One of the things I love about meh is
I DON’T GET HARASSED TO USE AN APP! Please don’t ever get an app! It drives me nuts how almost EVERY site bugs me to get their damn app, and some won’t even let you use anything else.
@yakkoTDI Companies would prefer that you use their app instead of the website because they can spam you with notifications without needing your phone number or email address.
At least on an Android phone you can turn off notifications on a per-application basis but I would guess a large part of the population either doesn’t know how or continues to use the default settings.
@werehatrack I thought I had heard that it doesn’t. But if it does, then I love it all the more for not trying to push it on me every damn time I come here!
eBay and Amazon and Nextdoor are awful that way - pop-ups every.damn.TIME!!!
@Kyeh@yakkoTDI I just got a Morningsave notification today. It said something about saving time not waiting in line and that was it. Click on it and it opened the Morningsave app to the homepage.
The thing that bugs me is when I have an app that I have already rated and even put in a text review for, stopping what I’m doing to ask me to rate and review.
Your numbers are not going to improve.
Reminded me of this XKCD.

@Kyeh And 99% of the time their “app” is just a modified web browser.
@Kyeh Meh’s sister site Morningsave has an app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.morningsave

@Kyeh
Uhhh…
Don’t look too hard, but Meh has an app.
I won’t spoil your day with a link.

@cengland0 @yakkoTDI So that’s why they do it, huh. I have begrudgingly accepted a few apps but they take up too much phone space as well.

App constantly stops to beg for attention and validation.
Otherwise, it basically performs the basic function I was looking for it to do.
@PocketBrain I should buy app a puppy; maybe then it will leave me alone.
