You’re probably wondering how we keep the lights on, yeah? I get it. We don’t run ads, and we don’t sell data. So how are we racking in the bucks? Through our subscription business plan! The users that really love our app have gone all-in, and want to take part in more than the three free groups that you get with the free membership. They’ve decided that our social experience is totally worth the 99 cents.

Basically a free trial, but for life! Here’s your chance to try out what we offer, and see if this social experience is the right vibe for you and your friends. No strings attached – we want you to feel just as jazzed about this app as us. If you’re not, no harm done! But, if you love it, spread the love 🙂

Each Post has a Reaction Bar added to it. The Reaction Bar let’s you easily react to a Post by adding a “Like”, an emoji reaction or a comment.

Just like every other app! Apple and Google Play both have payment plans that are directly connected to Yodelay. We don’t store or process your credit card information, but if you sign up for the subscription service, you get signed up for automatic payments that get drawn from the card you have linked to your app store account.

Yodelay is compatible with iPhones and Androids. We’re still in development for iPads and web browsers. Stay tuned 🙂

Currently, we have made the social app available to mobile only. However, we are in the development of other platforms (like web browsers and iPads). Stay tuned!

The Yodelay community cares for each other, and can be a place where people facing difficult issues such as eating disorders, cutting, or other kinds of self-injury come together to create awareness or find support. We try to do our part by providing education in the app and adding information in the Help Center so people can get the help they need.
