Repeated force forwarding to Lazada Mobile when using Clubsnap App

[TANHK]

To Admin, Mod and fellow CS,

Not sure if this happens to me only, anyway like to share my below experience using Clubsnap App,
Started 2-3days ago when I access Clubsnap App on my Samsung Tab and Xiao-me mobile phone, I experience repeated force forwarding to install Lazada Mobile.
In the end, I uninstall Clubsnap App, and use the browser to access Clubsnap.com instead. So far no more problem, hence this feedback.

Thanks.

Do u accidentally click on any ad?
Using Xiaomi Mi4i phone with CS apps. So far never encounter it.

The Lazada thingy doesnt happen to just Tapatalk, it even happens when I clicked the link which people shared on FB. I think it's unlikely Tapatalk's problem.

In the beginning, it did cross my mind, I may have click on to some ad, but I doubt so when same problem crop up again and again. I tried uninstall and re-install Clubsnap App.
In addition, I tried clearing the cookies/history /data files and restart. My mobile phone is Redmi, did a virus scan, clear Cache and Ad files, but same thing happen.

Cheers

You could be right. Better to feedback just in case.

By the way, just to clarify, I am not familiar with Tapatalk, I saw the pop-up but did not install. Did I missed something.

Cheers

So quiet, no one has similar experience .... I guess my experience is a isolated case which is good in a way.

Just for sharing, come across an article which describe the author experience and seek to explain the probable causes. http://readwrite.com/2014/05/15/app-redirects-mobile-spam-ads

"As mobile apps take over our devices, advertisers are beginning to use so-called “deep links” to encourage users to download even more applications. When someone taps on a deep-linked ad, it takes them from an app or mobile browser directly to a separate application or a download page in the platform’s app store.

These types of advertisements are becoming increasingly popular. Deep-linked ads account for a large portion of Facebook’s ad revenue.

Mobile ad redirects result when malicious—or maybe just faulty—JavaScript in a mobile ad runs on a Web page. When you’re browsing your favorite website and suddenly find yourself in an app store, it’s the result of a bad deep link. (Sometimes you can end up on porn sites, or even on a porn site masquerading as an app store.) ....


....Most publishers use third-party advertising networks to distribute ads. These networks are responsible for delivering redirects. Websites buy inventory from networks that are in charge of delivering advertising content, thus forced to display whatever they get. ..."

The problem happened using Tapatalk or ClubSnap apps?

Hi Huatman, when I use Clubsnap apps.

Might not be CS Android app but other apps. Used to get forced redirect to Lazada app installation on Google Play. Uninstalled some app that allows you to download MP3 for free (dodgy yeah) and the problem went away. Still using CS Android app.

Base on the article I link earlier, suggested third party advertising network responsible for delivering the ads. But having said so, this happens to some and not everyone.

Further update, I decided to reinstall CS Apps to my Redmi afew days back and glad to report back so far so good whenever I access it.

By the way, frankly, I was hoping but there has not been any official response from CS Admin or Mod to my initial feedback more than a week ago, :think:

Cheers
