Tech company fail: Cover

I ate at a restaurant recently and used the Cover Android app. I actually think the app is pretty decent. However, now it demands I rate the restaurant for some sort of Zagat rating. Killing and restarting the app brings it back to the same rating screen. The app is effectively locked up until I express my opinion.

Seriously? Rate it or else? The answer is: Or else. I'm tempted to rate every restaurant 0 stars until the app stops forcing the question, but that really isn't fair to the restaurant. I'm just going to stop using the app. Way to go, guys.
