YOLO: Anonymous Q&A Reviews

by LitPerson123

Every time I try and open YOLO , it takes almost 5 minutes to actually start, then it shows me the “open with snapchat” or “open with phone number”. If I press the snapchat option, it takes me to snapchat and then it tells me that “something is wrong, please try again later!” And then it crashes. I don’t know if this is this app’s fault or snapchats fault, but it’s driving me insane. If I press the phone number option, it gives me the opportunity to put my phone number in, I type in my phone number, then it tells me that the phone number was incorrect. It doesn’t matter what number I put in, it always is incorrect. All my friends are using YOLO and they love it, and I wanna love it too, but unless they fix this, me and a lot of other people will be disappointed. Please fix this!

At the beginning this app was so fun. YOLO says that it will report bullying but never once have I seen that they did it gives people a chance to be mean and not have to take responsibility for it. It is a app that you can hide behind to be mean to other kids without them knowing. I feel that this app was made so kids can ask questions but it now people use it to be mean and bully. there has been several times where I have seen the meanest comments calling people fat ugly etc. of coarse I felt bad but there is nothing you can do considering the fact that this app is anonymous. I feel that YOLO will lead to much worse issues I am a kid who once had this app and there is a lot of mean things going on and it being Anonymous does not help. Once again YOLO was very fun at the beginning and I love the idea of it but there is some serious stuff that should be fixed

YOLO has been working just fine until yesterday where I tried to put a this app on my Snapchat and it didn’t let me. At first I thought it was my internet connection and I verified everything and it was working fine. Then I restarted my phone because I thought that my phone would be the problem and it wasn’t it either. Lastly, I erased YOLO and downloaded it again and it wouldn’t let be login ... so I had to log in with my phone number and by today I’m still trying to post a this app and it won’t let me.
I am extremely mad about it and I just need an explanation on what the actual heck is happening with it.
My friends are posting this app’s just fine , my internet connecting works , I restarted my phone twice , all my apps are working expect for this one in particular.

Coming from a teen that has had YOLO, this is probably the easiest way for a bully to reach a peer and make them feel terrible about themselves. It encourages cyberbullying by making it anonymous so they know there is no consequences for their rude comments on YOLO . Adding to that, it creates tons of drama for the user and the people writing comments. This is a definite way for giving someone a chance to lower your self-esteem. So, if you are looking to get YOLO I suggest you take note that this can be a HUGE way to get hurt because some people still don’t realize that words DO HURT, but there is nothing we can do about that. However, to be generous, YOLO has great quality and works very well, I am jut not a big fan of the content YOLO provides.

YOLO was originally working well, however after I’d had it for about 2 weeks it began sending me notifications for messages, then the messages weren’t showing up in my inbox. I’m not sure if the notifications were glitches, or if I actually am getting messages and YOLO just won’t let me view them, because it does occasionally show a message. Other then that, YOLO has been great. I can ask my friends questions, get anonymous compliments, and for the most part, my experience has been rather positive (aside from a few jokes made by my best friend, but she’s always like that). To be fair, I know a lot of people have been sent inappropriate or rude messages on here, so I would be cautious if you think you would be offended by rude anonymous messages. Overall, this app is a decent app and a good way to connect with people, but it does need improvements and may not be good for everyone. I hope this helps!

I used to use YOLO all the time, I’d post a this app on my Snapchat everyday and it worked perfectly then one day I got banned from snapchat and it said something about using third party apps that access snapchat and that I have to delete it before I can unlock my account so I deleted this app them it let me back into my account so that was obviously the issue. I’m not sure why it banned me from my own snapchat account but I hate that I had to delete YOLO . I re downloaded YOLO and tried to hook it back up to my Snapchat account but YOLO would crash everytime I signed in so eventually I gave up which is why I only rated it three stars, please fix it to where it doesn’t crash and doesn’t ban me from my account again , Thanks

Fine app. I don’t use it but the concept is alright I guess. It’s all middle schoolers that do this though and I think that can kind of pose a future problem to interaction with other people. This is going to contribute to a generation that won’t be able to handle confrontation well. The problem is, everybody is talking smack but it’s all anonymous. The users are aware of this factor which creates no consequences for any of the smack they are talking. But everybody gangsta online until it’s in real life. If no one knows how to handle confrontation, no one can be able to develop major problem solving skills. Rate 3/5. 3 because YOLO has a decent concept and the missing 2 are because of the way it affects the audience. Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk

I like how Snapchat made a anonymous messaging app it notifies you immediately when you get a message and yea but there are a lot of issues in YOLO that need to get fixed when I want to use it sometimes it will say error and then I have to pressed the button over and over again till I can see my messages also if I want people to slide up for example if I take a picture and I don’t like the picture if I delete the picture the anonymous thing will delete to so I have to go back to YOLO also it says that they block messages that aren’t appropriate well they need to check again cause I be getting people saying nasty things to me like YOLO is just a whole mess and they need to fix all this.

Dear this app,

this app is a fun app I must say and I have to give the person who created YOLO the full credit. I love the anonymous mystery when someone types, “I like you” into a slot that you receive later. But some things I don’t like is the harassment and bullying option. My friend, Andrew, would sometimes get some rude messages telling him that he is ugly. No worries though right? Because we wouldn’t have to spend most of our time trying to figure out who this is! We were depending on the feature of exposing this user who harassed u, but of course, it was gone. Alright. Now another issue is, YOLO crashes a lot. When I login to YOLO it takes a second, and it freezes for a couple more seconds and I get an exit appearance from YOLO . This highly frustrates me. Just saying.

Fix them both please. We want the old feature where you can expose the person who wrote rude comments to you, and we want a better feature where it handles, crashing bugs to YOLO .

Thank you for reading this!

Please write back this app.

Honestly I really like this app. It’s a fun app to ask questions on your Snapchat story and interact with your friends. I like the consistent updates and features being added often.
However, sometimes people like to bully others and that’s never fun. I posted a simple question asking people about their crushes as a fun little game. Then there was one or more people that were harassing me about a boy I’m talking to.
I reported each message that was abusive, and I thought at the very least the person would be revealed to me. Sadly that wasn’t the case and I’m assuming that the messages are under review. You’ve never made it quite clear how the reporting system works and what happens if the person you reported is actually found to be abusive. I would like further feedback on that please.
Overall this app is a good app. I hope you guys take the bullying seriously and actually review the messages that are reported. Thank you!

this app is a great way to send anonymous feedback or receive it.
And no, it’s doesn’t use your private information in a harmful way. It’s just like Snapchat, they will keep your information to themselves and never give it away. It is a perfectly safe app.
Now for the bullying part, I can see lots of reviews that hate on YOLO because of cyber bullying. That’s why you can reveal their identity and report them. As other people in the reviews say such things as, “this is a perfect way to get bullied” or “This is not safe and you should delete YOLO.” But they’re not true. YOLO will help you reveal bully’s identity and report hem and get them in trouble. I hope this changes others mind on YOLO. Thanks!

this app is chill and awesome, they gave warnings to people that to not bully no one. I like the fact that they give that warnings, but people think that it’s this app fault. Some people don’t listen to the message, I think that’s it’s not this app’s fault to begin with. It’s the user’s comment fault, if anyone wants to make this app to stop they will have to get to see all the information. Plus, anyone shouldn’t make any bad reviews. this app made this just to have fun, they wouldn’t know if they are bullying them. It would be hard to track all the bullies. They will put all nighters to remind the bullies to stop bullying. this app isn’t involved with any of the drama, you guys should know what to do when a bully is bullying you.

I am a developer and I know exactly how this app achieves the activity it does. I have noticed many people saying they can either access your chats, snaps, memories, map, etc. that is simply not true. YOLO uses Snapchat API called Snap Kit, this is hooked into Swift which is the programming language of iOS apps which use the IPA format. These Snap Kits do not allow such activity and YOLO simply gets access to your Bitmoji, your Public Name, and access to Sticker, this uses the Bitmoji SnapKit, Sticker SnapKit, and Story SnapKit.

So overall from a Java, Kotlin, Swift, etc. developer. You CAN trust this app without having any doubt that your privacy will be invaded.

this app is so easy and fun to use! I love the genius idea of being able to customize your own questions, making it fit your own style, and allow you to make your own choices. Such as, being able to change the Bitmoji avatar stickers,and right your own question for friends to answer, or pick from many question that this app provides you! It is so amazing and a genius app in general! It’s so easy to use as you just download YOLO , press connect through Snapchat and press accept then your done and ready to send yolos and get honest opinions from your friends and family!

by TheOfficialFatSliceofBread

this app is amazing, there are similar apps to this app like lipsi, but unlike lipsi, you can connect your this app to your Snapchat which makes it more convienient! If your not sure what to ask on your this app, it already has some options to pick from that are programmed in, however if you would like to create your own question, you can do that as well. You can post multiple different YOLOs asking different questions at the same time, which is also better and more combined than some of the other anonymous messaging apps. I totally recommend this app!
