Android Chess.com app full page ads?

I have a paid account and frequently continued my games on the Chess.com android app.  Even after I paid for my subscription, I continuned to get small advertisements in the app.

Well, the app just updated and now I get full screen pop up ads every 15 seconds or so.  Is this what the go-forward stratagy for the app?  Will there be an update that removes ads for paid accounts?

If you will not change thie behavior, I might have to find a less intrusive chess playing website.  I don't want to do that, as I really enjoyed this site and the community, but the ads in the newest version of the Chess.com app is unforgivable.  If it was some sort of mistake, I can understand that, but did anyone even try to use the app before they published this update?  

So, please answer these questions:

1) Will you remove the full screen, must click "X" to close ads in your app?

2) Will you remove ads for paid members?

3) What are your plans to monetize the Andrioid app?
