Cannot remove ads on Amazon App Store version #48

Open William-o opened 6 years ago

William-o commented 6 years ago

On a Kindle fire device, the only way to download the app is from the Amazon Underground / Amazon App Store. I am guessing that some arrangement with Amazon requires that there be no in-app purchases to get the Amazon Underground's "actually free" ribbon on the icon. But the app still has ads and I would like to remove them... Is there any way to list an alternate version on the app store that could have the ads removed? Or could I perhaps pay you via Patreon or something similar to get access to the APK directly?

Unfortunately that's how Amazon Underground works - it is "Actually free" but Amazon inserts ads into the app after I upload it, so there's no way around it. I'm not sure whether it is possible to pay Amazon to remove those ads. Google Play version does not have those ads, it has two unlockable features instead. I guess this is also supported by Amazon regular store, but unfortunately I had no time to test/integrate Amazon in-app purchases API into PhotoCloud yet.

I am very sorry for this behavior. Is it possible for you to install PhotoCloud from Google Play store? That version has no commercials.

I'm hoping to get another kindle soon to test this on... but unfortunately I bricked mine after it updated post-rooting. :-( Thanks for the replies! I'll come back and update this when I get the chance to try again.
