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.

Now I've got a dating website. DH is just going to love that one

RigglinRoundTheChristmasTree · 13/12/2013 16:23

Game of war to start with.

Now it's happening with dragon city.

Eastpoint · 13/12/2013 16:25

Game of War keeps opening on the App Store for me too. I'm NOT interested in it at all.

Hanginggardenofboobylon · 13/12/2013 16:27

Yep Game of War - Fire Age is the latest.

Us again! We'd already blocked the category 'online gaming ads' coming through but there are always going to be some which obviously are not classified correctly on the supplier side, meaning they do sneak through. We've blocked the specific advertisers and will send an email to let the suppliers know that this is happening.

Sorry about this. Please do let us know if you're still having problems.

MirandaWest · 13/12/2013 16:39

It's happening to me but not clicking on any adverts. Am on safari on iOS 7 on the mobile site.

TheArticFunky · 13/12/2013 16:39

Yes still having problems. Can't use MN at all as it is going into the App Store constantly.

PseudoSanta · 13/12/2013 16:40

It just happened as I came to read your response Julie - so it's not fixed!

MirandaWest · 13/12/2013 16:40

Just happened then after I posted that post

catonlap · 13/12/2013 16:46

EmpressOfThe7WillowsandTaras · 13/12/2013 16:58
