Adverts opening the App Store again.

It's happening again, like it did with the Dragon City ads, only this time it's 'Empire of Kingdoms' and I think one called something like 'Game of War'. It's just happened on 3 pages in a row.

I'm on the mobile site on Safari on iPhone on iOS 7.0.

Game of war. I'm on my mobile, can't even see the ad, but when I scroll down it randomly switches over to the ap store.

itstooearlyforsanta · 13/12/2013 15:45

Yes the app is opening automatically, it's for game of war.

PseudoSanta · 13/12/2013 15:44

The ad at the top for Game of War - the App Store opens on the page for that game even if you don't tap the add, even if you're nowhere near it...

Hi,

Do you mean that the advert for the app is opening even when you don't tap on it? Is it one particular ad?

Brew?

I'm offski for a bit. It has rendered MN unusable Sad

UsedToBeNDP · 13/12/2013 15:27

Oh it's MN that's doing it, it's it? It's driving me ducking bonkers.

I thought it was my phone. It's a pain in the arse!!

RigglinRoundTheChristmasTree · 13/12/2013 15:24

Very irritating! I can't open a page or scroll without it happening.

Thanks Julie, I seem to remember it being sorted quite quickly last time, so fingers crossed it's not a big problem! Cake

Hi,

We're so sorry to hear that you're having problems. We've flagged this thread to tech.

itstooearlyforsanta · 13/12/2013 15:12

Same here. Safari, iOS 7, iPhone 5. Impossible to use the site.

DoubleLifeIsALifeOfSorts · 13/12/2013 15:10

I can't even wrote a whole message without this happening

Is it done kind of pathetic attempt to make us buy the app???????

I'll give it one last go and if it does it again I'm off mumsnet til it's sorted.

tabulahrasa · 13/12/2013 15:10

Misread the OP as the ap, probably because I can't do nothing, lol

DivvySBird · 13/12/2013 15:10

Me too... About 4 or 5 times now!

DoubleLifeIsALifeOfSorts · 13/12/2013 15:09

Yup it's fucking annoying, happened 5 times in the last couple of minutes...

tabulahrasa · 13/12/2013 15:08

I'm on the mobile sit and it's doing it there too.

smable · 13/12/2013 15:08

Yes happening ever time Ioad a page. I've disabled the App Store in settings so I can still use the mobile site but that's not a long term solution.

sebsmummy1 · 13/12/2013 15:08

Yep has happened to me about five times too every time I scroll

TheArticFunky · 13/12/2013 15:08

It's happening to me too! Thought it was a problem with my phone!
