Bugs found in Yac for iOS
Yac is a voice messenger app for teams that aims to enhance performance and bring teams’ efficiency to a whole new level. The app allows you to keep the work within a team running without frequent group calls, offering async voice messages and screen sharing instead. The app’s core feature is enabling users to share their updates or inquiries without scheduling a meeting. Connect 1:1 or in groups; with a colleague, you share the same workspace or don’t even share the same timezone – both connections are equally accessible with Yac. What’s more, the app offers Slack & Zapier Integrations. Work more, meet less!
Considering the continually rising popularity of tools and solutions for remote workers, Yac has caught our attention. However, while testing the app, we came across some bugs, which interfere with the app’s performance.
