    Don’t disagree with the above comments, however it was a free app, and if the app is free then who’s the product?
    It’s amazing 1) how many people don’t understand that principle, and 2) how many people do and don’t care and still use those services.

    So it wasn’t as big a “private details” vacuum as they’d hoped/expected, par for the course with Google.

    Have you been into the Chase wallet app lately? It’s littered with ads that can’t be removed.

    I just opened it up and just one page there’s an ad for Straight Talk Wireless, Wilson Shoes, Total Wireless, Orkin Pest Control, Whirlpool Appliances, Hello Fresh, Lululemon, and dozens of ads from other companies I’ve never heard of right on the main page. Granted they are below my transaction list rather than above it, but there are a total of 51 companies advertising in the Chase wallet app this morning.

    The AMEX wallet app is the same. At least AMEX hides the ads behind an “offers” tab.

    Meanwhile people are handwringing because the Apple Wallet app has ONE ad that can be dismissed away and never seen again. Give it a rest.

    Couldn't tell ya.  I don't use captive apps because I know companies love them as advertising vehicles and data collection tools, as you describe.

    Apple Wallet is a supposed to be a neutral ground, electronic version of your physical wallet, not a vehicle for companies to hawk their wares, Apple or not.

    I hold held Apple to a higher standard, but I guess not everyone does.  Just because you've already capitulated doesn't make those haven't have opinions that are any less valid.

    Same reason I have an Apple TV, and not a Roku, or a cable box, where ads are part of the UI.

    Enjoy your corporate shilling.


    Oh good god, “corporate shilling” what a stupid thing to say, might as well accuse him of being “Soros funded.”

    It’s called discovery, and only trolls and children are all hot and bothered by a little discount offer.

    I know why this article was posted, but when is Apple going to give us a real hardware update that’s worthy of two thumbs up.
