YayOrNay troubleshooting and accessibility

Fix common YayOrNay app, notification, camera, location and invite-link problems, or find accessibility guidance.

App startup, updates and notifications

The app won't load or keeps crashing. What should I try?

Make sure your YayOrNay app is up to date. If it is already up to date and still not working, restart your device. If that does not solve the problem, remove the app completely from your device, restart the device, download the app again and try once more. If you have the latest version and the app only shows the YayOrNay icon, there may be a temporary service disruption.

Why am I not getting notifications?
