With the latest TF iPad/iPhone app update comes an onslaught of sponsored ads that appear as posts. Is there a way to turn these off or block them? I find them very intrusive and annoying.

I would like to add that I don't at all like the new app!
However, that is just a first impression. We will see how it is in a couple of weeks.

This new app sucks is my totally and completely biased opinion but the reality is this new format is the only hope the site owner has to monetize their app traffic. Last time I checked, which was around two years ago, almost 25% of TF traffic was generated through the app.

Hey Nomad, not even me? I'll have to try harder!
If you cross the gulf, wave a tea towel as you pass the Trail Islands, I'm lurking here now. In fact, if you get to Pender Harbour, send up a rocket and I'll come and catch your lines or we can have a beer in the pub.
Fortunately I don`t use the mobile app, but the ethical issue of barring adverts which support the site financially exercised my mind when considering using an advt. blocker. There seemed to be so many sites accompanying my every move on TF it was affecting using the site. I expected Owners to join the discussion, but they did not....reality is this new format is the only hope the site owner has to monetize their app traffic.

I don't know how it happened, but I no longer get the ads disguised as posts. Divine intervention.
Well If you ever figure it out, let us know! I just updated the app, and I've got like 50% real threads, and 50% ads. I use the app a lot, and it's definitely something I'd like to be rid of.

Ok... after a few weeks, I have actually grown to like it a little bit. Who knew?
