My main peeve is them removing the My Herd feature, which allowed you to set a city/campus as your "home" Herd. You were able to interact with your Herd even when you weren't in the immediate area. I still had mine set for my alma mater and loved staying connected with all the going-ons on campus, even when I couldn't always be there. I work and live in an area that rarely has any new Yaks pop up, so removing my ability to interact with my Herd from a distance has really killed this app for me. I can still see the feed for my old Herd, but no interaction is possible.
When this update first came out, I was thinking it was a bug that I couldn't upvote or post in my Herd, so I emailed support. I get this canned response about how that feature was removed, but how there were so many other "exciting" features to check out then and that I could still Peek at my Herd. I replied back stating that I was dissatisfied with the update that purported it was making social media feel "local" again, yet removing a feature that actually kept people connected. Of course, I get almost the exact same response back.
