LinkedIn Windows app to be "retired".

[cnashx]

I received an email from LinkedIn today stating that they are "retiring" old apps and you have to upgrade to the new apps by January 15th, 2017. These apps are only avaible on iOS8+ & Android Ice Cream Sandwich MR1+.

So, now a company OWNED by Microsoft isn't supporting Windows Mobile... MEH.

Here is the exact verbage.

At the end of 2015 we launched a new version of our mobile and tablet app, bringing you everything you love about LinkedIn into a simplified, smarter and more intuitive experience.

It looks like you have used the older version of our app in the last few months and we wanted to let you know that we will no longer be supporting this older version after January 15, 2017. We hope that you’ll consider upgrading to our new app, which is available on the following mobile operating systems:
• iOS8 and higher (iPhone 5 and above)
• Android Ice Cream Sandwich MR1 (4.0.3/API level 15)
Upgrading to the new app is easy - prior to January 15 you'll receive a pop-up when accessing the app that will prompt you to upgrade to the new version. After January 15 you can upgrade through either the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). You can also access www.linkedin.com on your device’s web browser.

If you have questions or would like more information, please check out our Help Center. We'll look forward to hearing your feedback.

Just*received the same email moments ago. I was hoping for better support for Windows moving forward from LinkedIn but this email surely doesn't give hope to that. Anyone else have more details?
