I love yikyak

Yikyak has been the center of my life ever since coming to college. After coming to uni, I became engrossed with this beautiful app. I’ve always loved X (formerly Twitter), and now combine that with anonymity and everyone being on the same page? It’s perfect. You’re bored on campus? Yikyak. Nothing to do? Yikyak. Want to talk about your horrible professor without them knowing? Yikyak. It’s always the answer. And I really mean Always. I wish to keep yikyak in my further education and make this an app that can be used in any company. Please make this possible 🙏🙏

Yikyak is glorious

App is genuinely great for keeping up with news around campus, and is actively developing into something more and more usefully almost daily. I don’t think I’ll ever stop using this app for the rest of my college career

Best College Social App

I have been on the app for about over a year and consistently have had updates from my university peers on events, funny occurrences, meme sharing and much more!

Yiking my Yak

I downloaded this app in 2022, so I’ve seen it go through a lot of changes over the years. That being said, it is something I use a lot of the time and I’ve met some pretty great people on here. Very good app

When I started I found that getting engagement was super easy and it was so easy to talk to people who would comment so I often found myself talking to the same people over and over so when I started a club based off my posting(astrophotography) people showed up and were genuinely excited to meet me! I’m in love with my little lime light
