You should have said - “The notification badge on the MOBILELEASH iPhone app”, which would remove any ambiguity. And if including a photo say, “similar to this notification”.
Help desk people and forum users tend to look at specifics rather than vague references.
You might not like the numbers appearing in the badge, but I think it’s a bit extreme to call it a joke of an app.
Surely the simple solution, to the number bothering you, would be to drag the icon off your main home-screen, so you don’t see it.
I do understand, I too have to respond to badge numbers, (some form of OCD I suppose). But if the app functions well, then a badge notification is a minor point. Though again I agree with you, MOBILELEASH should provide a simple way to clear it.
