      That’s bog standard admob. If you have ANY app with ads on your phone you have already agreed to all of that so it’s moot.

      I just paid for it the moment I bought it because I want to support Ruben. Fantastic dev overall, anytime I had an issue with the reddit version he personal would respond and either patch it himself or already have an answer

      The paid version doesn’t have admob library

        I’m glad you enjoy it. I’m not going to gatekeep what apps people use.

      Ppl said the same about Sync but I’m still using it after using my play credit to pay for the ad free version 🤷🏻‍♂️

      Yeah I’m more than willing to pay for apps, but I hate spyware. I wish instead of ads there was just like a $5-10 price, or a subscription of like $2 a month or something along those lines. (Idk what the actual cost to develop the app is, I’m just spitballing prices)

      It’s literally less than most cups of coffee to correct that issue forever. Ad supported software is standard practice for the last 20+ years, having the option to cheaply opt out of it completely is actually uncommon and shouldn’t be completely glossed over like it doesn’t matter.
