Hi our bamba ice cream app and sever other of our bamba apps have ads now.   They never had them before and in the App Store they are listed as having no apps.   Help please correct this!

### 1/5 — Dead bodies!! Rated R shows. Inappropriate ads

*2017-04-26, version 1.2.13*

Want your little kids to see a fake dead body?? How about sex jokes? The ads that are now on ban a ice cream are not ok for kids. They should change the suggested age. 
Also, there are ads every two seconds now!!!
