What makes me crazy is like, you have an app that is needed, let's say your bank app or transportation ticket app or a required gov app, or anything like that.

Then, one day you are in a hurry to do something, like buy a ticket for a train that leaves in 3 minutes, or find the number of the train that you are supposed to take in the e-ticket.

So, you open the app and you encounter the following error "A new version is available, please update to continue using the app". No way to discard that and do whatever you have to do in a hurry. So you think, let's update that fuckin app. Ok, internet is not working well, let's connect to the train station public wifi. Oh they have a broken captive portal that is not loading or redireting you to the login page... ok let's find the captive portal connection ip/url.

All good, internet is working, now we go to the app store, starts the update, wait a minute for download, and...

bipbipbip not enough remaining storage space to install the update. You have to understand them, they needed to pack inside the app, all the PDF with picture of their ecofriendly policy of planting trees each time you swear while using the app, and sadly that increase the app by a few mega bytes...

So then, at this point you missed your train and you hate more than anything else in the world, the *** product manager at company XXX that decided to 1) force using an app, 2) decided to force an update that you can't skip.
