The type of comment above also comes from someone who uses an "ad detector" app. A user who has not even seen push ads will nonetheless think your app has them if some other app says so. Got these recently. "Ads? Why does this show up with airpush detector scan?" "Unwanted Ads and Spam Sorry. Good App but discovered it was pushing unwanted Ads and Spam to my phone." I also got a rash of messages directly from customers. Them: How come your app comes up in Airpush Detector? Me: Because Airpush Detector is wrong. While the latest App Critic App has admitted their mistake, I can expect dozens more to crop up one by one. I've seen open source code for ad detectors, and its only ten lines of code. Accuracy doesn't matter when you want to feed the users' paranoia. Nathan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
