Hey there @Beeperkeeb, 

Welcome to the Community and thanks for reaching out about this. 

No worries, you can remove the banner you mention in the desktop app heading over to Settings > Display and toggling off the Show announcements about new releases option. 

If you have any questions, just let us know 🙂

I don’t have the desktop app, only iPhone and access through web.

Hi again @Beeperkeeb, 

Thanks for the clarification. 

Would you mind sending us a screenshot of what you're seeing on your end so we can take a closer look?

We'll be on the lookout for your reply.

"Show announcements about new releases" should be disabled by default for premium users. Also the option in settings should clarify that these announcements are ads.

P.S. Captcha on this page is awful.
