There is a Hamilton County, Indiana pop up that doesn't go away and acts like a video whenever I open SD on iOS app. Can you guys please remove this?

thanks for the heads up and sorry about that. ads like that aren't allowed. i will pass your report along to the ad team so they can squash it. if you see it again and can get a url or screenshot that may help them track it down more quickly. you can post either here in the thread or shoot an email to [email protected] Thanks

perfect. thank you! the ad team generally works standard business hours so there might not be anyone available to take a look for awhile longer but i think the additional info should help. sorry again for the inconvenience.

I have the same issue and a family member is starting to experience it too! Sometimes 3 to 4 videos/ads will appear at the same time on top of one another. Really annoying when trying to scroll through the app.

If possible, can you please try to grab a screenshot of the ads and email it into [email protected]? Screenshots can help the ad team try to track down and remove these types of ads from the rotation.

I have emailed [email protected] with screenshots and provided more information. Hopefully this gets corrected.

Still occurring. Happened twice while checking this thread for an update. Full screen video ad pops up out of nowhere and overtakes the app. iOS
