“Are you enjoying this app?”
I fucking was until you interrupted me.
@SecurityWriter @bitprophet no. It’s not a game, or Netflix, I’m just trying to order my groceries. I don’t need your app to be enjoyable, I just need it to be functional.
Worst of those of these are when the question is ‘please review the app’ and the options are ‘yes’ or ‘later’…

@meadow @SecurityWriter that’s what I do too.

@SecurityWriter A while ago, some authentication token application asked me if I was enjoying it.
Nobody would use this application of their own free will. It’s only ever used because your workplace or bank or whatever puts it in the way of doing what you actually want to do. The best rating they can ever hope for is “inoffensive”. And interrupting me further to ask for a rating *makes it offensive*!

@SecurityWriter @RonJeffries I’d love to go back to the olden days, where it was only apps asking that question.

*20s into opening a new app*
“Why not take a moment to rate us on the App Store?”
Because I’m now going to make hating your products my entire personality.
@SecurityWriter
I have a policy. If an app asks me to leave a rating, they get the lowest possible rating.No exceptions.
Those tactic skews ratings and makes them completely useless as a means of telling if an app is worth using or not. I'm tired of it.

@SecurityWriter "which answer will make you leave me the fuck alone?"

@dhemery @SecurityWriter @RonJeffries
It all begins with one question. We tolerate that one question. It doesn't stop there. Not one. Ever -
@SecurityWriter I pretty often take the time for a 1 star review for interrupting me especially since I have the iOS level switch to disable review requests, but apps use their own UI first etc…
@g @SecurityWriteri hate being prodded into being free labor for all these companies, i would not do it for a gift card so my default review is as low as i can go for everything when you prompt me cause fuck your scores forever

@dcbuchan @SecurityWriter Maybe Later!!!

@bob_zim @SecurityWriter This, but Teams/Outlook. Am I enjoying this app? No, I am not.
And while I know it’s a waste of my time, sometimes I provide feedback just as my tiny way of fighting back.

I HAVE NO TIME FOR YOUR SHIT, whomever wrote this garbage asking me stupid fucking questions about nothing. -

@SecurityWriter Another one, and I'm looking at you Fing, is would you like to try our desktop app which only runs on Windows and Mac?

@SecurityWriter I was having moisture problems in my crawlspace, hired a place to come out and do some repairs and install a sump. They did a great job, crawlspace is dry as a bone now.
But they asked me to leave a review on their Google maps page, and when I didn't, they called me repeatedly asking me to do so.
I tried explaining to them that I never leave reviews for any reason, but they kept pleading with me. I eventually resorted to blocking their number.
Apparently, this bullshit is spreading out into meatspace. We have really constructed a horrible place to live for ourselves.
@nuintari @SecurityWriter unfortunately, in this timeline, the score on Google Maps can make or break a local business, so I can see where they're coming from.
