I was concerned when my kid started soccer and they wanted parents to get an app to get updates on cancellations and to see the game and practice schedule. Fortunately there is a browser version and the app is not necessary. They just don’t advertise this.

    I went to a dentist's office that promoted how easy it was to schedule a appointment and manage your records on their app.

    I usually am much more polite but I flipped and said, "I don't want a app for that!" And scared the front desk staff.

    I walked into Walmart for the first time in years to return the shitty thing I bought.

    The cashier at returns mentioned thier app makes returns easy as I flip through photos of receipts on my phone.

    "I'm sure it does but I don't install non critical apps. I don't need Walmart looking at my phone, tracking me or pushing notifications"

    She just shrugged.

    Whereas my child's doctor appointments and records are only available via app and don't have a website. And the app is no longer supported on my phone OS so I have to run the previous version. I hate this.

    That’s the worst. Have you spoken up about it? I think they try to be the most convenient and to be “with the times” without realizing that one way does not fit for everyone.

    The problem is that it isn't their own in house app - they contract it out. I should say something, but they aren't going to change providers. With HIPAA, it's probably a huge pain without many options. Complaining to the app company makes more sense, but I'm sure I'd get even less far. I suspect I'm in the far minority that care and run non-stock android.
