Banner advert in the app

Same here, I already had ads appearing in the middle of thread, but now scrolling on the top, and it really does seem to put strain on the app and make it slow

Another voice amongst the many to complain about this awful ad. It is headache-inducing. Please remove it. @mnhq

Why are MN ignoring us..

It's crashing as soon as I open the app now.
I did report the thread this morning and they said they'd pop back on when they had an update.
It's really pissing me off now.

Also reported.

Thank you and good idea. It's really distracting(!)

I've just "reported" this thread to MNHQ as they seem to be determined to ignore this. Don't know what else to try at this point apart from tweeting on it

This is awful- I came to site stuff which I rarely visit to find out if anyone else had reported. I can't bear to read threads on this.

Like others have said, mid thread ads are ok you can scroll on but the fixed intrusive bar at top restricts view and is too distracting and irritating.

I will check back tomorrow in the hope that this will have changed. I only use the app.

It's awful! I didn't realise at first what was wrong so I came to look on Site Stuff. Animated adverts are distracting, unwanted, unwelcome and intrusive. And when they're every three of four posts they're even more horrible. Please fix.

I'm on IOS, most recent one, most recent iPhone.

Also, it seems when I bookmark threads, the appear unread but the thread above looks as though it has been read, even though it hasn't been opened.

I agree, I understand companies need ads but the sheer number on Mumsnet has increased massively just in the last few months. I use the app because it's simple and isn't full of ads. The website is horrible, so busy and multicoloured that half the time I can't figure out what I'm looking at.
Constant advertising on forums like here, X, facebook etc is going to be the downfall of these companies in the end.

The banner ads are making the app very hard to use for me - the static ones are bad enough, but the flashing ones are horrendous, I've said it before but I find it very difficult to read with something moving on the page. I'm having to hold my phone with a finger over the top of the screen.

Please make it go away!

Adding my concern. Very annoying.

Just to add another voice to say please remove this
I swopped to the app after the web site changes.
This ad catches your eye the whole time and ruins the browsing experience.
There is nowhere to go after this, except to leave mumsnet and I have been here a long time and will miss it.

I agree.

The banner takes up too much space and means the app is becoming unusable

I'm deleting my app now, cannot be bothered with this. And @MNHQ it's not a case of a problematic ad flashing its the fact that all of a sudden there is an ad at the top of the page, was never one there before. It affects the view of the page on the phone, which affects the experience of the app , get rid of it for gods sake!

Is there any update on this please @JoMumsnet? It's making the app unusable.

It is awful. Even when it's not animated, it's THERE. And everything kind of moves up towards it and disappears into it when you scroll.

I’ve guy 5 on this page alone include 2 “retail investor” ones that warm you about not investing if you can’t afford it. But are also encouraging people to invest?

Today I have ads for things very local to me.

The number of adds has really increased recently. Not just at the top of the page but also in the middle of threads. It’s getting too much.

Just to add to the reports - it’s the IONOS ad on IOS browser that’s causing me issues. It flickers and flashes horribly. Hope MN come back on this soon.

I've got something advertising a cash bonus of $867. Yep, in dollars and I'm in the UK.

Nope, back to scrolling Monopoly figures. I'm fine with ads, but this placement & banner style is really distracting & affecting the user experience.

No it's not fixed at all. Frozen on my iPad and just about works on phone. And still with the ad across the top.

I have not read the whole thread but have just got various banner ads at top of the screen on the app.. can this be changed? Really annoying!
