Issue of Adds

I use this app for a student with a kindergartener with special needs who love the visualization of the timer. Unfortunately today we saw Temu underwear adds - horrified he clicked on it and was lead strait to a 5 year old inappropriate site. I might not be able to use this app in the future.
