Dominos has been abusing push notifications on iOS recently. They have two push notification settings, one for order events (being made, in the oven, ready for pickup), one for marketing. Even with marketing off, they've been sending marketing notifications. Dislike.

The first time an order app starts abusing the notifications for advertisements I uninstall it and start looking for a competitor to give my business. No second chances.

For an app like Domino's or MacDonald's or the like, I just install it on demand and then uninstall it after using it. There's no way I'm keeping it around.

Works great just opening the site in a browser here (UK)

Same experience as the app, no notifications

Misuse of push notifications means an immediate loss of push notification permissions for me.

Yikes. I don’t bother with the app- their mobile web is way better.
