Yo was created by Or Arbel in eight hours, being launched on April Fools Day 2014 for Android (operating system) and iOS. Originally chief technology officer of stock trading platform Stox, Arbel quit his job and has since begun working on the app full time. The app has received USD$1 million in investment from a group of investors led by Moshe Hogeg, CEO of Mobli, who had originally asked Arbel to design a single-button app to call his assistant.[2] In July 2014 the app was also released for Windows Phone.[3] The app was valued at between $5 and $10 million in July 2014 and received a further $1.5 million in funding.[4] Website IFTTT included Yo as an option for their service in July 2014.[3]

Arbel stated interest in expanding the app to include more functionality - including a feature which could be used by bloggers to send their followers a 'yo' whenever they post an update; a feature which has since been implemented.[5] The app's first content update was released in August 2014, adding extra functionality to it, including the ability to send web links and hashtags, and creating user profiles.[6]

On 20 June 2014, a group of Georgia Tech students hacked the app, allowing them to retrieve any user's phone number and spam/spoof 'yo's to any user.[7] After the exploit was fixed, Arbel hired one of the hackers to work with the company.[8]

was just about to make a thread about this. Somehow they've managed to make the app worse!? There's no longer any delay when you press on someone to yo them, so it's harder to yo several people in a row. Also sometimes you press someone's name and the yo seems to go through but their name doesn't shoot to the top of the list and you press them again and it flies away and you're left wondering "am I spamming some new zealandian farmer/student with yo's ???"

One day I will reinstall the Yo app, and at that time my phone will crash from all the buffered Yo's.
