Please feel free to use this post as a network mingle. Every toplevel can be considered a new post, and threadjacking is permitted. No NPC response will be given. Usernames are the character's full real AU names, not aliases or chosen nicknames or usernames, and seemed to have filled themselves in; nothing characters do can change or obscure their names currently. Characters who have been in game for one month will find they can now change their profile pictures; newcomers are locked into their first choice. Upon opening this entry at all, characters will find themselves spammed with notifications and strange glitched texts until they make some sort of suggestion for a new application feature on the Retrospec app. This can range from a personalized friends list to a watermelon image gallery to a watergun charging station. It doesn't have to make sense or be useful - it just has to be a suggestion, at which point the application will return to normal.

A block feature for these intrusive notifications. Disable auto-updates. The ability to uninstall the app. Let me change my name, picture, anything. The possibilities are endless, should anyone at your company actually try and think things through before inflicting everyone with your broken, shitty app.

[true_noir]

Given the state of their corporate office, I think they are unconcerned with what we think of their customer service. Very unconcerned.

[godcards]

Yet they mention HR and new features. Some sort of competition. Then again, with how broken the message is, you're probably right and it's a complete farce.

What do they gain from any of this, I wonder?

[true_noir]

Part of me dreads the idea of what the prize would be for a winner. Their hair might turn bright pink for their trouble. Nothing about this seems well thought out or logical.

And part of me wishes I knew what they gained, part of me wishes to know nothing and simply be left alone.

[godcards]

I just want to be left alone. You'd think a company specializing in social media would recognize that not everyone wants another app forced on them, and to listen to their outraged userbase, regardless of how contrived said userbase is. Since it seems like they'll choose to ignore this anyway, I see no reason why I shouldn't be allowed to opt out.

[sharplydressed]

if they actually listen to even one single piece of advice here it will be a literal miracle ┐(´～｀)┌

[godcards]

They should be open for feedback if they aren't going to listen to it.

Though honestly I have my doubts as well. They can't even form a coherent message, I doubt they're even capable of reading replies.

[sharplydressed]

you probably nailed it.

i don't even know if they'd read these things even if they could though, honestly? when we checked out their hq earlier it was totally empty.

[godcards]

Fantastic. A dummy company pretending to be into social media, and they have key information on whoever they consider users. Full names to start, but who knows what else they have.

They aren't even trying to not be suspicious...

[constellates]

malik's here too now! hello (´・ω・)ﾉ
notifications can be changed, I think. or at least adjusted so you don't get everyone's....

[at which point anya will write out the step by step instructions?

she's here to Help]

[godcards]

Whoopee.

It's not 'everyone' I'm concerned about, it's all these broken ones and the awful music that comes with them. This is the second time it's happened!

[constellates]

oh you don't like the music you get? (?・・)
that's unlucky....
did you already do everything the app asked for?

[godcards]

Unlucky? It's autoplaying, looping music. It's intrusive and unnecessary, even discounting that all the songs suck. If there's a way to make sure I never use this app, it's that.

[ Except he's using it now but u kno ]

I had no choice. It wouldn't let me change my name or anything, though. More reasons to the ever-growing list of why I hate this app.

[feminitis]

+1

to all of this basically but especially the notifications part, they're getting really REALLY annoying

[godcards]

The music and stupid cat pictures are really not necessary. A single update notification is really all it takes, even for as stupid as these automatic downloads are.

[aegist]

I'll plus one everything on this list. jfc.

[godcards]

Maybe with enough backlash they'll attempt some damage control. At the very least, some comprehensible updates or user features.

Or that uninstall option. That's the one I'm really hoping for.

[aegist]

You and everyone else, apparently. But if it's been around for a month (apparently?) and still doesn't have that...

[rhapsodeity]

well, malik, i hate to be the bearer of bad news, but...
these are the complaints people had last month!!!!
did you not see???

[godcards]

No, Jade, because I didn't have this incompetent, utterly useless app until it downloaded itself onto my phone last week!!!

[rhapsodeity]

so it is spreading?
hmmm
have you shown this application to someone else? i do not want to make you even more aggravated buuuuut.....
a lot of people cant see it for some reason :\

[mercurio]

oh hey i can totally change my profile pic

[this is not the way of making friends, prompto]

[godcards]

[ this is the most offensive reply by far ]

WHAT. HOW.

[mercurio]

[you see this comment? he already changed his pic at least twice now. can't decide on one...]

[mercurio]

i dunno. maybe premium user experience? lol
