the ads have gotten out of control, everything I do causes an ad to pop up. while not long they are very annoying and disruptive. I would pay to remove them but at $21 a week or $31 a month thats just absolutely insane. One of the most expensive premiums I have ever seen, most apps ask that for a year membership, especially for something so basic.

6/01/2025 - DO NOT USE. I've dropped to one star because the ads are so bad I can't open the app or navigate anywhere without multiple pop-ups. Ads are embedded in messages. They're selling space to malicious ads that are intentionally engineered to facilitate accidental clicking that launches malware sites. There's no way to report abusive ads. This application is enabling dangerous access to your device. I'm deleting my account and moving to a safer platform. Use at your own risk.

the ad experience on here makes it almost unusable. there's a 2 minute ad that highjacks your sound and you cannot skip and pauses when you move away from the app. it's impossible to exit the Snapchat ad on the first (or second...) click no matter how precisely you hit the x. locking basic LBS options behind the paywall is bad enough, but the asking price for one week is the same as a month (or more) on other apps. I've never even seen a premium user bcuz of this just kill the app already.
