Popup blocker Grant. I use NeverAds. Lots of options. Site sucks without them on mobile.

Purify worked great for me. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks!

happens all the time. i've gotten to the point where i don't check RL on my iphone or ipad any more. it's just too much of a hassle. i wish IB would fix it.

since we're in complain mode (and rightfully so as those pop ups are crazy annoying), i'll also ask this -- do we really need two different vehicle for sale sections? really confusing

Is it possible for the Admins to make the App work again as it stopped working with latest software updates on the iphone. Using safari is the only option on iphone.

If you want to continue using Safari on iPhone without the pop ups, download Firefox Focus. In the settings, acrivate Safari integration. It’s free and works well, you won’t see any more ads or pop-ips while using Safari.

I used the free Norton pop-up ad blocker and seems to have helped

Pop-up blockers may work, or at least help. That said, for me this is ONLY an issue with Rennlist. I do a lot of things on the net with both my iPhone and iPad, and this is the only site with which I have this problem. Which means this is an IB issue, not our issue. They need to fix it. No one should have to install add-on third party software to get around this kind of problem. As a temporary band-aid, sure, because problems can happen. I think everyone understands that. But it is not, nor should it be, a permanent, ongoing solution.
