What's invasive about a grocery store app? Seems less invasive than going to the store - they could always record you there and they certainly know what you buy.

If the app wasn't spyware, they wouldn't be so keen on getting me to use it instead of using a web page.

Nobody wants to use a grocery store web page on their phone, and nobody wants to use a computer instead of their phone.

Web pages work just fine on phones, except companies are suspiciously forceful with their recommendations that you use their app instead. Don't pretend Reddit isn't doing this; others do as well.

Are you kidding? I frequently stop what I'm already doing on my phone in frustration, and get out a laptop or turn on a computer to do it in a proper browser/screen/keyboard instead of an app/mobile browser.
