Honestly, I want something that blocks spam notifications.

Specifically, things like "you have a free credit" notification from Lyft, or Amazon's "Check out our new sale" notification.

My phone should not ding for nonsense like that. That is SPAM, and that is not something that I need to know immediately.

The problem is that apps like Lyft and Amazon have rather important notifications, so blocking all notifications from those apps is not possible.

I opened several tickets with Lyft complaining about this. In a recent version you can turn off. Settings -> Notification Preferences -> 'Discounts and News' = off.
