The number of ads has increased dramatically. But one significant thing has changed within the past several weeks: My phone's Back button no longer takes me to the previous page. It exits the app entirely. WHY ???. This is unlike EVERY OTHER APP under the sun. It is beyond annoying. I'm not in marketing, but my guess is that having to click to re-enter the app gives them more of a certain type of click that allows them to charge advertisers more. 😡
