Really weird pop up that directs me to App Store?!

[katherinegrey]

I've had this twice in 10 minutes now! No time to screen shot even, some random animated guy popped up then straight off to App Store which I promptly closed.

One might have been a betting thing?

iPhone 5s in the UK on safari.

Me too. iPhone 5 on safari also. Keeps sending me to App Store x

I get a pop up every few screens. It overtakes my current screen, and is a link for a game. It has the option to cross off but every time I do it just takes me to the App Store.

 

[hayz_baby]

Yes I have, just saw this post had it for a few days now on and off

Is this still a problem? If so could you please answer the following questions:

Device
Mobile version or desktop if using a handheld device
Browser
Ad company/product
Can you close the ad
Frequency after closing the ad
Any further information you feel is relevant including feedback
Screenshot (really helpful)


Thanks x

Hi, same thing happening to me, using iPhone/ on safari when on B&B, very annoying. Hope there's a fix x

 

[hayz_baby]

Just had it now, ironically after reading this thread x

I'm not really clear how frequently it is appearing? Is it just once but a pain to close or ...?

Had this maybe 4 or 5 times over the last few weeks. Same advert, iPhone 6 on safari mobile site. I'm on here most days, several times a day so doesn't happen every time I connect or refresh.

I had lots of problems with pop ups, very frequent this morning (3-6am) each time I clicked to read a post it would redirect to the iTunes Store or to a site where I've won an iPhone. Ive cleared cookies, reset my phone etc I assume it's a problem with my iPhone.

 

[Wobbles]

Redirecting to the app store is a different issue as these are pop-ups that have been reported.

Could you take screen shots please?

Less than a handful in a couple of weeks closed only once would not be seen as disruptive/aggressive ads. x

I've had the same one, probably less than once a day though. It's a pop-up but then if you press the 'x' to close it opens up App Store (though that might be my fat fingers accidentally clicking on the ad).
Hope that helps
