Investigating Fake „Open in app store“ pop up

[TattooedChicks]

4:04 and 4:09pm central time, on mobile google chrome. Just had this happen again with the blank redirect for an ad of the homepage.

Apple, iPhone 7

Hi, good morning BYC Gods,

I see that y'all are still working on this. I'm just providing feedback and updating that I'm still getting this.

It was really bad over the past few days and the glitch thingy would kick me off the site almost anytime I tried to click anywhere. It was so often that I couldn't keep up with screen shotting (shooting?) it.

It is still doing it this morning but not nearly as bad. Yet.

Here are screenshots from the last couple of times it happenedthis morning.

I'm wondering if it's on my phone instead of the site?

I also had this pop up and this is new.

Please let me know if there is any thing else I can do to help.

I have an iPhone 5c. That has been the only thing I've accessed the site from in the past month or so.

Thanks for the info!

It seems this is only happening on the iphone, correct?

Which browser are you using to access the site?

 

[theuglychick]

Yes, it's never happened on the other devices.

I'm accessing it through safari.

I can try to go through google and see if it does the same thing.

Thanks for the info!

Im on here via Google browser.

This is WAAAY better than safari! I have to tell everyone about this Google thing!

So far The Glitch has not happened and kicked me off yet.

haha!

Thanks for testing! I'm glad you like it. That said, we'd still like to find / fix the issue for people on Safari... but I'm glad you've found a workaround in the interim.

I spoke too soon.

This just happened while in the google browser when I clicked on a thread ...

Bummer!

Ok, but it seems like it's being targeted to just iPhone users regardless of browser.
