Whatever happened to the Yahoo Answers app?

I saw this article from 2016 announcing the launch of "Yahoo Answers Now". It is not currently on either the Apple App Store or Google Play. Has it been integrated into the main Yahoo app?

    Poorly programmed, didn't sync with user online accounts, and overall just wasn't very popular so it was scrapped back in 2017.

    There were problems with the app due to the fact it didn't synchronize with the corresponding site. Yahoo was forced to shut it down.

    It was a limited app that did not work well. Users complained because they wanted it full-featured app, which was a different problem since many phones could not even handle the app. Users complained so much Yahoo (at that time) took it down, instead optimizing the mobile version (which for some is still not full-featured).

    Yahoo Answers had an app at one time, but it did not work well so Yahoo removed it. Use the browser on your phone instead.
