A minute ago ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY magazine sent a notification that appeared on my lock screen: COZI is ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY’S favorite organizing app - back to school was never so easy to manage. Get the app, it’s free!
First off, using notifications for advertising is against the app store guidelines.
Second off, organizing has NOTHING to do with entertainment.
Third, the casual indifference to the copy makes me suggest that Time Inc thinks that this sort of thing is appropriate. It is not.
Update:
I have gotten this notification three times today.
