It's one per day per DEVICE. As stated we are moving to 100% opt-in. As a result, you will be able to block Airpush ads if you detest them so much, while other users can elect to keep them to help support the developer.

Can't we agree that user choice is the best option here? Or would you only be happy if the entire concept was eradicated? The latter doesn't make sense to me.

It's an abuse of the notifications system. So, I'm definitely in the "eradication" camp.

Sometime, even user choice is not acceptable because the feature is so obnoxious.

"Check this box to install malware: X"

For me, AirPush is in that category.

Come on asherisaac, be honest and imagine that you leave the company you work for so you can assess its business model more objectively: do you still think it's okay? Honestly?
