MAX | Ad Review | Auto redirects

Auto redirect ads remove the user from the app without any action from the user. These bad ads automatically redirect the user to the app store, to phishing scams, or to malicious websites. By using Ad Review, you can detect auto redirect events and tackle user complaints about them.

Auto redirects report

When an auto redirecting ad starts appearing in your apps, you will probably receive user complaints. These complaints rarely contain enough information for you to act on, and the issues they describe are impossible to recreate.

The Auto Redirects Report (MAX > Ad Review > Analyze > Auto Redirects Report) helps you identify the problematic creative. To find a specific creative, apply filters such as date, country, app, and redirect target, then select a creative from the resulting list in the Creative column. Click the eye icon next to the selected creative name to preview the ad and view its Redirect Rate—the percentage of impressions for which AppLovin detected an auto redirect from that creative.
