It's funny how mcdonalds did everything in their power to make it almost impossible to run their mcdonalds app on a rooted phone, but their backend infrastructure is beyond broken (security wise)

The McDonalds consumer-facing app is quite possibly the worst app from a major company I've ever encountered. It's shockingly bad.

The UI is atrocious.

I do computers for a living and can barely navigate and figure out what’s going on.

I noticed it freezes up on me sometimes when I open it. I assume something is blocking instead of being asynchronous when it pings their servers, but instead of waiting to dismiss a loading screen it just shows the full app and like freezes.

My guess is that they’ve got a million feature flags and a/b test variations going on because it’s just so tempting to “growth hack” in an app like that.
