An adult dating site ads pop up at top when my kid was playing ABC Zoo animals on my iphone.

An adult dating site ads pop up at the top of the game when my 5 year old was playing ABC Zoo animals on my iphone.

Fortunately, I was next to her and cancelled it.

This makes me very worried that much more graphic adult ads can pop up at anytime.

This app was explicitly sold as an app for young children and that is why I got it on my iphone for her to play with when she is bored on a car ride or at restaurants and need some distraction.

Is there a way to permanently block this from ever occurring?

Some entity I can report this to?

It just seems unconscionable that an app specially built and advertise for children will be running these type of ads. I am not a pude but there are limits to what basic decency allows.

iPhone 5, iOS 6.0.1

Absolutely agree with Kilted Tom.

I just checked their website and the ads are on their free app, the paid app is ad free.

The app developeer is likely unaware of this issue and I'm sure would appreciate a strong note from you.

Here is there support link

I'd likely give them 48 hours to respond and then

you might want to fill out a review in the iTunes store warning others. Here is that link.

Go to settings, general, restrictions, and set the explicit language if you want, also the ratings that can be viewed, and look at the other ones that you want to change also.
