The packages found in this section of the site are provided, maintained, and moderated by the community. Unless the developers change their mind on this decision, I will be spending my time on the other platforms that do everything new YikYak does, better. It’s okay to experiment with other options and ideas, but it’s frankly insulting to assume that we’d completely trade in our herds for that. The features that made it meet and fulfill a unique and niche market demand have been replaced with sad knockoffs of other platforms. If YikYak is to meet the same soulless money-grubbing fate that every other platform inevitably faces these days, I hope the developers are at least aware that the changes they’ve implemented into YikYak have stripped it of all the things that made it unique and authentic. What I need is my herd, and no one gave me my herd quite like YikYak used to. I don’t need to divide the strangers I talk to by giant nationwide interest groups, that’s what Twitter, Reddit, and Tumblr are for. I don’t need another place to make long-distance friends, that’s what Discord is for. You can no longer talk to your local community there’s just universities and then the great beyond. YikYak used to be perfect for that, until a few weeks ago. The entire reason I wanted YikYak in the first place was to connect with my local community. 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. 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. So now, you have to guess what the next notification you should check is with no help from the exactly the same notification descriptions. Nope, if you do that, it gets rid of all the indicator lights for new notifications. You might be thinking, “Oh, just refresh it!”. 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. ![]() 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. But, it doesn’t tell me which Yak that is. 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. I 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. My advice to the developers would be to roll back the app to a previous version (if that’s possible, I’m not well versed enough in iPhone apps to know if it is or not) until they have thoroughly tested and patched the updated version so these problems no longer persist.įantastic but the Notification Tab Needs Work And of course there’s the random crashes that seem to happen with no rhyme or reason. DM’s will take more than a few minutes to show up as sent, and comment notifications will come minutes after seeing the actual comment appear on a yak you commented on. Occasionally yaks will repeat as you scroll down or show as completely blank. This might persist for as little as a minute and as long as 20 minutes. The most common glitch is that all yaks, DM’s, and notifications will sometimes disappear, and your yakarma will show as 0. I have no idea what the developers put in the most recent update but whatever it is it’s caused the app to become extremely glitchy. ![]()
