I want to add my experience from the developer's point of view. I have an Android app with about 1000 installations (and 100 active users). This app has ads as well as an option to disable them for a $2 donation.
Nobody ever activated this option. So most probably I won't be able to get any revenue from the app without ads. 2016-05-30 23:22 GMT+03:00 Martin Kolman <martin.kol...@gmail.com>: > Mon, 30 May 2016 19:32:54 +0000 Alexey Andreyev: > > > Hello, Zoltán! :) > Feel free to criticize me, but... ads in our jolla?
