I’ve been playing the app JustPlay for over three years and never really had an issue. However, now the ads that they show before you even get a chance to click the X button, it automatically opens Safari and then I immediately get notified of a malicious website and a tracker was prevented. I am forced to put my Safari on private mode so this way when a ad does open Safari, it opens the private load instead of the regular mode. After about one hour of gameplay, I go into my Safari and have to close out about 30 windows of malicious websites. Not to mention the ads that they show are fake and claim to be a site that they’re actually not. How many reports do I have to make to Apple before they investigate this and shut it down. Platform JustPlay itself is fine, but the countless adds that run from 30 seconds to a minute and a half are all malicious, fictitious, etc. Even though I have all the extra privacy measures in place and cross site Tracking prevention, I am now starting to get random spam. Emails. Which in itself is weird because number one if you have your privacy mode open, that’s supposed to protect you yet, they get my email, they get my phone number, how is this protecting us? I used to think Apple was superior because of their protective measures. Everything is hackable, and I feelthere needs to be more quality control implemented to keep on top of this. This particular ad is for a patch supposedly by the Mayo Clinic and you stick it to your belly and you lose 25 pounds in a matter of a week however, when the ad forces open my Safari, it’s actually a casino.
I understand Apple vets the apps to make sure they’re legit, but do they actually play them to see what we see? How does Apple,(which, by the way has its own security measures to prevent this!?) there’s even an option in your settings to block certain websites and I’ve listed so many, yet they still pop open. Forcing me to believe that certain settings in the phone aren’t even real either. Not everybody has common sense, and still believes that all glitter is gold and yet when someone falls for a scam and then you report it to Apple for a refund, you never get it. Meanwhile, your information gets sold, which opens you up to a whole other mess. Is anyone else having these issues with the app just to play? There’s also many disturbing ads that show child abuse, sexual content, and so much more. I wish not to get into those details.
I currently have the 17 Pro Max and it’s updated to the latest software. Please help stop these malicious sites and disturbing images as well as inappropriate content.
