    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.

        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.
