Also, the down/upvote system is so dumb, I love Yikyak for the fact you can post just about anything in text. But when you block them, they can still comment on your posts, which means you can still probably see their posts, even though I have seemingly found out Yikyak blocks comments of users you've blocked. YikYak allows you to block anyone, say, if a post offends you or whatever. Basically, this app is like Reddit without subs and profiles, but this doesn't come without error. I love the idea of anonymity to the point where fun icons like everything from skateboards to cows are used w/ no names or profile info. 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.
