- onion2k 7y agoI'd still uninstall the app.
- yreg 7y agoWould you uninstall Uber if they sent you a coupon via push notification?
- onion2k 7y agoI've uninstalled lots of apps when they've sent coupons via notifications. Notifications are to notify me about things I need to act on. They are not a marketing channel. So, yes.
- ajscanlan 7y agoIf you had the option to block the marketing notifications but still receive the important ones, would you do that?
- foxrob92 7y agoIf I could set the default for all apps to "block ad notifications", then yes.
- onion2k 7y agoThat depends. A business that uses notifications for marketing isn't one I want to do business with. If there's a decent competitor I'll switch. If there isn't then I'll decide to begrudgingly put up with it (and probably complain a bit on social media) or to do without it. So far I've never put up with it and always either switched to a competitor or abandoned the whole thing.
- have_faith 7y agoAs long as this option is presented before attempting to display any push ads, and not after.
- xxs 7y agoWhile I got no uber - totally. The taxi service I use sends stuff (receipts mostly) to email - it works well.
- whatsmyusername 7y agoDoes your app provide real world value like ubers or is it just Tinder for Dogs?
- throwaway55554 7y agoDon't have it installed in the first place. Why feed Uber any business at all? It's a trash company.
- bjelkeman-again 7y agoSo in fact it is an improvement. As some apps intersperse ads with useful notifications now.
