“Yak Works! Woohoo! It really really works and doesn't mess you about like other apps”
“Excellent app! Love it! I think it's better than all the other chat apps!”
“Excellent app. I love that there is no limit to how long the message is like another app I was using. Use this all the time to talk to friends overseas”
“Downloaded and working within minutes. Great app. I've got the itouch and it's super for pics as well as chats. Can do person to person as well as group chats. Thumbs up.”
“Great app!! Best thing in the Market at the mo, cheers yak for your brilliant app, life just wouldn't be the same without you.”
“Brilliant app! Must recommend to anyone who likes to keep in touch and I think it's probably the best one yet! Very very happy! Always get notifications and don't need your phone number to use it like others. Can choose who is in your contacts list and block those you don't want, with a varied number of sounds to choose from and the added bonus is you can send full size pics, audio and even video! Great work!!! 10 stars! ;))”
