One day Apple will come up with a killer idea against jail-braking... you will see. :mad::mad::mad:

One day the whining developers wll come up with a killer idea against anti piracy instead of waiting for Apple....we might see.

I still see no reference to using Kari to protect your work...
 
the ads dont really distract from the gameplay so whats the big deal?

I think they do. I played the game a LOT without ads, and now they bug the hell out of me.

My problem is not the ads - my problem is not following a clear path many other developers follow - a LITE/FREE version, clearly marked as such, where the description says it has ads, and a PAID version ad-free. Paper Toss was add-less one day, and an update later with no warning, it had ads. I just think that's wrong.

I like the lite/free concept to try something out, and I agree one should PAY for good software. So, to the Paper Toss developers, rename this app Paper Toss FREE, and release a new one without adds. I'll even pay $2.99 for it. :D

+1. I agree. I bought the World Travel version thinking it would be the old Paper Toss without ads, but it's a completely different game.

Make Paper Toss Lite for free and a paid Paper Toss for whatever.
 
paper toss: world tour is out and its a paid version so I don't expect it to have ads.
 
I'm with everyone, i hate when they add in some ads. I can certainly understand "getting paid" but place ads in between game action during loading screens or whatever. That would be like watching a movie (uninterrupted) and ads keeping popping up during your movie, as opposed to commerical breaks.

The only real issue I have is you want ads put them in from the start. When adding them in later, after an app is popular is like a "bait and switch"
 
I think they make more money off of ads in popular apps than they would selling it for 99 cents a pop.


Is that so? I've always wondered how much is the Paper Toss app developer losing by not selling it for $.99.
 
I'd really love to find out what some of the ad whiners do for money (if anything) and then jailbreak a way around it.

Work at a gas station? Maybe I'll just drive off without paying because I don't like the ad advertising the 99 cent drinks.

Work for a magazine? I'll just steal a copy because I don't like that ad for Nike inside.

Work at a bank? I'll just barge in and rob the place because I got sent a piece of mail advertising savings accounts.

Seriously, some of you are acting like 10-year-olds about these ads. There's no clause anywhere that says these games come without ads from now until eternity. These are mostly 99 cent games you're talking about. It's a MAJOR pain in the butt to develop such stuff, so I don't see the big deal about these ads, which are so unobtrusive that it's not funny. This isn't like a pop-up on a Web site that you have to figure out how to close.

me, I don't do much of anything too technical. I used play with little 8 inch silicon frisbees and see how well a laser would transfer a reticle image to the particular layer associated with the ICH7,8,9,10 chipsets, and the Bangor and Poulsbo chips along with several others. Now I play with the makings of solar panels.
On the side I come here and whine about free apps having ads.
I still can't get the ad blocking to work on my JB 3Gs
 
So let me be the first to bitch.
I download and use a free program, the dev slaps ads in it, and then turns around and wants to charge me for the same program they offeed for free?

I still have the ad free old version so I am happy.... The Airport level is not all that anyway
 
paper toss ad free is now available for 99 cents

Do you think the actual home screen icon says "Ad Free" on it? Geez, how tacky. Haha, what is so hard to understand about this? Why not deface the ad version with "FREE" or "WITH ADS"?

At any rate, it's nice to see the devs being amenable. They seemed like a stand up team, and this reinforces that.
