"The API library used is a JavaScript port of Joseph Connor's pyak Python API library"

Link appears to be dead. I know, an extremely critical issue that needs to be fixed immediately.

The title says it all. I may have missed this if you said you're working on it, but I'm just asking.

Whenever the cache reloads, it doesn't remember which posts I've already rated. All of the arrows are blank.

The list of colleges or places is getting smaller. The iPhone version of Yik yak has a greater list. I would like to be able to see the neighboring college's yaks or just any other yaks from other schools.I also can't see top yaks from my location.
Not a big deal. It would just be a nice feature to have on this app.

Have you considered refactoring your api code into a standalone library?

Sometimes it hits a "speed bump." That's best comparison I have, but I'll try to explain it. When you're scrolling really up or down at certain points on the feed, scrolling slows down immediately like car going fast and hitting a speed bump. Normally, the scrolling would come to a smooth stop. Rather it hits a "bump" and slows down.

After the latest update (which is awesome by the way), I seem to be stuck on the splash screen. This only happens after I close the app and then relaunch it about 1-2 minutes later. It got stuck there for well over 15 minuets, this happens on both WiFi and 4G LTE. I'm using a Lumia 925 w/ the official Cyan update if that helps. Keep it up man, I really appreciate it!

Yes, my phone is on the correct time and in the correct time zone. This applies to both posts and comments. The newest will say they're about an hour old, older ones then go to 0 and then increase yet again.

Time zone is US Central Time, if that helps debug at all.

Most apps close if you press the back button on their home screen. This one remains open until you manually close it. Not a huge problem, but may drain the phone's battery if it keeps running in the background.

In the "me" section, my Top Yaks are not ordered by the number of up votes they get.

Currently, if the app is suspended while you're viewing a comments page, the app will crash when it is reactivated. This is because the navigation state, which holds the index of the yak being viewed, is cleared when the app is reactivated from suspend.

So...I should start saving that.

I know that there are plenty of yaks but the app says that there aren't any. Been doing this since

latest update

• There's a button to post but I can't post
• Only shows nearby, but doesn't show other places/HOT/NEW/TOP Yaks
• Doesn't show location or give an option to turn your exact location off
• Needs to be able to click on a yak and see it by itself opposed to on the yak feed
• Color schemes would be nice, but not a big deal

The source of nearly all of the app's crashes are failed network calls. These exceptions should be caught and handled appropriately.

This one is puzzling, because it doesn't happen consistently. Seems like a bizarre CSS positioning issue.

This issue will take more time to fix than I anticipated, and thus it did not make it into the first release. The app currently uses a ListLayout to display yaks and comments, but ListLayouts (inexplicably) do not properly support items of different/dynamic heights. I used a CSS hack to get around this, but when I later tried to save the scroll position, I discovered that the ListView object was returning indexes that were incorrect. Removing the CSS hack corrected the issue.

It looks like I'll have to implement a custom ListView layout. Fun times. Fuuuuuuun times.

Hello, I am unable to generate a user id for this application. I am also unable to view any posts from the nearby area.

What's the status on an update for refreshing? I noticed that the current build you have to switch pages and back again to refresh the page. Are you working on a way to refresh without leaving the page you're on? (main page, individual yaks, comments, etc.)

After writing my Windows Microsoft account it says I have bo permission to download the app.

Although peek feeds have their vote buttons disabled, their comments pages do not.

I need to figure out the best way to keep track of whether the comments being loaded are read-only or not.

I've seen some instances where the number of replies on the main screen does not reflect the actual number of replies a post has. I have seen 2 replies with none, 1 with none, and 11 with 10. I'm not sure whether comments were deleted or not. Closing the app and reopening did not correct the counts.

I know they're not good. They'll be better when I have time to make them better.

I just checked my Battery Saver options, and Yodel uses almost twice as much battery as the second highest usage app. I hope this will get resolved as code gets smoothed out.

I know this feature is unavailable at the moment. But do you have a time where is might be?

When you vote on a yak, the app removes your vote, but registers the vote on the client, allowing you to keep upvoting or downvoting yaks until you either close the app or tap the yak to see replies.

Some server-side change seems to keep downvotes from saving. Investigating...

Just another cosmetic suggestion. I know people can get tired of such a bright color scheme after a while, so a dark theme might be useful. Accent colors are really optional, I just always find it a nice touch on a lot of third-party apps.

If you're concerned with implementation, I know a few apps that require the app to be closed and opened again for color schemes to work, so don't worry if that's the best way you can find to implement this.

The app crashes on posting when:

• The message has newline(s) in it.
• The threat words dictionary isn't available.

When a post/comment is submitted, it needs to be more obvious and it needs to report more information to the user; for example, if something has gone wrong.

And apparently the progress bar doesn't show? That needs to be fixed as well.

Time stamps keep going backwards. Top post says "1 hr", the one after says "59 mins".

Kind of annoying having to wait for the feed to re-load every time I want to view comments. It takes time plus I lose my place in browsing. It would be a more streamlined method to keep the messages cached and remember the viewing position. Then a button/pull-release from the top would refresh the feed instead.

Everytime I try to load Yodel I get this error message. Is this the app, something to do with the API or are their servers just overloaded? This has been happening since last night. Yik Yak works fine on my android tablet though...

Nothing happens when I hit the "New Post" button. I have the app on my Lumia 920.

It's taking extremely long for the app to open now. Not sure why. It takes anywhere from 30 seconds to 3 minutes to open up.

In light of recent events, it might be good if you include a feature in the full release of the app that could send users a message in case something goes wrong with connecting to Yik Yak servers. It would save the trouble of dealing with complaint emails and negative reviews on the app. Just something to let them know what the problem is and that you're trying to fix it.

I think we've been blocked. Is the app still working for anyone else?

I don't believe they are saving. When I exit off the app and come back everything that was commented/posted is gone. And when you comment on a post twice the first one is deleted.

The username space is blank, no yik yaks at all

Expected behavior, but confusing to the end user. Maybe disable access to the comments page if no comments are detected? Or filler text? At least until comments are implemented.

My Lumia 521 will not download Yodel. It says it does not support my current software, however my phone has the latest available software.

Sometimes when I open the app, no yaks will appear. It just shows up as white. But the border and things will be there just no yaks until I have to reset my yak ID and get it to refresh

I'm seeing no Yaks as I'm sitting in class on campus. I'll test again in a different location later.

Show special peek locations, and allow users to choose & save what peek locations they want to see.

Hello,
I am still having the same issue as last time even after the update. I cannot generate an ID and there is just white space when I open the application. I see no posts.

The likes/dislikes in yodel are saving to yik yak but arnt showing that they are saving on yodel.

Yik Yak released an update shortly after I released 0.9.1.0, which added a new "peek anywhere" feature and introduced breaking API changes. These include new regional domains, a banned words list, and a version parameter on all requests to define the API version in use.

The API version currently used by Yodel has been deprecated and made read-only.

Whoops, forgot to do this in the big PTR update. I'll get it in soon.

I am not able to post yaks on the yodel beta. I don't know if this is usual or not

My recent Yaks and recent replies aren't showing up. If I make a yak then go immediately to my yaks it shows up but then after awhile I check again and they're gone. Just letting you know. I tried restarting the app and it didn't work.
