  • Any chance for sound in the HTML activity after the update drops? I just posted my dramatic story in the other topic, lol. Long story short, spent a lot of time on a game to find out it's mute. Uploading sound effects problematic, makes sense probab…
  • @keithco What do you mean frame them with "Website" activity? Honestly speaking I missed going back to this topic and that was a maaajor mistake. I just finished a game I was working on using one of the HTML engines. I was extremely excite…
  • I wish Google was more willing to communicate with the developers. I am very mindful of copyrights, but still freaking out a little whenever I check my developer account e-mail in fear that they didn't like something or found something that I missed…
  • Is there anything that we should know about it in advance? As in, should I build my apps with what we have now, or are there some groundbreaking features coming and I should keep my ideas for the new version (assuming it's coming very soon)?
  • @tholyoak I think some people make custom games in Andromo. Also, it would be cool to hide some activities, or some tasks in activities as paid content that requires a video watch (to enable it for a certain time) or in app purchase to unlock perman…
  • @hendrixs oh, I didn't know it's Andromo's service! That puts things in perspective and if indeed it affects the business model, I don't mind then. That said, personally I don't care about push notifications enough. It's a "nice-to-have" t…
  • +1. I don't use push notifications due to costs of airbop.
  • I was actually wondering is it possible to do Admob in-house ads for someone else's app? That way you could cross-promote with someone.

  • Wow, thanks a lot for your input, @hendrixs ;;. That's very helpful. See, in my case, my average user retention is 1:5. I was removing apps that were not popular and that's what I ended up with. That's why I was having a dilemma. Between that and i…
  • Really looking forward to it! I assume if I were to made a simple game in custom activity I can't code in rewarded ads?
  • Do you guys actually get a lot of downloads from other stores? For me, Amazon is a thing for 1 random app that is more popular there than on GP, otherwise not much happening there, I get maybe 5-10% of Google Play numbers from all other stores combi…
  • @tholyoak ;;, but do you not, really? You don't use analytics, ads, apis? They all make your app actually collect information AND share it with third parties, even if you don't save or store any yourself. On top of that, your apps probably ask for p…
  • Hey, why not use Google Drive to host the privacy policy? In fact, Google even advises that: https://developers.google.com/actions/distribute/privacy-policy-guide#where_to_host_your_privacy_policy
  • Thanks, @tholyoak , I am actually curious if Andromo really fills up with a replacement for an ad that doesn't end up showing up. Could anyone from Andromo confirm that?
  • @hendrixs Yeah I think either the seasonal low or I have been affected by their "Quality score" in a weird way. I've been consistently getting between 0.1$ and 0.2$ per click for the past month or so, with lower priced countries sometimes …
  • @tholyoak Yeah, exactly. I was always wondering how do big companies do it. Imagine you have an ad supported game and an employee wants to play it. He technically works on the game. If he clicks, your company is in trouble?
  • Thank, @hendrixs. Frankly, after reading up making an app became kind of like walking on a mine field :D Risking copyright violations on one hand and Google account on the other, it does not seem worth it for an app that produces cents per day. I wa…
  • Also, here are some horror stories to curb potential Wallpaper app ideas, another no-no: http://www.contentfac.com/copyright-infringement-penalties-are-scary/ https://gigaom.com/2012/09/19/copyright-trolls-2-0-image-sites-embrace-righthaven-tactics/…
  • @datamixer ;;;;;, Sleep Radio was also one of the radios I was in contact with when I was playing with the concept of using Shoutcast radios, he mentioned legal action if I use their streams. I believe he also plays music he has rights to. I honored…
  • I would actually like to add to the question. I understand Andromo does not mediate, as in does not display best value ads if you have multiple providers set up on one app (although mediated campaigns seem to work fine for some reason) but does Adro…
  • What kind of activities on the app are in it? Which ads does it use (Admob banners or something else)? Were you running your own campaign in that app? I know Google doesn't like campaigns such as "click here to remove ads" advertising a p…
  • I do. I reply quickly when there is a negative one. I reply once a week or so to positive ones. Personally, if I start getting more coming in I will probably only reply to negative ones (as sometimes it influences people to change their rating) and…
  • I would just reply politely that you're immediately taking down the violating app (or better,that you already did), apologize for using it in the first place etc. etc and you meant no harm to his interests and assure him you will cease any usage of …
  • Also, if Google takes down an app for copyright violation, they are actually protecting you. If someone asks you nicely, they are being the good guys giving you a very fair way out. While most copyright holders would send you a cease & desist, t…
  • I was in a similar position, posted here, got no answer, that led me to study the copyright law basics and ended up with me removing my Shoutcast radio apps from the Play Store and rely on my own content now, for peace of mind and the fact it does n…
  • I noticed a few drops that I found explanations for. One was after Google made some changes to Google Play, when users searching for apps, instead of getting a list of apps are now getting the strange categories for similar searches, where less po…
  • It would be super cool if Andromo also had a built in web emulator running the apks after building them, without having to download and install on the test device after each small change.
