I’m so sick and tired of every single website and service trying to push an app on me. No, I don’t want to download your stupid shitty app, I’ve got dozens and I don’t want another one that I don’t use that interrupts me to push stupid notifications. Now get off my lawn!
Hell yeah. I was furious when I learned that you “nEed To InsTalL tHe McDoNaLds ApP FoR tHe CoDe!” for their monopoly-game. Wtf?! Just give me my fucking mcsundae-coupon right now, goddamn.
Same. I have to use bill.com for a contract, I swear they made their website as mobile un-friendly as possible because they push their app so hard. Like, I use you to submit one invoice a month I don’t need an app to do that, fuck off.
The issue of companies wanting to force apps while you don’t want another app. Instant apps are a halfway point between a webpage and having to download an app, the app’s never actually installed on your phone. It’s not much different than a site with heavy CSS.

What country are you in? Here in Canada you didn’t need an app for McNopoly
Germany. I’m envious!

They can’t track your every interest to sell to other assholes if you don’t use their software though.
Now, don’t you feel sorry for the poor companies who can’t make money off of you when you’re on sites completely unrelated to theirs?
It just breaks my heart.
I agree. At the same time I love webapps the provide alternate interfaces like wefwef/Voyager and Phanpy.
Android tried to fix this issue, no clue if anyone uses it through

…what issue? It isn’t technical. I just don’t want another stupid shitty app.
