> nag you that you're near one of their location

The Tim Hortons app doesn't do this. I don't think it sends any notifications at all, at least I've never gotten one and I haven't disabled notifications.

That was meant as a general statement about many of this class of apps; sorry if that wasn't clear. So the TH app doesn't nag you, it just takes wildly inappropriate amounts of data that it has no legitimate business collecting. Awesome...they have that going for them.
