Trying to force users in the app - Dark patherns
The developers of Mapstr work very hard to block you from using the app in parallel to other apps... here are some examples: 1. You cannot copy the name of a place(!), they specifically made the text un-selectable. Very annoying when you try to find the place outside the app or simply share it to a friend who's not using Mapster. 2. There is a link to the website of a restaurant sometimes, but that link opens in their buggy in-app browser. Impossible again to copy the link or open in your native phone browser. Why make the experience so bad? My guess is they try to avoid users from doing things they consider bad for their own business. All they are really achieving is bad user experience.
