Didn’t work for me I tried multiple numbers I don’t care for ads if it works

### 1/5 — Ads have broken the app- cannot exit from them

*2025-06-19*

I used to really like this app for efficiency of accessing new numbers daily but thanks to the latest update, the app is now completely unusable.  Not only are ads unlikable but they’ve removed the button to exit from them entirely.  Ads completely hang up app and prevent user from getting past them.  Very bad!
