Insincerity of apps can frustrate users into quitting them.
Self tracking can feel like a tyrant; demanding and planning things for the user.<ref>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/09/160908141724.htm</ref> Self tracking tools tells user what their goals should be and that can be very irritating. Many apps do not personalize those goals, eg recommending loosing weight to pregnant people. Some push their own agenda, eg lastfm encouraging listening to more music. Apps can produce more psychological pressure to conform to perceived normal. Apps can contribute to legitimized bad ideals.
