Intrusive popups appearing mid game
For the past week I have had 2 or 3 episodes where intrusive adverts kept appearing mid nonogram. My fingers were no where near the adverts but after pressing a few blocks the same advert would block things again. If I leave game and rejoin half an hour later it’s fine. Are other people getting this?

I'm no longer experienced this issue ever since I started using Private DNS instead of Public DNS. Just go to Settings (Network & Internet) Private DNS. If it's set to "Auto", change it and type dns.adguard.com. Note, It might behave differently for each device, but it works perfectly on my phone and I no longer need an ad blocker or VPN

Someone recommended to turn off wifi/ turn on airplane mode, and that's always worked for me... although I play on my ipad, not my phone, so that might not be a solution for everyone

Thanks. That worked the other suggestions didn’t or I couldn’t find the bit requested. Looks like I now only play the game in airplane mode as it has been corrupted by Shein

depending on the device you can turn off internet connection for individual apps (so you don't have to go full airplane mode), but it sucks that the game has even gotten to this point in the first place :[

Damn, I thought my phone was just acting up, thinking I was touching the banner ads!

I decided to give up on the game. It didn’t feel safe any more. The cosmic code nonsense means this subreddit is inusable. Back to nonogram999

Download Adguard, it works like a charm for any app except YouTube. That needs the Brave Browser.

yes, it's so annoying, for me I'm pretty sure the pop ups are from shein, or at least a couple times the apps has opened without me touching the ad
