Same here. This is not what I signed up for. It does seem to be in violation of apple guidelines - "4.5.3 Do not use Apple Services to spam, phish, or send unsolicited messages to customers, including Game Center, Push Notifications, etc."

also, this in 4.5.4 " Push Notifications should not be used for promotions or direct marketing purposes unless customers have explicitly opted in to receive them via consent language displayed in your app’s UI..."

Starbucks/Amazon do this all the time too. I want to know when my coffee is ready and not when you're having a sale or it's double star day.

I generally disable push notifications when apps start sending sale spam. But I feel like pushing political ads is crossing a whole new line.

I think this is the first time I've left a negative review for bad behavior.

I mentioned this in a recent comment but Grubhub has been using push notifications to advertise recently. I just received one from Lyft today as well.
