Banner advert in the app

[MagicFox]

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!

Yes, I've got this as well. Suddenly appeared after updating the app - iOS on iPhone.

Yes here too, very in the way, and also slows things down so the scrolling is a bit juddery, which makes it all very hard to read

Yep appeared on my iPhone yesterday too. So annoying but glad it's not just me!

For those using android, I've just installed the adblock plus browser & it's working perfectly - there's just a small grey stripe across the top of the screen saying 'advertisement'.

Normally I'd not use an adblocker for a site like mn funded by ads, but in this instance it's that or stop using mn on my phone at all.

Obviously a bit annoying to have to use a different browser just for mn, but no different to having a specific app I guess.

Today's offering is Mamas & Papas pushchairs.

The new top banner ad is annoying, but more annoying are the huge ads mid-thread, especially those with video/moving elements as I can't seem to stop them auto playing and it causes fuzzy interference with my hearing aids every.single.time I scroll past them

Same for me too. Very annoying.

Me too - banner ad at the top plus an ad every 6 posts throughout this thread...more than half my screen is advert's now and it makes reading posts very difficult.

On iOS.

Me too- IOS. It's really annoying.

Should have also said iOS 17.3.1

In addition to it being distracting (probably the point), it interferes with functionality like filtering OP's posts.

They could at least let us know that they are working to fix it 🤔

Is that Mumsnet Voices ad a permanent feature now? It's making me leave the app instantly because it's interfering with reading any thread having that in my eyeline all the time!

It's also surely no coincidence that the app has started glitching and freezing since these appeared.

This is happening to me too.

The Banner ads are flashing, constantly moving and jittery. Really off putting and making the app lag.
Very poor, please sort it out.

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?!

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

Same here, agree, v frustrated

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

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

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.

Me
Too

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

Same here!
