BBM No Ads: Feature or patch?
So I finally did my second app store purchase in my life today, and it leaves a sour taste in my mouth. I've been using BB since the Pearl days. I have 4 Q10s on my plan for family, and who know how many others using BBM. Unfortunately, we've all been complaining to each other about how the notifications icon frequently shows the red mark for something new when there isn't anything there (by nothing there I mean no legitimate notifications, just sponsored invites).
This subscription is nothing more than a software patch to make "new" alerts actually do their intended purpose. Why they ever decided to make BBM act like this on BB hardware just baffles me. Most flawed ad implementation process ever. Now I just have to go buy 3 more subscriptions to fix my other phones this morning. I wonder what the chances are for bulk/gift subscriptions.
Am I overreacting or is this just what it's become now? You can't just show banner ads anymore they have to be forced fed to you inline and masquerading as content?
