For the confused (and I have nothing to do with this app):

There's an app called YO, and all you can do is send and receive YOs. So, all this does is when you send the username (HardBoiledYo or SoftBoiledYo) a YO, it will reply with a YO X minutes later.

This Yo app really is ridiculous. As if there aren't a thousand other egg timer apps…

Yo is, from what I naively understand, is a super simple app which you can say "yo" to someone. The analogy, I assume, is that someone so simple can still have a use?

And behold, here is a use for the Yo app...interesting...

The question is whether using Yo is more practical than using a Timer app, which is native to every smartphone released in the past 5 years.

It isn't.

It might be, if you can't remember how many minutes it should be. I have to admit I always have to look it up,

One could also build the same functionality into a Twitter account fairly easily.
