iAd banners are pretty good on iOS.

For interstitials I’ve been using adBuddiz lately, they look slick and are easy to implement but as I’ve sold my portfolio I don’t have any financial data to go on.

Have used inneractive banners with some success on Android but they have become really bad payers lately.

thanks for your advice. what do you think about admob ?

I’ve only just tried it the last few days…couldn’t get it to work on iOS, fairly easy on Android.

I don’t like how sometimes the ads fill the width of the screen and sometimes they don’t (as opposed to the nice neat ads you get with iAds), and as for whether the financials stack up I don’t have any data to go on yet.

and for the second questoin what do you think about ?

can i propose an free app for android and request a prize for applestore ?

The question makes no sense to me I’m afraid. What do you mean by “prize”??

#8

to be honest i think it’s very hard to make decent money with ads especially on android considering people have become “ad blind” for awhile except of course if your app is popular. I think better to try to make money through in app purchase or create 2 apps (one free version and one paid version with more functionality, just look at TuneIn Radio and Nova Launcher for reference)
