This app is acting like a virus. Please fix.

Agreed. It's difficult to avoid.

Same thing here. I could see accidently fat fingering something a few times but it's never a post, always an ad that opens. Feels scummy.

I'm sorry to hear that sounds pretty frustrating. Can you provide more information about what may be triggering the issue to help the devs/ad team squash it?

p.s. I moved this thread to the Site Questions, Issues and Suggestions forum

The app has been doing this to me for a few weeks. And I've given up. It seems as tho ads can now trigger a script to launch the ads app or play store if you are missing said app when you hover over the ad. Aliexpress was first, it's a lot. Now temu and Walmart. This is me announcing my departure from the app. Hopefully brave will help, unfortunately slickdeals will no longer receive ad revenue from me.

Ads (Walmart, Alibaba and Temu) when scrolled though with a finger on it, doesn't matter how delicate the scroll is, triggers a popup/app deeplinking. Very annoying. If you leave the ad area alone, no issues. This is not fat finger case as I have successfully managed to trigger the popup by carefully scrolling though gently without clicking the ads. I am not using this app until this it's is resolved
