Don’t like the add of ads

The adds are annoying sometimes. Also there’s like middle schoolers who be doodooheads and ruin the vibe

Balls.

This app is balls. Great balls. Nice balls. Perfect for a long wood. Maybe great for other campuses! Depends on your location.

My Addiction

This app is my addiction. I spend way too much of my free time on it. I love it. The only thing things I wish it had were DMs and
images.

Not bad

Just needs the distance a little further imo, several groups of friends of mine are literally like maybe a half a mile to a mile
out of range, maybe do a 7.5 mile radius? Or make it to where we can do 5 or 7.5 or 10 u know?

There should be a reply button that pulls up the @ symbol and whatever the person’s emoji is.

New feature

You should be able to scale from local 5 miles to state wide Yak and then nationwide YaK. I think would be cool

Edit function pls

Cool concept, I like the new UI improvements. Now we just need an edit function and the ability to take the person directly to the
post when we click on the “someone else also commented a yak you commented on” push notifications.

Honestly I like this app, it’s really fun but it should definitely add some private messaging that would be cool.

Helpful!

There was an @ssault in my herd, and everyone on yikyak complied their knowledge and eventually identified the culprit and got him
caught. Other than that, really funny and allows for genuine anonymous connection between people in an area.

Love it, but some friends and I agree y’all should add a DM feature, or group chat feature. It stays anonymous, but works like
Snapchat or discord

Good, just not as fully featured as it used to be.

Missing some good features from way back when including the herds, that way you can interact with your main area at all times and
the ability to view specific areas to see what other people are talking about in their areas.

She’s back!

It’s been a while, and although she’s now what she uses to be, yikyak is back. Slightly less toxic though. Unfortunately

Radius

I really love this app but I wish the radius was at least 10-15 miles instead of 5

pretty good 👍👍👍

this app is pretty good if u live on a college campus… BUT you should add a bottom that has all of your upvotes only so you can
go back easily and read them.

Good app for college students trying to be more connected with their community, but I miss the chat board feature 🥲

Plz stop blocking the c word

It’s part of free expression. If the herd thinks a post using the word doesn’t belong, they’ll downvote it into oblivion

love/hate relationship

sometimes you just want your words heard, not replied to. i wish you could cut the comments off on yikyak a of your choice. i also
wish you could mute notifications on yikyaks that have negative/unnecessary comments!! love it otherwise

The slowest to review reports

A lot of guys in my area have taken to calling girls derogatory names on yikyak and yikyak is incredibly slow at handling these
reports and/or banning these people. The app used to be fun but the type of stuff that people can post with little to no
intervention is disgusting.

I’ve liked this app for a while but...

I’ve had had this app for almost a year and liked it but recently not so much. I don’t usually like to update apps but gave in
for yikyak and all of a sudden, any time I open the app it’ll open, show the homepage/“feed” for 2 seconds and then crash.
It happens over and over.

Summer spaceship is glitchy :(

Would give 5 stars but the summer spaceship glitched and deleted a saved location that I cannot get back because it is halfway
across the country. Wish there was a way to restore previously saved locations, would make things a lot easier.

This lowkey reminds me of the old app Geeking. Just add some chat featuresn it’d probably be a perfect replacement

Needs improvement

The app has too many bugs and glitches that go unnoticed and are never fixed. Good concept but needs improvement.

Please fix the background color bug

It looks like gradient backgrounds for emojis change colors when commenting our sometimes posting. It’s really annoying because
one minute I’ll be purple then I’ll be pink

Small things make the biggest difference

PLEASE make it so that if you block someone or get blocked by someone after commenting on their post, you don’t get
notifications for that post

Paylocity Mobile - Time off request. I work part time . I do not have time off hours in balance to request time off. There is no place to request time off with no

Stick Nodes Pro - Animator - Very good!. When i was looking for apps to animate i tried Ibis Paint X then FlipaClip and then ToonSquid and i found this. It helped me so
much!!!! I very much recommend getting this. Theres so many free stick links on YouTube!!! I love this app, i hope this motivates
you to download this!!.
