Default Mobile Scoobynet please forget me

Hi All,

Having my iPhone 5 i never had an issue with the SN mobile app, it asked me if i wanted to go to the site, i said no and never saw it again.

I've now upgraded to the iPhone 6 and my phone automatically goes to the mobile site which is full of spam with gaming adverts that you can't close and automatically transfer you to the app store.

When i finally get to full site it's forgotten me and need to enter user name and password again.

Quite simply, is there a way to stop my phone doing this or even better, is this day in age do we really need such add and spam filled mobile alternative sites?

Use ScoobyNet through the Garage Talk app.

I hate the mobile version as I pay to get rid of the adds and when I'm logged into the mobile version it's just full of them. To be honest I don't see the point of any mobile version of a site with modern phones. I generally just close the page if it's a mobile version.

Wrx300scooby, I feel as if I'd sign my life away if I download any app tbh. I hear that Internet people can spy on you via an app. I don't need that.

Sometimes, I've downloaded some unnecessary app but deleted it because I so hate cluttering my Apple devices screens. My Windows laptop screen is hugely cluttered with my docs and folders, mind.

The (minimal) ads on the Garage Talk version are non-intrusive. I like it.

There are some very clever people out there, I've been very wary about what I download and what I click on. Saying that, I've recently put Pingit in my phone, touchwood Its been fine using it so far

I know what your mean websites are bad enough. But if you have an Iphone you can select what information they can access, hence why i bought an Iphone, most Android devices don't have this, i'm not sure if any manufacturers do.
