After a recent Vevo app update in iOS I have discovered that the new app version now requires a login to get past the splash page. Your choices are now to login with either "Email", "Facebook", or "Google+". The ability to use Vevo as a guest has been removed. There is no way to get past the splash screen without logging in.

Users are voicing their opinions in a large and growing number of one-star App Store reviews. However, keeping pace are the massive number of obviously fake five-star reviews.

If you value your privacy in any way please take the time to go to the App Store and make it clear your feelings about forced login to use an app.

I've removed it from my phone. I was willing to trade a minute or two of my time ignoring the ads on Vevo in the past but I'm not willing to login and give yet another media company a tracking hook related to any of my other accounts or devices.
