Impossible to avoid clicking ads

The placement of ads between the story and all the comments makes it impossible to scroll down to see all the comments without inadvertently clicking an ad and being redirected. It is so insidious that I suspect the app and web site are conspiring to inflate pay-per-click revenue. The latest version of the app seems much worse than before. Otherwise it is a great app but this makes it unusable. So it gets just 1 star.

Prominent ads

Fairly basic. The ads take too much screen space, uninstalling.
Contacts Framework
The Contacts framework provides Swift and Objective-C API to access the user’s contact information. Because most apps read contact information without making any changes, this framework is optimized for thread-safe, read-only usage.
Core Foundation Framework
Core Foundation is a framework that provides fundamental software services useful to application services, application environments, and to applications themselves. Core Foundation also provides abstractions for common data types, facilitates internationalization with Unicode string storage, and offers a suite of utilities such as plug-in support, XML property lists, URL resource access, and preferences.
Core Graphics
The Core Graphics framework is based on the Quartz advanced drawing engine. It provides low-level, lightweight 2D rendering with unmatched output fidelity. You use this framework to handle path-based drawing, transformations, color management, offscreen rendering, patterns, gradients and shadings, image data management, image creation, and image masking, as well as PDF document creation, display, and parsing.
Core Image
Core Image is an image processing and analysis technology designed to provide near real-time processing for still and video images.
CoreMedia
Foundation Framework
Launch Services
Swift
The powerful programming language that is also easy to learn. Swift is a powerful and intuitive programming language for macOS, iOS, watchOS and tvOS. Writing Swift code is interactive and fun, the syntax is concise yet expressive, and Swift includes modern features developers love. Swift code is safe by design, yet also produces software that runs lightning-fast.
UIKit
The UIKit framework (UIKit.framework) provides the crucial infrastructure needed to construct and manage iOS apps. This framework provides the window and view architecture needed to manage an app’s user interface, the event handling infrastructure needed to respond to user input, and the app model needed to drive the main run loop and interact with the system.
