| ▲ | loloquwowndueo 2 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | Then the app gets no notification permissions. Also why does a gas station app need to send notifications? :) | | |

Chances are they’ve had a lot of customer complaints because some popular free VPN interferes with their app, and adding a blanket warning about VPNs is easier than trying to figure out why it’s not working and fix it. |
