The once-upon-a-time not-so-useful Yo app that only offered the basic pinging functionality has now launched in a new avatar and can do much more -- in 150 different ways.
The Yo Store has made its debut and will grant users access to alerts from nearly 150 established services such as Instagram, Twitter, BuzzFeed, BBC News, Funny or Die and Craigslist to name a few.
"We're pleased to announce another big milestone here at Yo - the debut of the new Yo Store. With over 150 services on Yo, the platform had outgrown the original Yo Index, and we can't wait for you to see what we came up with," revealed the social media app.
The once dispensable Yo app will negate the need for users to install a multitude of apps as it curates alerts under one roof, simplifying access.
The novel Yo Store is the perfect solution for seeking out top-of-the-line services that one needs to follow to stay updated.
The Yo Store has several categories that aren't limiting in the least. They range from Tech, Music and Travel to Productivity and Fun.
For instance, if you're a music lover, simply subscribe to Capitol Records' feeds and you will get all the details on the new music videos from the label's artists. Sports buffs can also stay up to date with their share of Yo alerts on sports.
The best bit is that access to the gamut of services on Yo is free. With more services joining every week, users will enjoy the wide range of choices.
In case you're worried about being bombarded with information, don't fret because Yo has your back covered. The service focuses on quality over quantity and its team "curates the Yo Store to make sure no service is bombarding our users with irrelevant push notifications." The guidelines are pretty stringent to keep users pleased.
If, for example, you subscribe to ProductHunt on Yo, then you will receive an alert, called Yo, only for the products that reach more than 500 upvotes.
The Yo Store is now operational and can be accessed easily. The apps for Chrome, Android, iOS, and Windows Phone are now available for download.
