Topic: Ads in Chumby app
Hi guys,
I really do appreciate the effort of bringing the Chumby experience to Android phones, but you should really make up your mind about how you want to make money. Charging $4.99 for the app and still showing those annoying "extra apps" in the channels is not very nice. It's understandable in the case of a hardware device ("pay for the hardware, software is ad-supported") but you're going to get a lot of people angry when they realize they have ads in an app they paid for. The app should really be free so that you get the widest possible coverage (and charge your advertisers more for the increased number of eyes that see their ads).
I have a Chumby One and a Chumby Hacker Board (both of which I love), but i've uninstalled and refunded the app on my Galaxy Tab because of this.
