The bottom of the page ad is gone but now an almost constant redirect to download the app is happening. It's time to report this app and block the redirect to the App Store that keeps occurring on the ipad. If I didn't download this shit app the first 30 times it redirected me to the App Store I'm not doing so the next 30 times. What's wrong with the people who run this site? Why would you have such a blatant poor user experience?


I agree, the web admin should look into it.

 

There is a way for you though. If you're using mercury browser, change your user agent to Firefox or chrome. Or any browser that can force a desktop access as this redirect only happens on mobile web browsers.

Thanks for the tip. I ended up just blocking their bit.ly redirect urls at my router but I'll look into mercury browser.
