Take this as user feedback.

I downloaded the app and it asked me for a forced login using Facebook, with no other choices.

I was expecting to at least be able to bypass the login screen, browse the app a little, and login once I have something to contribute to it or do something with it, but I never found the option.

I don't mind creating an account, but I do mind sharing my Facebook profile even if it's as little as the name and email. An additional option to just register using email would be welcome.

I just uninstalled it and moved along.

Also installed only to see the only option to login was Facebook. I don't have a Facebook account (sorry, not creating one for this).

it's almost worth making a fake facebook / google for so many logins like these - to try new apps / websites / products

[herbst]

I did that, but facebook tends to remove those accounts after a while if they show no activity and i lost access to some accounts, because people who forget to have alternative login methods also usually dont have ways to login when your facebook is lost.

Facebook only sucks and has to avoided.

Like that service where you can spin up a fake, but usable email...hm. I like it.

[benkarst]

Thanks. I think you're right.

I will give the user the option to skip in the next release.

The app was originally designed to have more user interaction (voting on favorite dishes from a menu) but now it's core value is in the Hapibelly rating itself. The majority of users won't need an account.

That said, it's a free app. I'm not spamming or selling anybody's personal info.

Well, because it's a free app, I'm even more wary.

That isn't an accusation, btw, just why I prefer email-based logins.
