This app doesn't work on an app level, it works on a message or notification level.

E.g I want uber to tell me when food or my driver is arriving, but I want them to fuck off from spamming me about discounts or other nonsense. This app allows me to keep for the former but block the latter.

I know you just used Uber as an eg. but, as I alluded to before, many apps [inluding Uber] allow you to fine tune what kind of notifications they are allowed to send anyway. Go under the 'Advanced' tab for App Notifications and, for Uber I get the choice to yay or nay:

* Discounts and news

* Account and trip updates

* Location use preferences

* Trip suggestions and reminders

I had no idea, thank you! I've tried to make granular changes to some other apps that spam me with ads and assumed Uber was the same.
