Annoying ads
Pop up ads are making the app unusable. Had to ditch the app and switch to web browser
Unusable: Full of ads
Ads throughout the app, everywhere you look. TOTAL TRASH. A pop up video ad appears frequently in the lower left while browsing a forum. Out of no where a video ad will take over the entire screen and the only way out is to close the app. Before and after every response in a thread is an ad. And there’s always an ad at the top. Totally unbearable. It’s always been a janky and visually unappealing app, but the proliferation of ads is unforgivable. And I don’t remember a single brand or ad I saw! If you dare open the app I recommend hovering your thumb over the lower left so you don’t have to look at the pop up video ads. But really, don’t bother with the app if you care about your sanity. Someone needs to create a better deals platform and put this one to rest. EDIT: The trick is to have a VPN enabled to get rid of most of the ads. But ideally people could just post the deals on Reddit or someplace else instead to avoid this altogether.

Ads have been ruining this once wonderful app
You navigate to the forums tab and it’ll display all the categories immediately. You go to select hot deals and what happens? Just before you do, an ad appears, shifting the list of categories down. So instead of going into hot deals, you’ve opened an ad. This seems intentional and strategically placed in order to get clicks.
Additionally, there’s other issues such as the status bar on iOS being white on white, hiding the clock and other info displayed there.
Pages also aren’t properly sized to fit the screen (for a 5.4” mini at least) and is slightly zoomed in so unless you zoom out, you can’t swipe back as that will just move the page.

Videos keep popping up
Make full screen videos stop
Buggy, keeps kicking me out after logging in, new interface is worse
Auto-update kicked me out of my account. After I log in and verified, it’ll jump back to being logged out with token error. New interface is also horrible and breaks the existing forum schema making it difficult to find things.
Nuisance ads
As if the forum was not making enough money, they had to bombard us with useless ads rendering it unusable.
Ads have broken the app
Auto play video ads in the middle of browsing threads have made the app basically unusable.
Annoying ad
Ads are more annoying than porn sites, video ads popped up when scrolling.

Intrusive banners in forums
Completely unusable now that they keep displaying banner ads when reading the forums
Was good, now sucks
Banner for commission notification has made the app inconvenient to use. Otherwise as well, it used to not recognize signed in status on forums unless you refreshed. Maybe these guys changed their devs. Better off using the website.
Video Ad Blocks everything
They added a pop up video ad makes it unusable. Trying to scroll down to read a post and a video ad pops up for RedFlagDeals. Trying to swipe it away and then start scrolling down and immediately it pops up again. Swiped it away again and immediately it comes up again. After 10 times in a row without being able to read anything I gave up and had to just go to the website on my computer.

Dark mode workaround
Accessibility>Per-app Settings>Add app>RedFlagDeals>Smart Invert>ON
Full of ads & no dark mode
The tittle sums it up like other users pointed out.
We may earn a commission banner broke the app
The banner is displayed twice when going through hot deal posts and has made the app somewhat unusable.
Full of ads
Ads throughout the app, everywhere you look. It’s ridiculous. A pop up video ad appears when you click on a forum post now. You can’t save your favourite forum topics on the home page anymore. It’s always been a janky and visually unappealing app, but the proliferation of ads is unforgivable. Total garbage

2025 and still no dark mode.
Lazy website and app developers. All they care about is ad revenue, not user experience.
No flyers
How is it possible there are “no flyers” on Boxing Day. This app is terrible
