I actually think this might be a violation of the developer agreement for the play store. You should report the app and see what happens.

The ideal solution would be to just not buy Starbucks.

I’m not usually big on boycotts since corporations are entrenched enough that they need gov’t intervention to do anything meaningful but the totality of the circumstances and the likelihood of a better local coffee shop in your area would tell me to skip the awful Starbucks setup.

If the best way to patronize them is inconvenient I would hardly call it a boycott. I'd call that basic capitalism.
