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.

Other one is 'Game of War - Fire Age'. Just happened again. It's made by Machine Zone, Inc

I just clicked on this thread and boom! I was in the App Store. Ironically.

Happening to me too. Over 5 times now. Can't scroll down the page without it happening

Going to give up for a bit, impossible to browse at the moment. Have reported my post to flag it up.

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

sebsmummy1 · 13/12/2013 15:08

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

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.

tabulahrasa · 13/12/2013 15:08

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

DoubleLifeIsALifeOfSorts · 13/12/2013 15:09

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

DivvySBird · 13/12/2013 15:10

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

tabulahrasa · 13/12/2013 15:10

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

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.

itstooearlyforsanta · 13/12/2013 15:12

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

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