This app promotes bullying and harassment
Mostly all of the university students on this app at my college use the anonymous feature to their advantage to talk bad about other students and event post pictures/ videos of one another to make fun of. I’ve seen really nothing positive come out of this app other than a bunch of immature 20 + year olds being nasty to eachother on here.
Bring back geo location based thread
This app is basically Reddit but worse. It's has been dead since they got rid of the geo location based thread. Used to be so much better. Societies are just too soft nowadays.
Keeps deleting my reviews
They keep deleting my reviews I leave
Biased moderation
The app conceptually is nice, and it has a lot of nice features but the moderation is horrible. I just recently saw a post that said “women are superior to men” and I reported it and nothing happened. There needs to be moderators for the moderators. They are biased and let things that break the community guidelines slide if it is convenient for them.
They sell your data
Now that’s it’s by school email it has become completely less anonymous and any organization that requests your information from them can get it. People have been added to court cases because of a comment they made over a post in this app. Next time you go to use it just remember you’re not actually anonymous.
Avoid
The fact that there’s no customer support and u can’t appeal for a ban is ridiculous. Avoid this app at all costs.
Garbage pointless it will never compete with reddit
YOU GUYS HAD SOMETHING GOOD ALREADY AND YOU GUYS RUINED IT. GO BACK TO THE LOCAL MODE THIS AINT IT. Im deleting it as i type this super disappointed i used to open yik yak multiple times a day then you guys turned it into a school thing and now a knock off reddit. Just go back already
Leftist Censorship app that doesn’t allow dialogue
I brought up the topic of consent in the various states, and how the age of consent in 38 states was 16 or 17 and that people in that state had the right to engage in legally consensual activities and I was banned for even discussing it. I received 1 12hour timeout, and then an immediate ban. For posting a video that was both on TikTok, and on YouTube with many views. The moderators are biased, and is very difficult to appeal and indefinite timeout.
This app would be great if they will let people communicate without silencing them.
Avoid this app.

Who is running this app
The new UI is disgusting. First you merged it with side chat, then you took away the live feed thing, and now it looks awful. You’d better change it back or at the very least change it to something better.
