I understand the problem of spam in notifications, but my question is, what's wrong with deleting an app that spams you, or not installing it in the first place if you don't trust their use of push notifications?
- jvzr 13y agoMaybe I want to play that great game everyone recommends, and yet not receive their f*cking marketing push?
- gmac 13y agowhat's wrong with deleting an app that spams you If it already woke me at 3am, lots. or not installing it in the first place if you don't trust their use of push notifications How am I supposed to form an opinion as to my trust or otherwise in this company/developer before I've even installed their app?
- krichman 13y agoWhy don't we err in favor of the user instead of the developer? It's bad enough that they cannot get apps from anywhere but the App Store, give them a break.
- vacri 13y agoI find it hard to fathom why you seem insistant on an "all or nothing" approach being suitable for the entire marketplace.
- lardissone 13y agoThe problem is not with spammy applications, but with others that you don't need notifications at all. I don't know, new Google's Hangouts, I don't want to receive notifications, but I don't want to delete it, because I may use it sometime. Also, you're thinking as a developer. As a developer that cares on the user, so you probably are thinking that your app will have internal notification settings, about frequency and which to notify, but in the real world it's not a standard, sadly.
