Latest update in Store seems to break retrieval

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

If you're not getting any errors, just wait or try again. Yik Yak is wildly inconsistent in how long it takes to get a response. Sometimes I just don't get a response.

Also, try reinstalling the app or rebooting your phone.

I'm seeing the same issue. I've redownloaded and rebooted.

Okay, let's troubleshoot... If you're not getting any errors, then requests are not going through.

1. Are you on WiFi or cellular data?
2. Do the loading dots appear at the top?
3. Do the loading dots ever disappear?
4. Do you have a user ID listed on the settings page? (Don't post them here!)

1. I've tried on both Wi-Fi and Cellular neither works
2. The loading dots appear
3. They never disappear
4. Yes

I just keep getting the "No yaks here.... its boring, eh?" message.

Nevermind! resetting my user id seemed to fix it!

Fantastic!

I think the problem might be that Yodel wasn't registering user ID's properly before (due to bug #7), so the user ID you had before might have been invalid. I fixed this in the latest update (0.9.0.4).

@immewnity Does resetting your user ID work for you too?

[immewnity]

It did fix it!

There actually was a problem here: after registering a new user, the app didn't wait long enough before it tried to load a new yak feed. It caused a race condition of sorts where the new user wasn't properly logged yet on Yik Yak's servers when Yodel was trying to fetch a new yak feed. Now it will wait two seconds before trying to load a new feed. This seems to have fixed the issue.
