Hi I keep getting redirected to app store whether I use safari or dolphin browser or even google chrome. I am on ios 7.1.1 so no jailbreak and couldn't care. What is causing this? I tried deleteing the browser histories and even trying restoring my idevice no use. When I search this on google I see a lot of the same problem since 2009 so why hasn't it been fixed to this date!? Really annoying.
iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1.1
Does this happen when you're connected to wifi or both wifi and cellular.
This issue is not a problem with the core iOS. It's a problem that orginiates with the sites you visit and / or the ads on those sites. Or someone hacked into your router and changed the DNS server settings to point to ones that help serv up these redirects. So it's really not something for apple to fix.
If this is happening when visiting specific sites, those sites are causing the redirect. This may be a sign that the site in question is disreputable, and should be avoided, or it may indicate that the site has advertising that has been hacked or used in an unethical manner by one of the advertisers. In the latter case, the site admins should be alerted to the problem.
If it happens every time you open your browser, you may just need to reset the browser. For Safari, go to Settings -> Safari -> Clear History and -> Clear Cookies & Data. I'm not sure what the procedure is for Dolphin.
If the problem persists even after you have done this, you may have a hacked wireless router or otherwise compromised network. See How to manage a hacked wireless router.

In my experience with this I was being redirected when viewing CNN.com, which is obviously "reputable"
I then looked at the DNS servers assigned to my phone and noticed they were different than what I generally use, and s since they were assigned by DHCP I looked at my router and low and behold they were changed on there's so someone had hacked my router.
Thanks for chosing the apple support comunty my name is jaydin can you try somehthing for me

hey GTR_LOVER

I had this problem on several devices at home. I finally did a factory reset on my wireless router and updated the firmware. No more problems.
Iphone redirects to app store? Why still not fixed.
