How to remove the Google pop up on my calculator app??

You're right that Apple would never allow this.

Please specify exactly which app are you referring to.

Some app developers choose to allow ads in their apps so they can make money, but it shouldn't block the screen. It could be a bug in the calculator app, so find a different one or contact the developer.

Install " WHAT? " - post a screenshot?

Taking stevejobsfan0123's idea a step further... I am curious as to why the Mighty Google would PAY an obscure Calculator App developer to display ads (??)

Google is the last company in the world to need such, being the #1 most visited domain in the world.

Maybe the behavior is a "Proof of Concept" - i.e., proving to other potential advertisers that the App CAN display an ad and what it looks like when doing so. (?)

I was thinking along the lines of an iAd gone wrong (i.e. covering parts of the screen when it shouln't), and I had the impression that it was an ad for the Google app in the App Store. Of course, that's just my take on it.

I gettit... my point still is * why would Google NEED or Want to advertise in any meagerly installed-base App? * -- or at all for that matter (#1 in the world?) -- sorta like Apple advertising in an App (#44 last I checked)

maybe we'll see? maybe not if the OP takes your advice 😎

Since this is the iPad forum, and since iPads do not include a calculator app from Apple as part of their default iOS build, this has to be an app you installed from the App Store. Why not just delete the bothersome app and grab a different calculator app? Many free ones will.be ad supported, but there are many to choose from.

Pcalc Lite is free to download and I think is ad-free as well.

Ah, yes, I see your point. 🙂

However, they do it in a number of apps that I use. A screenshot from the "Free" Wallpapers app that I downloaded.

Howdy, amigo

I continue to be bumfuzzled...

You have an iOS App [unnamed] shown, and it displays an ad for some, also unnamed " Google app " ¶ FREE in the App Store => [*Install Now].

OK... is this advertised App an iOS App, I wonder? From the iTunes App Store OR is this from the GooglePlay App Store? If an iOS app (or not), why would a developer agree to advertise its competition in his/her own App?

OR, is it (as I posited earlier) a demonstration of a "proof of concept" that the developer, not yet having any Advertisers, CAN display an ad and what it would look like?

*sure doesn't look like what the OP describes... is it "dismiss-able"? Screen rotate orientation while displayed? <[ sjf's " iAd gone wild " idea ]

sure be nice to get an App name from the OP for testing, huh?

just sayin'... "go to Google" has been an NSFW LINK for ages - why not adapt it to my proof of concept idea?

... we wait for data ... I am getting dumber by the post!

it's not an ad for an unnamed app, it is an ad for The Google App, an App for iOS made by Google. The Google app, by Google Inc. is Google's own search app for iOS. Google Inc. has some 10 or 11 different Google Apps in the Apple App Store and they advertise all of them via iAds and pop ups in other apps that use the advertising revenue to support their no-fee apps.

The app that I am showing is called Wallpapers. I said that in my post to you. Michael explained the rest of it for you.
