My main shop is Amazon. They have so far not insisted on it but keep asking us to do it.

That sounds like a good plan, I'm not a fan either.

@allknowing our amazon doesn't really mention the app on their website, it's definitely still ignorable.

While Amazon does not insist I just notice one here that opens up to a page where we are required to download the App first. I will not go there,.

@allknowing U have bought several items from Amazon, the last being a glass screen protector about mid September. So far I have never bothered with any app whatsoever.

I don't like it when they make it a must in order to buy something or use their service. If I can purchase a similar product from other stores I would.

Since I don't have a cell (or mobile phone) I can't download any kind of app

I hope you are talking about flipkart. yes it is indeed terrible to download the mobile app. when i have just 1/2 mb and surhf for an urgent in flipkart, it shows to download a app to get access over it. I really hate that thing so i stopped flipkart and prefer amazon.

So does Snapdeal. I will not go there. I normally shop through Amazon and so far they have not insisted on it.

@allknowing yes indeed. I just love amazon as it is now assuring great quality of service with faster delivery. Flipkart is now just a doomed site for me .

I hate the idea. They take up real estate on devices, but I resist. I add almost nothing. If they will not let me shop from my computer without installing an app, they will lose me as a customer.

I am so dependent on online shopping that I do not know what I will do if that becomes compulsory.

@allknowing I would switch back to buying with catalogues and calling their 800 numbers. I did that long before online shopping was invented.

Well there's a good way to lose some business. I'm never in the favor of downloaded added junk on anything and to me, this is what ninety five percent of apps are, junk. Then again, I'm not an app person, and only use my mobile for emergencies.
If someone wants me to download an app, the place really must not want my business. Which is perfectly find with me. If it's how they want to roll, it's how we're gong to go. Perhaps it's time to head to the actual physical store to shop. At least you don't have junkware shoved down your throat there.

I enjoy that activity Val. We have choices and also items are delivered, and money refunded if we are not satisfied, etc. The only thing I am worried now is this App which might become mandatory. Amazon has it but they do not insist atleast for now.

It is annoying. Some act like we won't be able to access what they offer without one.

I usually ignore the apps as I prefer proper websites, plus I don't want to download loads of apps ill use once, so if they just had an app I probably wouldn't use them.

More and more shops have come up with Apps and some are insisting on them.

I like the concept of online shopping but everyone asking us to download Apps is what is bothering me.
