Comment on I switched it off for a reason!

So sick of all the feedback, rate us, try this feature, what’s new, turn on feature x, etc. that seems to be a part of everything nowadays, even Linux apps. Linux wasn’t this bad only a few years ago and mobile OSs cranked this up to 10.

If I want to rate an app, I’ll look under feedback in the help menu.
If I want to see what’s new, show me the changelog…once, right after I update.
If I want to turn a feature on/off put descriptive toggles in the settings menu.

Everything that can be seen from the default view should 100% revolve around fulfilling the function of the app for the user.

If an app asks me to rate it, or checks what my rating is going to be before sending me to either a feedback form or Google Play, depending on my response, then it instantly gets a 1 star review

  The best is when you open a newly installed app and it asks you straight away to rate it.

  I hate the ones where I already rated it… and it keeps asking me even more. It’s infuriating.

100%

My banking apps CONSTANTLY harasses me with garbage, and the options are either to concede or to “skip for now”.

No, I want to skip for always!

  We know you have no money in your checking or savings account… and you’ve said no at least 50 times in the last month… BUT would you like to use this investment brokerage we’ve partnered with?

Same for websites with the popup “how do you like our website?”.

It was cool until i got the popup!

When apps do this I rate them 1 and leave a note explaining why
