A Developer of Aggravation

My trusty old iPhone 4 has been collecting dust for a while & consequently has an older version of this app which works fine.

I downloaded the newest version of this app to use on my iPhone 6. Not only does this version have a constant banner ad, but it also has the loud pop-up video ads. It is difficult to state the frequency of the video ads, sometimes it runs when a particular button is pressed, sometimes it doesnt. It is often enough to make me NOT want to use the app.

I have no problem with a Dev using ads (or in app purchase) to make money. I do not believe it is reasonable to be assaulted with both types of ads at the same time. .

In addition I think that Dev should list the fact that pop-up or banner ads have been added to version updates in the description area the update. There are descriptions about anything but the addition of these ads. When a Dev lists "performance improvements" and "bug fixes", I dont expect video ads/banner ads in lieu of or in addition to the "fix".

I would consider paying for the removal of the ads, however even the iaps are unclear. The "in app purchase" lists the following:

- InApp Sale Editor $.99
- Remove Advertisement $.99

I am uncertain if this new version has hobbled another function that the older version had or what. The decision to delete BOTH apps came when I hit the "info" button and was presented with a video ad. Devs -- here is a clue: If your customer takes the initiative to find out more Information about you or your app, dont present them with a video ad instead.

If you think its reasonable that the older version of the app works better than the new version - by all means download this app. Just know that you are supporting a Dev who thinks thats good policy. I dont.

One star rating because the level of frustration & frequency of video ads caused this app to be unusable for me.
