I download the Zedge app this morning, installed and opened it. About 5 porn sites opened - I was pissed! It's a shame they have to stoop to this level to post porn ads. I uninstalled the app.

Weird. I have no explanation for this recent behavior some people are experiencing but I will say it's not typical for Zedge. I can only hope they can get a better grip on their sources.

Ah. Like many free aps they use rotating ads for income. Seems they've got a rogue to weed out. I think I'll shoot them an email as well to give 'em a little more impetus.

EDIT: Email sent & would encourage anyone else interested to do the same. Developers need input.

Dear Zedgers,

My name is Tom and I'm the CEO and Co-founder of Zedge. It's true that some shady advertiser has been able to trick us and our filters. We're really sad that many of our users experienced this on Zedge. This is way below our standards and all our employees will work hard to avoid this from happening in the future. Millions of users trust Zedge every day and we hope for that to continue. We are greatful that you are speaking well of us here on Androidcentral, and for being Zedgers. We do not take you for granted, and we truly appreciate you!

-Tom

Yay! I actually decided to ignore the porn and tried again. Yes, I got *one* pop up but it's been porn free since then and I'm enjoying the app tremendously. Thanks, Tom!

Very classy thing for you to speak out publicly, Tom. Thanks for doing so as well as providing what I've always felt was a terrific app. Best wishes and "good hunting" as you weed out the sleaze.

Good move going online and explaining what the issue is. Glad it's fixed! My kids use Zedge and these shenanigans would be unacceptable.
