They ruined it originality
Yik yak needs to go back to the old days, where it was just a place where people within a certain area would be able to anonymously post random comments. No communities, no games, chats, whatever. This is just another social media app like Reddit, nothing special at all, it used to be because of its original design.
Make another one like the OG, that was good, this is just Reddit 2

Time out???
I haven't really used the app in two years. Then months ago I used it then stopped. Got on months later and it says im in time out.
I checked my old post and comments and they're fine dont know why im in “time out” this app is and will always be trash. The old yik yak was better.
I'll wait or forget about this app for awhile but if it still says it weeks later im deleting it.
You should at least explain what the user did and get real mods the user mods are destroying your app hence the reason you have to have ads and all this other random junk that doesn't make any sense. Like why do you have games and stuff on here, dumb

Stop pausing my music
I’ll change this to 5 stars if yall can ask gpt to fix your code enough that it won’t pause music when you open the app. I actually enjoy this app but I cannot understand why this problem still persists
Major privacy concerns
User beware. Accounts are assigned unique user ids and can be tracked via API calls to the servers. You are not anonymous. You are being tracked.
I hate this app
But like it’s kinda fun thooo….
Group chats
I think you add the feature to send videos in the group chats not just pictures.
absolutely revolting
this app quickly became one of my favorites. posting anonymously, posting in groups to find your peoples. but i have noticed in almost every single group i have joined, ranging from “ask women” to “love island” to “foodies” and whatnot. there is always multiple men, saying sexual/predatory things. in a “food” group there was a man asking women about selling him videos of them farting/peeing. and it’s absolutely disgusting how people get banned for saying something back, putting them in their place. and the people saying the actually sick things get no repercussions. do better please because this app has soo much potential

There are so many weird posts on here, ranging from obvious solicitation adverts, sexting, etc. there’s also an incredibly sexist user base
Bad Bugs & Biased Mods
PLEASE fix this app and the way it background refreshes constantly. I used up all of my international data plan while studying abroad in less than a week, solely because of this app!! Fix this!! Also moderators are really biased and tend to be racist/ sexist and allow a lot of discrimination while also punishing the victims of said interactions.

Hmm
Add the ability to log in to the application through other services
Propaganda
Yik yak will remove anything u say that is against lgtbq but will not remove death threats
App doesn’t work for new users anymore
As a new user trying to join Yik Yak in 2026, I downloaded the app excited to check out my college community. Unfortunately, the sign-up process is broken and unreliable.
I could enter my phone number, but the verification SMS code either never arrives or takes forever (tried multiple times, different networks, etc.). When I finally got past that, the .edu email verification for the private campus feed failed or was unclear.

Freedom to hate on people
genuinely this app only spreads negativity and hasn’t been useful for anything.
Terrible app
The mods are obviously biased and on top of that you aren’t told which rule you broke when banned. Off topic posts are ignored. Downvotes don’t stick after refreshing. I’m forced to look at the new “popular” page. Don’t waste your time with this app.
Hi developer 👋
Still not getting verification code to create account

old yikyak

New "community link" feature in poor taste
Would just like to express my distaste for the latest feature that highlights any words that share a name with an existing community. It's *at best* annoying to see advertisements for communities that very often have nothing to do with the post it got linked to. At worst, I've seen someone talking about how they lost their mother, and the word "lost" was hyperlinked to a community for the TV series with the same name.

Pretty much Reddit
People can extremely easily take away your access for a 48 hour period if they don’t agree with something you say. You don’t even have to break any rules. Just one upset persons report does you in. Idk who checks them, if it’s AI, it’s terrible. If not, there are biased moderation teams which are bad for everyone. It doesn’t even need to be about politics, just anyone offended by anything can take away your equal right to use the app. Seems pointless to interact with it.

Okay
People post the same things constantly. Gross messages remain up but less offensive ones get taken down. Not very helpful either.
