Here’s a glitch that may actually end up costing me in the real world.

AB2 always wants to show me ads. It’s common in a lot of “free” games nowadays, so I’m used to it. The problem is that I don’t want the constant views of these ads eating into my monthly allotment of cellular data, so I want to play the game in “offline mode” whenever I’m not on wifi. I’ve gone into my iPhone’s settings and turned off cellular data for several apps including AB2. This works… for a certain period of time. I can play when I’m out and about and not see ads (or get the offers to view an ad for an extra bird). Then suddenly I’ll start seeing them one day, and notice that AB2 has taken up several megs’ worth of cellular data. If I go back into my Cellular Data settings, and flip the switch for AB2 to on and then off again, and go back into the app, I’ll get a warning that I’ve turned cellular data off for AB2. That’s what I want. So why doesn’t it stick? Is this a bug in the app, is it Apple’s problem, or is it my cell provider’s?

Thus far I haven’t seen the same issue with other apps for which I’ve disabled cellular data. If I tell them to stay offline when I’m not on wifi, they obey. End of story.
