Forums - Website Topics - Why does the app store keep popping up!?

So, Ive noticed for quite some time now that while browsing this very site with my Samsung Galaxy S3 phone, that Googles App Store keeps popping up without any reason. I havent klicked any links or whatever, Im just reading, and all of a sudden - BAAM! App Store (or whatever the name is). I thought, "hey, maybe its just my phone...", but now, as Im browsing this site with my iPad, the same shit happens! BAAM! App store. Havent clicked on anything, but there I am, having a look at the app store. Its annoying as fuck! If I wanted to go to the app stores, dont you think I would have gone there myself? I dont wanna get transported there while having a read here! So, wtf?



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Fuck you VGC! Im not gonna visit this site for the rest of the day, because I wanna relax in my couch and NOT sit infront of my PC, but I cant do that because the fucking app store keeps popping up EVERYTIME I open a new thread or goes back to the home page. So fuck you VGC!

I hope the rest of you will have a good day though! See ya once Im on my PC again.

Happens to me every 3 seconds when I'm on this site through my iPhone. It's virtually impossible to visit this site on a phone it seems.



I sometimes have the same problem, but it seems to be working right now. At first I thought I was just touching the commercials, but I don't think that's the problem.



I first noticed it around Christmas. Has been a problem ever since.

Yea, that's why I stopped browsing on my ipad and on phones. Too many intrusive ads that sometimes throw you straight to their in store app, I hate that.



Yes, it's super annoying on iOS and Android devices. There is nothing wrong with some banner ads, but autostarting Google Play or the iOS-AppStore (or pop-up windows on every platform) is too intrusive.



Thanks for bringing this up, DS. It's been happening a lot over the last few weeks, and it's really frustrating.



This issue has been raised many times and every time the thread gets locked without an answer.



Its just ioi preparing you for the future...
