Ever find yourself struggling when your phone’s battery is on 2%, you don’t have cell service, or you simply can’t type fast enough on your touch screen mobile device? These are no longer problems for those use the mobile app known as Yik Yak.
Yik Yak for the web launched its public beta Wednesday morning. Users can now Yik Yak away with their local herd on their laptop and desktop computers.
A couple months ago, Yik Yak launched a closed beta of the web version to certain users to test the concept. Because the web version is still in public beta, some features of the app will still only be accessible by the phone.
However, features like voting, New and Hot feeds, My Herd, all our usual reporting flows, and Peek tab collections will still be available on the web version.
The company stressed that they are trying to make the experience more convenient and user friendly.
“Yik Yak is all about connecting communities, and we want to make sure students can stay in touch with their herds in the most convenient way possible, whether that’s on their phones or their computers,” Yik Yak said in a press release.
