Hello, i noticed recently a lot of free aps have been using updates to only put in ads. i have fell suspect to some of these and was wondering if anyone has the older versions of some of these apps. a couple that i am looking for is, atleast the ones i have noticed already that did not have ads
-Post it desk
-Alarm Clock Plus
Well the devs have to make money and free isnt free. They depend on ads to drive revenue.
If you are rooted, try Adfree Android. Mortymouse does have a great point though.

Hello, this is a question that's been bugging me for a long time so,
How does developers that offer totally free apps with no ads (no paid versions) earn money from it, there are many examples such as opera mini, go launcher etc?
well most of the times they offer other paid services, go launcher sells themes and other ad-ons opera I think they have a app store or something like that. sometimes having a free app is just a way to make publicity to yourself and sell other services.
Hi Guys
What's the best current way to monetise apps (apps not games) with ads?
My apps are the sort of apps that are good to have so should get a lot of downloads but not the sort of apps you use every day.
That's why I'm a bit stuck on what app network would be best.
Any advise?

If it something used for long periods of time, say a game, ads are worthwhile, otherwise in app purchases for extra features.

Thanks for the reply
Is there anything out there that pays per install (without charging for the app...lol)?
In-App purchases
Is there a way of finding out what ad network apps I have installed are using?
The reason I asked is because I installed an app yesterday that has an ad screen as soon as the app starts with a message saying "slide to continue".
Usually I would think this sort of ad would put people off or be too intrusive, but it really isn't.
What's good about it is that you would at least get an ad per install.
I just need to somehow find out what ad network the developer is using....lol
Anyone
I would advise you to use ad mediation platforms. There are a lot of different monetization platforms, for example Heyzap, Appodeal, Startapp, Chartboost, Applovin. You can get access to several ad networks there using one SDK, this way the app gets maximal revenue from ads. I would recommend you Appodeal, because they have good fillrate and support all major ad networks and have flexible payouts.

I would highly recommend to use adtoapp.com - app monetization service. You can easily increase revenue from your app in 2 times. Highest eCPM and 100% Fill Rate. One SDK collects global networks in one, so it helps to optimize the revenue.

I am hoping to get some help in figuring out what the best alternatives are to Droidwall. I have used that app for years on various phones but I now am in a situation where I cannot root my new handset mostly due to the fact I don't want to void the warranty.
I am on an MVNO and I want to restrict all data with the exception of a few programs (MMS, Opera Mini, Uber, and K9 mail) when the phone is not on Wifi and I am thus paying for data. I don't mind having to toggle it on or off when i switch to wifi. I know there are a few firewall apps that can work but the discussions i found on them are from years back. I don't care if the firewall is a paid app but I do not want one that runs ads or phones home to the developer.
And my phone is running 6.0.1 Marshmallow
Thanks

I do recommend to buy the pro features to support this great dev and he added ads a few months ago.
Free and open source app.

So the developer added in-app ads to Netgaurd to support the program's costs because its free? That seems to defeat the purpose of what i want because i do not want any apps other than the ones i noted drawing down data. Does the Pro Version take away in-app ads, there is no mention of that being a feature in the developer notes.
If that isn't an option then it would be a deal breaker.
I am looking for something as close to droidwall as possible. That is unobtrusive and shuts down compete data transfers on all programs other than the ones I allow.
I'm using AFWall+ and I didn't install NetGuard for a while.
Feel free to ask in the XDA thread and I guess ads are removed with the pro license key.

I recommend you NetPatch Firewall created by me.
It was just released, maybe not very stable.
Feel free to contact me if you have problems.
Download it in Google play store.
I think Android has a Big Problem - There is little Real FOSS on Android. It's partly Google's fault. It's partly the Linux communities fault. It's partly the Developers fault. Yeah guys i'm talking about You. Or perhaps I'm just really bad at searching but no, I won't accept that. I've seen whats on the Google Play Store.
Sure there is F-Droid which is Awesome but it's not enough. I get that people want to make money. If you have a good app you want to charge for that's fine but Don't expect me to use a Keyboard App for example that wants to access my SD Card and have permission to delete files or view my contact list. Whats wrong with you developers? Don't you even care that most of your apps use unscrupulous practices?
I go about looking for a simple app to increase the size of the icons so my tired eyes can actually read the text below the icon. (Marshmallow 6.0.1) F-Droid doesn't seem to have one. Google Play has lots of ways to do this but they all have ads. O.k. I think, perhaps I can live with an ad or two but then I look at the Permissions and balk! Why does an icon app need to view my network connections or have full network access or change my system settings when all I need it to do is make a bigger icon - It doesn't. ( I won't even go into the Flashlight spying on you issue, Goggle it)
I consider these apps spyware that should NOT be offered on Google Play. That's 99 % of all apps on Google Play. No telling what these apps may be doing in the background and here is the problem. Why this practice seems to be accepted in our society is way beyond me. Or I can admit the truth that we live in a corrupt society where people no longer care.
My 89 year old Mom has had the same IPhone for the past 7 years. It has a tiny screen, poor resolution. She uses it for a phone - that's all. She wont use the internet or any apps on it at all - yet she calls me to look stuff up for her all the time. I'd like to switch her to a much cheaper and more modern Android phone that she can actually use but I Can't and Won't because she don't need the nightmares of ads every 5 minutes and apps that want to access things they have no business accessing.
Android doesn't need virus's, the apps have become the virus. It's sad this has become the norm. Perhaps things will change but I doubt it. Why doesn't Google Play offer a Foss category? Where are all the real Foss apps, does anyone know cus I'm just not seeing them and I think that's sad. It screams volumes that reflect badly on this community. Thank you for reading my rant.

Google = CIA
F-droid = can replace most embedded spyware apps. Rooting your device and going nuts with a good root uninstaller are the first steps. Get rid of all Google crap. Installing AdAway is next. Replacement of nearly all bundled spyware is possible.
You will never achieve perfection while using the most popular spyware OS on the planet. But you will not get perfection on Windows or iOS or blackberry or Symbian either. Though it's much worse now.
Hi there people,
In the past people just needed a rooted device and an app like adaway, well things evolved and we're here having annoying ads from any app or website, any proper method to eliminate this?
I know yandex and ad guard works great for just websites, but I'm not very happy with yandex browser overall
P.S. Adaway and adding tons of extra hosts doesn't work, in the past adaway was the best solution(when android was around 2.3 version)
EDIT: Some of the hosts(I did add plenty) I've added in adaway seems to stop a few ads but not all, if someone knows a better way feel free to discuss it here
Try adguard.

Try Via, the browser is freaking great and totally free. And since it's not base on chromium a lot of ads/pop-ups will not work. I use it with ad away and so far so good.

Well for browser I prefer opera especially for FB messages as others would ask to install messenger, now about an overal blocker I'd be more interested. In the past(Android v2.3) an adaway app would do the trick on a rooted phone, now? it's not enough, which worries me. I don't want d$m^ ads using my data and I don't want to be annoyed
Who thought it was a good idea to put ads in apps, websites etc ...lets drink his blood
adguard is good for ads blocking (and cheap, 9$ for lifetime licence )

adaway does better job but still, some do slip away. Whoever thought it would be a great idea to put ads in phones was a big *******, it's your phone unless they pay you, you don't need these cr**
I use brave browser... No root needed. I was using Samsung internet with the adblock plugin. Also a good choice.
