What People Don't Like About Mobile Apps

Mashable has a very good slide show of what people don't like about mobile apps. The slides are worth seeing but if you're time famished, well, here's the short version:

Too many emails
Irrelevant push notifications
When great apps are abandoned
Frequent "rate this app" requests
Connecting to Facebook unnecessarily
Full-screen ads
Video ads
Non-wrapping text
Non-retina apps
Desperate pleas for followers
