Page 15 | Banner advert in the app

Hi MNHQ, There's a banner ad appearing in the ap (at the top) that makes the app visually really annoying to navigate. Will it be there permanently? It would be less bad at the bottom! Thanks!

Got an email from MN saying:
"We are aware of one flashing advert that's been causing a few people problems recently, which we have fixed today."
But it hasn't been fixed at all!

Same here, I've deleted and downloaded again but still the same. The app in general is bilge, so basic.

JaneJeffer · 20/03/2024 20:40

The app has frozen now and is not working at all except for the Monopoly ad marching across the screen. I’m going away until I hear bank from MNHQ 🤬

EarringsandLipstick · 20/03/2024 20:10

Yes, it's really annoying especially when moving - I'm currently seeing Monopoly Go ads, with all the pieces moving along in a line, it's really hard on the eyes

@MaggieFS exactly.

It's particularly annoying that plenty other threads have had responses and comments today. Site stuff questions not just dealing with trolls.

I am trying to work out why this upsets me so much. I think a combination of autism and flashing, but also why I moved to the app. To feed and sit with babies all night, quietly, reading, and reaching out to others, that's been taken. It's now impossible

CrushingOnRubies · 20/03/2024 19:44

Same here use the iOS app. It's really distracting

JaneJeffer · 20/03/2024 19:41

You can send app feedback in settings

Is there any point in this thread if no one is coming back to us? Is there another way of getting in touch with them maybe via e mail would be more effective? Twitter/X?

Really disappointed @JoMumsnet @mnhq haven't even come back with an update. It will have been a conscious choice to build this ad space into the app design. The very same app which never gets any of the benefits other platforms receive, but which a number of us users accept as the trade off for the simplicity of design and ease of reading.

👏👏

JaneJeffer · 20/03/2024 17:49

Hello is there anybody out there?

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 20/03/2024 17:11

I now have this and it's very annoying

Get rid of the banner or you'll lose members. It makes the app unreadable

Agree 🙌🏻

F1ymetothetoon · 20/03/2024 15:05

Any update @MNHQ?

The app is still doing this but in addition, once you've read a thread then go back, the thread above the one you just read becomes marked read. Not the one you were just in.

Yes! I thought I was going a bit mad as couldn't work out why I kept opening things I'd already read. This is also happening for me (yesterday and today).

Same here!

Madlymumming · 20/03/2024 13:55

I have it too. iPhone. Really annoying and app also draining my battery.

Driving me crazy, I've got Just Eat today!

Also experiencing app crashes and lagging since this banner ad appeared yesterday - but also back to ridiculous battery consumption from the app in the last 2 days as well!
Less than an hours use but 25% of my battery usage?!

Yes, my battery has just gone down by 40% in 5 mins on Mumsnet.

BaleOfHay · 20/03/2024 12:58

Same here, agree, v frustrated

hoonicorn · 20/03/2024 12:42

Annoyed by banner ad on app too. Take it away please
