Pinkun Plus: advert blocking text

[Pyro Pete 2,354]

See bottom of attached image. Please fix this. Better yet, don't use adverts on a paid for subscription service.

So not only are they charging but they still have kept the awful ads. Great.

[Google Bot 3,936]

I'm more concerned why they put "went against us" in brackets - did Dowell whisper that part as Smith is sensitive about such things?

Seriously - ads like that on a premium service sucks.  Why don't they put it inline with the article if they had to? Is always floating in that lower position?  Just looks awful.

I had it on trial but couldn't get it to work 😪

Cant believe that Badger🤣. A dedicated bean counter like yourself . I think it's because they don't talk finance so much.

🤭

the system of recording and summarizing business and financial transactions and analyzing, verifying, and reporting the results .  Badgers life.😉

Yep. Worse still, it flashes over and over again. Annoying as hell.

It worked via my desktop but not on my phone or laptop. I don't know if it's to do with the browser - are they different on phones. I've never had the problem with other subscriptions like Newspapers or the Athletic. I wanted to support local journalism but not if I can't actually read the articles!

Sorry 😞  I can't help you with that one. I have enough problems remembering my  mobile 📱 number and up to now haven't subscribed.  Goggle Bot maybe be able to help. I'm also a bean counter. Mine are coffee beans though hopefully 30 tonnes this harvest😉

I expect the preferred method is to use the pinkun+ app for mobile devices.

Simple solution........don't subscribe

You’re right that’s just basic. “Quality journalism” [!]

@Pete Raven hi there.  I too am suffering from the same problem.  A bit of a pain as sometimes the final sentence in an article summarises the point that the author is trying to get across.  Could the adverts be placed elsewhere if they cannot be removed altogether from this supposedly advert free subscription.  I trust you'll pass this on to the powers that be.

That didn't work either. Installed it three times.

It would be quicker and more reliable but less hygienic! 😃

Works fine for me but I'll ask if it can be fixed.

Will an adblocker not get rid of the ads?

Some sites won't let you use them with ad blocker on.

Thanks, Pete. Much appreciated.

For me the fault is occurring using the Android app on two different devices. Both are up to date.

Or maybe someone could email me the last two sentences of every story each day? (just kidding!)

[shefcanary 2,956]

Still happening, what does the last line say?

[Pyro Pete 2,354]

@Pete Raven has there been any progress on this?

I'm still getting this problem using the Android app on two different devices.

We would be grateful if you could chase this up, or provide the email of someone we could contact about this. Thanks.

[Pete Raven 276]

This should now be fixed with the addition of the commenting system on articles although please do send another screenshot if this isn't the case.

[Pyro Pete 2,354]

Still happening unfortunately. Screenshot attached.  Just to confirm, this is occurring on the Android app. I checked on Google Play when the last app update happened and it said 5 January 2022.

Thanks for following this up, Pete.

[Pete Raven 276]

Strange how you don't have the comments section. Thanks for flagging. Let me chase this up.

Maybe he has the 'S.Webber' updated version, and no comments necessary!  😉

You may need to close the app fully and reopen, or if experiencing consistent issues, a delete and reinstall should resolve as that will trigger a fresh load of the config.

Many thanks Pete, my android tech items seem to work okay now.  I have even been using the comments there.
