Yik Yak Pros

✓ Great, just needs technical work.I had no idea about Yik yak until the week it was brought back, but it’s pretty neat being on a college campus. I have not seen the bullying which it seems to have been previously known for, and it’s fun to get a sense of what the community is feeling, along with just funny posts. However, in my first week of using it, 2/3 of the time it would say there were no posts in the area, even sitting in the exact same spot, and would often not load all of them at once. Now the first issue is resolved, but it sometimes takes a couple tries of opening and closing the app or refreshing and waiting to get posts from further back to load. I understand that there are probably 100 other posts saying this exact thing, but I enjoy this app a lot and would hate to see its momentum stopped by technical issues..EegnegnwbrqVersion: 1.0.6

✓ Great App, Great ImprovementsThis app is great and is exactly what it says it is. Lots of people leaving low reviews are reviewing the people on the app rather than the app itself. Considering how quickly they update and patch things, it’s clear the team is working hard to make sure this app is good. They even listen to our advice with things such as adding the ability to upload things from our camera roll. So thank you to the Yik Yak team for creating an app and constantly improving said app to ensure we are all having a good time using it. If you’re feeling upset that the app is full or drags and people wanting to get drunk, consider the environment you’re living in and how you can change that rather than expecting people from an HQ in Nashville to do so..Ann AdeleVersion: 2.0.9

Yik Yak Cons

✗ Convinced they’re trying to kill it to try to gain users on another appNew update loves- anonymous commenting, gifs, and polls. Bad update bad- basically turned into Reddit I hardly use Reddit and I don’t want a second one. The stream of consciousness of everyone nearby was what made it fun. Now you have to go to ur subreddit school, AITA etc. you can no longer copy comments. It was a fun way to create a stream of comments and just adjust it slightly. Also if you’re going to remove the distance then remove blocks!!! I have a stalker who literally just blocks and unblocks me to see if I post anonymously and then proceeds to harass me. I know I can report them but I’d rather keep tabs on their craziness. So maybe just remove the blocks otherwise removing radius is mute point. I like the idea of groups but miss the world wide featured college posts. Posting the apps own gifs and getting a timed ban is ridiculous. I got flagged for not saying anything but posting a picture of the apps own gif 💀 so does that mean yy is flagged like what?.TbsinmeabiVersion: 4.0.1

✗ Fantastic but the Notification Tab Needs WorkI love checking this app and engaging with my fellow people on campus, but the app really needs to update its notification tab to show more of a preview of what Yak it’s referring to. The notification of “someone else commented on a yak you commented on” is helpful, and I want to check in on the thread, I love that. But, it doesn’t tell me which Yak that is. I have to tap that notification, wait 10 seconds for the Yak to load and then I end up checking the responses on that entire Yak. Right after that, you turn around and go back to the notification tab, and the indicator light for the notification you left is still on. You might be thinking, “Oh, just refresh it!”. Nope, if you do that, it gets rid of all the indicator lights for new notifications. So now, you have to guess what the next notification you should check is with no help from the exactly the same notification descriptions. I would suggest having a feature that changes the notifications from individual updates on each new message in the thread, to instead being one that says “New comments on Yak, ‘XYZ’” standing for the first couple words of that Yak. This way, it’s labeled and it’s streamlined because in the old system, I was getting all the updated messages in a Yak from just clicking on the first notification but then I still had to wade through all the other notifications about the same Yak..Calvin.york99Version: 1.3.3
