LinkedIn has launched its latest App called 'Lookup', which will make it easier to connect with co-workers. It also helps to find co-workers with specific skills or responsibilities. LinkedIn Lookup App is now available for iOS users and it is completely free. This App is compatible with iOS 8.0 or higher. Unfortunately, this App is not available for Android or Windows Phone users.
Earlier this year, LinkedIn surveyed 814 professionals in North America and found that just 38% use their companies intranets to get data about coworkers and about 58% of workers said they could do a better job if they could find co-workers with a specific set of skills. LinkedIn also said that 30% of its users who searched for other users were actually looking for co-workers profiles. The company also claimed on its blog that the new app would make professionals more productive and successful by helping them easily find, learn about, and contact their co-workers.

LinkedIn further said on it blog post: 'Users in the Lookup app can also set their contact preferences, thus letting others to get in touch using the contact numbers. If no contact preference is given, users either can send a message from within the Lookup app or can email directly to their LinkedIn work email ID'. The users can moreover message co-workers, and if the recipient does not have Lookup installed, they would receive the message in their LinkedIn inbox. The company has however made it clear that messages sent to the LinkedIn inbox will not be counted as InMails.
