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?

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.
