It is slightly buggy at times, but beats other employers methods of reaching out to you. ### 3/5 — Theme setting *2023-05-25, version 2.8.31* Love this app but the only issue I have is that this app doesn’t allow dark theme. Can a developer look into this? ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2021-11-27, version 2.8.5* Probably the best App I’ve used so far for work related issues. It’s easy to use and all your colleagues are a click away. 100% recommended 👍🏼 ### 5/5 — Great communication *2021-11-25, version 2.8.5* Great for large teams to stay connected and raise concerns with ease. ### 5/5 — Fast and Reliable *2021-11-24, version 2.8.5* A great app - allows staff in store to keep connected! ### 5/5 — Great way of communication! *2021-11-24, version 2.8.5* We started using Yapster at work, and I found it a great way of internal communication to keep us updated on what is happening in the company! ### 5/5 — Easy *2021-11-23, version 2.8.5* To be honest I love YAPSTER it’s the quickest way for me to get all the info I need for work. On my days of I can get updates on everything that’s going on. The communication is amazing, you get to communicate with other members from your store and different stores. I like the way next has different groups such as mental health. I feel like it makes all the colleagues come together all around. ### 5/5 — Love it !! *2021-11-23, version 2.8.5* Loving Yapster helping me settle into my new job 👍🏻👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Really easy to use *2021-11-22, version 2.8.5* I love this app, so easy to use and works very well! I love the features. ### 5/5 — Staying in contact with colleagues *2021-11-22, version 2.8.5* I love the fact that we can stay in touch with colleagues within our store, who we are not intouch with on social media, and we can also contact other colleagues in other stores. It’s a great way to communicate with the whole company, when in previous years we weren’t able to. I think it’s great. ### 5/5 — Excellent way to communicate within the company *2021-11-22, version 2.8.5* This app is a great way to be able to communicate either directly with someone within your company or to the whole company. ### 5/5 — Good *2021-11-22, version 2.8.5* Good app keep it up ### 5/5 — Useful app *2021-11-22, version 2.8.5* So far I am loving this platform. It’s so nice and easy to reach to anyone. I can see what’s going on even when I am not at work. Anything important that I need to know or ask for help. It’s very helpful.😊 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — B *2024-12-02, version 2.10.1.2* This is the worst app ever. Always have issues loging in. Have to constantly reinstall the app. No customer support. This app is terrible. I have no clue why my work decides to use this useless app. Terrible user experience as well. aLways have issues with this app. Who ever made this app clearly never uses it otherwise the problems would be fixed. I would never recommend this app. i only use this app because work makes me. Spare your employees of this terrible app. ### 1/5 — Hardly work/ function *2024-03-05, version 2.9.0* Always loading when need to ### 1/5 — Missing yaps *2024-03-04, version 2.9.0* This should be an easy app to use my employer, insists on it, being used to book holidays and all the rest of it to ask for shift swaps, and to be informed of what is happening at work Imagine the frustration when you can see that a yap has come in, but the minute you touch the app it disappears The messages are stuck somewhere, I know they exist, but I can’t find them unless I am lucky enough to know who sent the message and then I can look for that person If this is a bug, it needs sorting out now because it sounds exactly like the one that was happening three years ago. Frustrating and annoying ### 1/5 — Crunchy *2024-01-07, version 2.9.0* Had the app for a few years now and truly don’t love it! The UI is very crunchy, glitchy animations, unsightly sharp edges and not well optimised for different screen shapes. Feels very dated - the likes of Yammer, Teams, even WhatsApp are far more accessible and easy to navigate. Feels like a beta version that hasn’t been updated in 6 years. Just makes it very annoying to even have installed. Even clicking on images and reacting to messages, dismissing announcements or archiving messages - nothing is easy or bug free. Does the job but as a user interface it’s horrific to the eyes and the soul. The developers clearly DO NOT care about how visually horrific and buggy the app is because every review response is insincere and generic and they’ve not fixed the UI in the 5 years people have been complaining about it. ### 1/5 — Badly built app *2023-05-11, version 2.8.31* Badly build app, quite bugged. Worst part: you don't have a "delete account" option ### 1/5 — Company forcing me to use this pointless app. *2022-09-26, version 2.8.31* My employer forcing me to use this app. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2022-09-11, version 2.8.31* Bugs out more than it works ### 1/5 — Won’t open *2021-02-02, version 2.7.0* All of a sudden the Yapster app will not open, just stays on the blank white screen with the logo, I’ve turned my phone off and on etc but the app still won’t load. ### 1/5 — Bad app *2020-02-11, version 2.6.3* I need to daownload every single day the app because it does not open and whenever I open it via Okta, so I open it on browser,it will not allow you to press “on browser” because text plus on top of the button and it does not scroll down properly. ### 1/5 — Will the newsfeeds ever stop?! *2017-11-30* Honestly the worst thing about this app is the newsfeeds. Good for you Italy, Germany, Spain. You’re all in rich areas where only the elite shop. I can’t mute the newsfeeds without muting all of the group chats too, which essentially means missing out on vital information from my team. I wouldn’t mind but a member of admin said an upgrade was coming by the end of last week. Where is this golden update? Also I think it would be a good idea to show if you have chat notifications like WhatsApp or fb messenger has when the notifications are muted **Developer response:** We're sorry you didn't enjoy Yapster due to newsfeed notifications, but thanks for giving this feedback. We acted to address the issue of excess 'newsfeed noise' in release v2.1 and have plans to go one step further by extending notification options in settings within the next couple of releases. Please drop us a note at support@yapster.info if you would like to be involved in the design of these new features, we really do value your input. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app, Great Company! *2022-11-03, version 2.8.31* Having used the app for eve 3 years now with my current company I can reliably say it is not only a great app for inter company communication but also offers a plethora of different layers to drive business and develop social leadership skills! Having recently worked with the team at Yapster to optimise their gamification feature which has been a game changer in running incentives company wide!! As mentioned in the title a great app with an incredible support team behind it! Would highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Great professional communication app *2022-10-07* If you are looking for a platform that allows anyone in your organization to chat without giving out personal contact info, Yapster is king! Their customer service is amazing—response time is fast. Our team needed a last-minute training, and they got all questions answered on a meeting the next day. **Developer response:** Hi Megs75392, thank-you so much for leaving us such a thoughtful review.

Yapster has completely changed our ability to connect with each other tenfold. The Yapster support team is brilliant and always respond quickly to any question or query. ### 5/5 — A great communication app! *2022-04-04, version 2.8.20* I really enjoy Yapster. It’s a great way for businesses to communicate as well as celebrate each other’s success in a professional setting. It’s allowed me to communicate with people beyond my usual area and branch out to not only other stores, but other areas of the business! A great little app! ### 5/5 — Good updates *2021-12-07, version 2.8.5* I haven't had any problem so far with the App. I like how sufficient it is when you have access to different apps in it. Also it keeps you updated about the feedback Bot and seeing post from different restaurants or HO. Very handy if you need to contact someone within the company. 👌 ### 5/5 — Really useful *2021-11-30, version 2.8.5* I’m new to the retail trade and being a part time employee I have found the app very useful as it keeps me not only up to date with day to day information regarding our store it allows me a chance to get valuable information on the company promotions and resources too ### 5/5 — Informative *2021-11-28, version 2.8.5* I am a newbie and really like to get answered my question in this platform. To clarify and understand Next standards and requirements. And I no need to ask as my questions are always answered in one or another comments. It’s easy to use and I like to know always the newest news about the company across the country. 🙂 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
