Constantly moving ad in app

There is a new immovable advert for a grammar checker at the top of every thread in the app. I cannot continue to read a thread as it scrolls horizontally incessantly. It’s really horrible and making the app unusable for me. Can this please be changed?

Hi Both @dogbeck thanks for letting us know about this ad.

Is the issue that its distracting/annoying? You mentioned "not able to use the app", is that because it's causing other issues whilst scrolling?

The adslot at the top of the page is always present across App and web. We have limited control what individual people see, but are always trying to reduce and remove unwanted/inappropriate ads.

Thanks!

@dogbeck That doesn't sound ideal.

We are trying to work with more ad partner in app so that not only are the ads more varied but are more relevant.

Often we find some advertiser are not always adding a frequency limits to their ads, so we get into situations where they do show more often for a short amount of time. Thankfully this is not often but does happen more in apps due limiting signals compared to the web version.

Thanks for raising this with us!

@RaraRachael
As mentioned above, we try to limit these annoying ads and often need to ask which ones you mean.

Is the one attached often on screen? shifting a lot?
