Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

There is nothing wrong with you using the aforementioned application to view permissible things. Whatever of such advertisements appears, just delete them and do not pay any attention to them. It is not forbidden to use the application just because those advertisements appear.

Allah knows best.
