"Sleek tool for cutting down on meetings"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Yac?

Yac helps us cut down on meetings — which is great. It is easy to use and has a sleek UI/UX. Super easy to record, cuts down on background noise, and sharing is super simple. We love the "share to URL" feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yac?

We like to include video, and Yac is audio first. Video IS available. It's just usually a second or third click. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Interesting Tool"
4/5
What do you like best about Yac?

I used it for the first time this week, and it was actually a lot quicker than trying to hop on a random Zoom or communicate via Slack. That made things a lot more efficient for me and my team as we try to get reports out in a timely manner without being bogged down in getting Zoom set up (which is fast, don't get me wrong) or have things potentially lost in the sauce via strictly text. I definitely love the transcript feature; it's pretty spot on! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yac?

It's been a little bit clunky for me to move around in but I believe that's on me, not the app itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good software for asynchronous meetings"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Yac?

I like the idea that YAC is built around the concept of asynchronous meetings. Asynchronous meetings are beneficial if you have a global team that works in different time zones. I like the concept of discussions in YAC, how we can attach links anywhere, and its simplicity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yac?

1. The transcript feature doesn't show the correct words most of the time.

2. User experience - In some places, I faced issues while navigating. It would just come out of the discussion page sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Highly effective for "too complex for email/slack" but "DOESN'T need to be a meeting" communications"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Yac?

It is perfect for when you need a longer explanation or question, and you know the meaning/essence will be lost in translation by typing out an email/Slack. It is also awesome for cascading messages to the rest of my team. It TREMENDOUSLY helps interdepartmental communications when "tone" of written information can become a sore spot. Be able to hear someones voice is far superior when dealing communicating with colleagues that have different written communication styles i.e. - brief doesn't mean rude. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yac?

The only thing dislike is initially convincing people it is a more effective manner of communicating. Once they use it once or twice, they're a believer in it's effectiveness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"SAVED ME SO MUCH TIME!!!! $$"
5/5
What do you like best about Yac?

I find myself saving so much more time. Plus I can truly explain abstract concepts more clearly through voice messages. When I send text it takes us multiple messages to discuss one topic making decisions drag out more than they need to Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yac?

There was really no downside to using Yac, I loved the experience and am happy somebody finally created a platform where I can leverage voice Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very user friendly product, great for for async communication"
5/5
What do you like best about Yac?

User-friendly features, easy to onboard new users. I found it particularly helpful as I've got 3 kids so communicating via audio makes a big difference to my productivity (much faster, easy to use). Competitor solutions either have a short time limit (e.g. LinkedIn has a nice audio feature but it's 1 min max which is not practical in many cases) or accidentally break too often (e.g. WhatsApp voice messages accidentally cut out very frequently so you end up sending broken audio messages). The customer support team has also been extremely helpful any time I had any questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yac?

So far I have not seen any features that I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reduce the need to meet and get the job done"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Yac?

That you can record your thoughts on the fly and don't have to wait for a moment to "write it down" and you have a transcription as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yac?

There is more of a learning curve than I expected. Some things are just not intuitive. I think the hard part is getting started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
