I nuked a food app recently because instead of opening so I could give them money in exchange for food they decided to police my phone for PCAPdroid by way of refusing to run beyond showing a message stating that I can't have PCAPdroid installed and closing after a 5 second timeout.

Fuck you, Papa Murphy's. What's your app doing that you're afraid I'll be able to see? You're blacklisted for life now.

Why would someone download a fast food app in the first place, I’d pay to NOT have that on my phone lawl

Very famous take and bake pizza place, literally not fast food.

Replace fast food with “corporate restaurant chain app” then

I totally agree but my wife does have the McDonald's app which gives decent discounts on food. I get to live the best of both worlds by not having to download the app while still benefiting from the discounts.

As a Papa Murphys lover, I can't for the life of me understand why you'd ever need to install their app. You can order from the website just as easily.

I'll give them a pass as I assume they got some bottom of the barrel developer to cheaply create their app and it doesn't get anywhere near the level of attention that something like YouTube's app would.
