Boop: pet care

Very poor app. Support team is rude and I am sure they are reading your private messages. It’s not a professional app for pet caregivers. It’s just an app that connects you with strangers who either work from home or are students or still in school and can take care of your pet same as asking your neighbor. The whole SYSTEM how to use etc is not clear. No step by step guidance what app expects from you and then they just block you. They say that they did everything by the rules well I guess it would be good to find a way to make it easier for users to understand your rules.

The following answer is produced by Chat GPT: Is it legal to create an app which blocks its users if the user chooses to use another payment method instead of paying via the app in EU No, such an app would likely violate EU competition and consumer protection laws. Specifically: 1. Digital Markets Act (DMA): • The DMA prevents “gatekeepers” (large platforms with significant market power) from imposing restrictions on users regarding payment systems. For example, app providers cannot force users to use their in-app payment system or punish them for choosing an alternative. 2. Unfair Commercial Practices Directive (UCPD): • Blocking a user for choosing an alternative payment method could be deemed an unfair practice, as it would limit the consumer’s freedom of choice and could be considered aggressive commercial behavior. 3. Competition Law (Article 101 and 102 TFEU): • Such practices could be considered anti-competitive, especially if the app developer has a dominant market position. Restricting users to specific payment methods can limit competition in payment services. 4. Consumer Rights Directive (CRD): • Consumers must be provided clear, fair, and non-discriminatory terms. Punishing a user for opting for an alternative payment method might violate this principle. To summarize, in the EU, creating an app that blocks users for choosing alternative payment methods would likely be illegal and subject to legal challenges or regulatory action.
