Hi,
Just as the subject says really…
“Inneractive adverts work on wifi but not on mobile internet network”
I always get an advert appearing in my app over wifi but I haven’t seen one appear once over mobile internet…
Im in the UK any ideas?
Thanks
Aidan
… ps my app is “googly face” and its on android market only… for now. [import]uid: 102413 topic_id: 22779 reply_id: 322779[/import]
My apps does not show the Inneractive Ads also when under Mobile Network (does not matter whether is 3G network or not - it just does not work at all) and even sometimes it does “crash” the app as it is looks liks to be looking forward the wi-fi connection and as not found it crashes the app. :\
PS: I have apps on the AppStore and Android Market and both have the same problem btw.
PS2: And with this situation Ill see in my next update if I can check the network connection of the users device (if wi-fi or not) and after that if it`s wi-fi, nice, run the ads.show() BUT if not, show nothing or one house-Ads as it by my point of view right now will stop crashing the apps when not getting any wi-fi network available.
Sad and true.

Honestly, I know that “my voice” here is “nothing” (as Ive said already many times ago under other forums topics - even the Inneractive`s Official one).
Ive said about: the quality of the Ads (that is not nice all the time - many looks like a webSCAN ad), the CPC, the CPM that are very LOW and so the CTR turns to be a garbage. As Ive said also, any click on my Ads has a value = 0.01c and MANY times the value of the click is JUST ZERO (0)! (the UNIQUE thing BIG on Inneractive is their FillRate BUT for me it would not be a tool of marketing as they use and tell all the time for us, it would be only ONE of the things offered by them that would work as it is or even better and also do not forget to RAISE UP the CPC, CPM, CTR, even more the FR and so on. And yes, I know, nothing is perfect, BUT it would certainly be BETTER IMHO.
So after all, I cannot think of using their services anymore in the future as it does not return to me anything so valuable and it`s even worse for my users. :\
We would have more than 2 official Ads company working together Corona, as it would force them to work better for their developers or so raise the white flag and says: bye bye.
Sorry for any inconvenience, but the above is my own personal opinion and so I wont speak “by someone else”.

I’ll add my $0.02 here.
My game has only been on the app store for a few days. I use inneractive for ads, and didn’t seem to have any problems with them while I was testing my app. Since my app went live, I have noticed a few crashes when it tries to load ads. Again, that didn’t seem to be an issue during testing. But the ads do load over 3G on an iPad2, though.
I agree with @RSCDev that the ads are often low quality. I mean, that is sort of expected - they are banner ads after all - but people expect a better experience on an iPad. So I’ve begun to look into other ad solutions on this basis alone. My fill rate over the past 3 days has been 77% - not great, but not terrible. Click through rate has been 1% on 5000 ads served. That is a tiny number compared to what an app with 400k downloads would have, so my main complaint right now is about ads crashing the game and their poor visual appeal.
I think Corona needs to clean up their ads API and improve performance before it can become useful to the average user. I’m also really disappointed in the format options provided. I don’t need a full screen ad that consists of a tiny banner or embedded webpage. I need quality, screen-filling ads that at best people will want to click on, and at worst won’t mind looking at for a few seconds.
@vopmms are you using Mobclix with Corona? How is that working out? [import]uid: 120 topic_id: 22779 reply_id: 91006[/import]
@bryan - Can’t use mobclix in Corona. I use mobclix for Are You quick Enough on the App Store which was done in Torque. Fill rate is 100% because it uses iAds, Admob, and Millenial Ads. CTR and ecpm are all pretty good.
Now that Are You Quick Enough is almost done for Nook and Fire (using Corona), I’m looking for a good ads solution. [import]uid: 1884 topic_id: 22779 reply_id: 91007[/import]
Thanks for letting us know this problem.
This is unacceptable. I’m looking to implement an Ads solution in my game right now and I won’t be wasting my time with Inneractive.
@Corona - I hope you can give us another ad solution. I really like mobclix (combines multiple ads services) or at the very least Admob.
[import]uid: 1884 topic_id: 22779 reply_id: 90993[/import]
@RSCdev - Wow. Thanks for your numbers.
Speaking from experience, having a good Ads service is very important. One of my apps on the iTunes Store had over 400k downloads and the revenue went from not great to 4x that amount when I switched to a different Ads service (mobclix).
It’s very important that Corona users have access to the best Ads services out there. I feel this is the responsibility of Corona if they are not going to let us implement any ad service we want.

I really appreciate your thoughts and shared info also.
For sure it would be good for Ansca Mobile getting any Ads provider that works NICE for US developers. As the major part of us here are just Indies dev, so having a simple better opportunity to get our apps out there monetizing, even “a bit” from the Ads network would help a lot pass by the one year Corona membership getting at least its own membership price back for renewal purposes. It would encorage much more new Indie devs and also us that are here already to keep going WITH ANSCA.
Just my thoughts too.
EDIT: Thanks @bryan for sharing your thoughts too. I can mention also that the “GRAPHICAL” side of the Ads banners of Inneractive are horrible too! Ones seems to be stratched others opposite, etc…really not nice.
Cheers,

Hi,
Ok so some bad reports so far. But hats off to the support though. I emailed orl at Inneractive and within a few hours I got one back to say she had seen this post and had passed my app and the problem on to the tech team. Helping out the little guy. Hope they get it working! I want to start marketing my app!
Aidan [import]uid: 102413 topic_id: 22779 reply_id: 91098[/import]
…yeah starting to get a bit upset now. Other than the adverts my apps ready and has been on the market for a couple of weeks now. Really want to start marketing it!

Just saw this thread after I posted a new thread on the same subject… ignore my duplicate thread.
I am having the same problem. Not good. [import]uid: 114363 topic_id: 22779 reply_id: 92052[/import]
Does anyone have a status? Still not seeing ads over the mobile network. It’s been almost a week. [import]uid: 114363 topic_id: 22779 reply_id: 92242[/import]
and I think we will never see… :\ [import]uid: 89165 topic_id: 22779 reply_id: 92271[/import]
yupp… still dead… no adverts via 3g. not good. [import]uid: 102413 topic_id: 22779 reply_id: 92841[/import]
I think it is the lack of any response that is the most disturbing. I will have to investigate other ad services. It’s been 10 days now.
Ansca, please support additional services as well.
thanks! [import]uid: 114363 topic_id: 22779 reply_id: 92857[/import]
For me it`s 2 months already. :\ [import]uid: 89165 topic_id: 22779 reply_id: 92868[/import]
Hmm, I am getting ads served on an iPad2 with 3G. Not sure if it has any bearing or not, but do you guys have “use location” enabled on the inneractive settings panel? [import]uid: 120 topic_id: 22779 reply_id: 92872[/import]
@bryan, YES, I have that selected. Should I “untick” that? :\
Thanks,
Rodrigo. [import]uid: 89165 topic_id: 22779 reply_id: 92875[/import]
@RSCdev I have it checked also, but I’m being served ads over 3G. That question came to mind because I thought that maybe it couldn’t detect the location and thus couldn’t serve any ads. I don’t know though. Besides that, have you tried creating a new ID? [import]uid: 120 topic_id: 22779 reply_id: 92876[/import]
@bryan, thanks for trying.
I have not created new ID. Would that matter? And if so, I would need to change something in my code and also send an update for Apple, right? :\ [import]uid: 89165 topic_id: 22779 reply_id: 92878[/import]
