Whoopie-doo. 
I have now uninstalled that app. 
Okay – from a marketers standpoint, I can see how an app that reminds me it’s there is a good thing. But as a user, not good at all. Something to think about if you’re deciding whether your company is going to have mobile apps or stick to a mobile website: “How much annoyance will my customer tolerate before they cut me off entirely?”
