Close second: conference apps.

They infuriate me. Data harvesting machines in all ways. Incredibly user hostile.

Example: making me scroll endlessly through attendee lists. Lack of good filters. Etc. Can’t download attendee lists.

I finally lost my patience and wrote a Selenium script to page through an app and extract everything. Worked well after some initial trial and error.
