly, I can save an article from Safari directly to Degreed, without having to first add it to Pocket. That function alone makes this a must-have.

When I installed this app, I had already set up an account at the Degreed site. So I can't speak to the account setup experience. But as an existing user, this app is a great add-on, and makes Degreed a far more convenient service.
