It’s against terms of use for push notifications.

I turn off notifications for exactly the same reason. Aggressive advertisers will ruin anything they can. Mind you, I don’t object to subtle adverts in context, but notifications — or, worse yet, text message ads — really rust my zipper, as it were.

That’s total BS. My guess is they won’t do it for long.

My response would be:
1. Cancel subscription.
2. Delete App.
3. Send email to managing editor detailing steps 1 and 2 as well as why.
But, that’s just me…

Using notifications for advertising is a great way to get customers to ignore future “important” messages.
