Upon opening this App it tries to load a !!!!!! website. If i hit the back it tries to download a !!!!!! app. Cleary something to do with the advertsing but in this day an age its unacceptable.Endomondo need to take responsibility as they have apparently known about this for week.Why not update the app to remove advertsiing until issue is resolved. I am not impressed as my niece uses my phone to play on a could have easily clicked on this.

I have unnistalled the app but where is the moral responsibilty from this company.

has anyone else had this issue and if so did it affect the rest of your phone. Id hate to think it also brought with it a virus

    Surprised it even connected to an adult site, if i use my handset on GPRS then if you try and visit an adult site, it is blocked at network level, wifi is good though.

    This depends on the account settings. Adult content block is normally in place by default, but can be removed as it covers as well, e.g., gambling sites, not !!!!!! only.

    Very true, for it to be activated (unrestricted access) on O2 you have o send a premium text which is credited back to the bill. I didn't activate mine, I can wait until I get home :o

    I strongly doubt that the company itself is responsible for this. Does sound dodgy.

    You don't mention which OS you're on; I presume Android?

    Seems to be a known issue:
