My app was refused. Should we first upload in Gplay and then give them the link or we give a Google Drive Link or sth?
For more information, see their help topic:
https://support.mmedia.com/entries/21846638-Add-Manage-App
I will add an existing Gplay app now.
Dear Developer,
Your Application, xxx, has been denied for the following reason(s):
on their site they say
Unable to Validate Content – The application or site
cannot be validated. This would include applications with a significant
number of bugs or that crash frequently, or sites that are not available
or do not render properly.
The app has over 40k downloads on g play, i completed all the required fields as requested. Has anyone else had the same problem or success
However, and since I know some of you proceeded with immediate updates of older apps, do you have any signs over their performance?
I know it is too early, but well... I am curious
For me, the app which gave me some impressions and clicks is too fresh to show some signs. Till now it is only at:
754 views - 9 clicks - 0.06 USD
Too early, but those of you with large user base should see some initial clicks and figures.
2/ I do not like, that you cannot close the Interstitial Video Ads (at least in test mode)
3/ I am also waiting since Friday for the approval.What are their business hours Mo-Fr 9-5??? LOL!
I am not too impressed so far and I do not like this time consuming approval process.
When approved, I will give them a try for one of my apps, that has an avg. EPC on admob.
If they do not perform way better, it is simply not worth going through all that.
As far as the interstitial video ads, there is a "Continue" button that appears after a few seconds that allows you to close it.
From my testing, there is a bit of a delay for the first ad (banners), however it gets better on subsequent requests. Fill rates also get better as time goes on too.
Thanks, I didnt see it when trying ... and if I don't see it, my guess is, that my users will not see it either!
Lets rephrase, I dont like that the Interstitial blocks the return button. Which i think, 99% of the users would try to close it with.
Oh and I am still waiting for the approval ... 5 Days and counting.
I guess they mean the 24-48 business hours literally (5 Business Days with 8 business hours each = 40 hours).
The ability to close them (interstitials and video interstitials) is on a timer. So you can't close it for a few seconds until the close buttons appears. You can see examples of those in the screenshots in the beginning of the thread. We don't have any control over that type of functionality.
As far as the wait times, it's possible they got hammered with approval requests from Andromo users in a short period of time which could account for what you're experiencing.
@tamworthheat
When you submitted your app for approval, did you link to an app in Google Play, or did you just provide screenshots? If it's a link, you'll want to double check that it's a complete URL.
I don't know if this bug affected you, but there was a crash bug that affected some users as described in the release notes for Andromo 3.3.1:
http://blog.andromo.com/2014/andromo-app-maker-for-android-v3-3-1-released/
If that's the case, you should update your app, and submit again just in case that's the cause.
Just to clarify, you're not required to provide a link to Google Play (for example, your app hasn't been released yet), but if you don't, you must provide screenshots of your app. So it's a case of at least one or the other.
Reason: Unable to Validate Content
And yes: I have added my GP link and the app was build with the latest andromo version.
The very same app/version has been accepted by Samsung, even with their very thorough testing.
So there is absolutely no reason, why they would decline this app.
I took the time to wrote to mmedia and asked what their problem is.
Now I probably need to wait another week to get a reply.
Good grief, I am spending more time in getting a simple ad approved, than creating the app itself :-)
From what I have seen so far: Not worth the hassle, way to complicated and time consuming.
36 clicks, $0.13
36 clicks probably means around 1000 impressions (right?).
That sounds like a tapgage-dejavu to me
I don't know exactly what their approval process consists of, ie. whether they actually install the app, or just look at the app's screenshots. The only thing you can do is shoot them an email and ask, as you've done.
As far as revenue goes, I'm sure it will differ quite a bit between apps (app content), what campaigns are running etc. I also believe that the ads being served get better over time. In other words, you'll likely get the most common, least paying ones to start off.
@hendrixs
In my opinion AdMob is a great advertising network, and yes, it will definitely be tough to beat. Millennial Media is a big player as well and widely used. There's certainly a lot of others out there with claims, but what they say, and what actually happens are often very different.
