Why in the world does every store, every service, every organization need an "app"?
What is wrong with having a decent, functioning website?
I do not want to read, buy, organize and research things in an "app". I want websites. I mean, why do we have those big screens, right?
I hate, hate, HATE apps. I hate having to use my phone.
Why is everyone trying to make me use a tiny screen, a crappy "keyboard" with minuscule keys, and insists that is progress?
@Firlefanz You expect people to enter a cryptic "URL" into a text field of the "Internet" app instead of just not doing that? Where would you learn about that URL and how would you remember it? You can google it every time but that bears the risk of ending up on the wrong app site when the right one is not the first result. Why would you make it so complicated when all you have to do is tap the app?
I mean, I agree with you. But businesses try to serve the most incompetent parts of the market and in some cases I'm happy about that because that includes me.
Well, right now, a lot of places that just used to send me statements are trying to make me sign up to their "app", and I really hate that.
And some even want to charge me fees if I don't. I feel harassed.
@Firlefanz Oh, I can't stand that as well. It's an issue with web sites as well though. My bank, my insurance, my health care provider, my other bank, my phone provider, my home internet provider, another insurance and some things I can't be bothered to look up the English translation for all have set up a message inbox for me. Some notify me by mail or email when there's something in my inbox. Some don't. I mean there could be some legally important information be waiting right now in some inbox I never check because companies apparently can't send actual information over email anymore.
For over a year I haven't been able to receive my payslips because some 2FA app isn't compatible for my phone or my back-up phone. So I just don't get to read or check my payslips anymore. Nobody cars. Can't do my taxes accurately anymore either. I will be forced to care about that. I guess I'll have to buy a phone the app provider likes at some point.
Totally awful, unfair and it really shouldn't be even legal.
