The Apple App Store isn’t much better. I searched for the Mint Mobile app the other day and the top hit was an ad for something completely unrelated that didn’t even have mint or mobile in its name.

Maybe they don't have enough info on you to show targetted ads. Lucky you

Dunno about that. Ads are ads to me. I hate em all. Funny thing is is that the app stores for Google and Apple are pretty much the only places I’ve seen them in quite awhile.
