what the fuck makes phone apps so cocky as to send me notifications telling me to use it. my grocery list app straight up went “you havent made a list in a while!” are you out of your fucking mind. you are a program. why are you speaking to me like youre my equal. i could replace you with a pen and the back of a receipt. idiot. i kill you now
You must log in or register to comment.
One more reason why i prefer Open Source. There, apps get made for utility, not for money.
And popularized by utility, not profit or market share
It’s the only thing worse than getting interrupted using the app asking for me to review it
Three seconds after you start it for the 1st time
I do review them when they pull that bullshit, I give them 1 star.

This is why on newer Android versions you can just flat out reject being allowed to send notifications.
I will talk to you when I need it, not the other way around.
This. I shut off all notifications from nearly all of my apps. Primary text app, phone app, and just a couple of others. I may temporarily allow them for a special purpose, but once that’s over they all get silenced and I get to them when I get to them. I hate badge notifications, too. So, those are off for EVERYTHING. Grad school cemented that aversion.
“You haven’t given us your data in a while!”
App developers should learn that the “Maybe later” button makes me delete their app.
Yes or no.
It increases engagement and that’s what the developer wants, especially if there are ads or purchases in the app. So you might hate it but it works.
“OK, adding pen and paper to your shopping list.”
Sad reality is that most things want to get you hooked and engaged in some way or another. Heck, even websites show you native device notifications now if you allow them, but I guess it’s easier for an app to get you to agree to that, even if the app is just a website wrapper…
My tablet for some unknown reason sends me messages about my phone and cable bill being due. Like not an email notification but a separate notification out of nowhere and I can’t figure out how to turn it off. I removed my cable app from the tablet thinking it’d do it, but it still happens. Like fuck off, I know I owe you an exorbitant amount of money.
the only apps that are allowed to speak to me are messengers, weather, and my bank. Nothing else has speaking privileges.
Lol, I would never allow my bank app to speak to me. “Dude, you’re broke as f***!”. I know, no need to announce it on a full bus.
was thinking more “hey you just got your paycheque :)” and “someone in Cambodia is trying to access your banking account”
This came up a few weeks ago. It helps retention, which helps app store ranking.
