AMAZING APP

Is absolutely amazing and shows all kinds of amazing stuff

1 star and being harsh

I recognize that giving this app one star is a dick move. However, i'm so frustrated by this and 1000 other apps. This app falls the same category that 1000 other apps all seem to fall into: namely, they will send you a notification, and if you tap on that notification, you are taken to the apps user interface as if you had just opened the app regularly.

If I tap a notification I expect to be taken to a screen that shows me exactly--in front of my face--what it is I was notified about. There should be a red dot, or some sort of popup that tells me exactly what the notification was about.

Anything else is just like getting paged back in the 1990s--it just proves that the app wants your attention and nothing more.


PUT IT IN FRONT OF MY FACE.
