Paid version without ads?

[zhovner]

Hello. Thank you for your great work. I wan't to use client without advertisement but I can't find any paid option. I would be happy to buy premium ad free version for 3-7$.

[ervine]

Remove the default profile to remove ads;

[zhovner]

Thanks @ervine. But I still think this will be easy way to people who want to donate and support development.

也对，能不能提供无广告的捐赠版？（免费版依然可以移除默认配置以便去除广告

@Mygod @madeye

[madeye]

No plan for this.

[Mygod]

@madeye How about adding an in app purchase option?

[madeye]

@Mygod I think in-app purchase is difficult for an open source app. It seems that there is no proper way to store the key.

[Mygod]

Have a look at how others do it: https://github.com/open-keychain/open-keychain/blob/c3c1568de1ca072f495bffc019499795f1b88332/OpenKeychain/src/main/java/org/sufficientlysecure/keychain/ui/HelpActivity.java#L93

@madeye What do you think? Reopen this issue if you decide to integrate this feature.

[madeye]

I'm still busy with obfuscating feature, not sure if I have time to implement this.

Maybe we mark it long term feature or could you help to integrate?

[Mygod]

Sure. I'm currently working on new UI. Maybe after that.

[madeye]

Great! Thanks!

@madeye @Mygod or you can simply forget about the checksum and public key and treat all response from iab as valid ...

As far as I know, user in some countries(such as China) can't download paid or IAP app in Google Play. You can check the country list in Google Help.

So, I vote for build another apk with different package name, just like PPSSPP Gold. Use Product Flavors to implement this is so simple and easy.

[Mygod]

We aren't using Gradle to build the app. And I think it's not going to limit to Google Play IAP.

[Mygod]

@madeye Maybe it would be more convenient for you to implement this feature since it needs your payment info. Meanwhile I'm going to work on ACL (#1009).

[madeye]

Actually, with native AD in a cardview, users can easily remove ADs by just "removing" it. I'm wondering why we should let users spend money to remove it... It's really ridiculous.

[Mygod]

Perhaps the user wants to use the default configuration but doesn't want to see ads? Or we can just have a donate button.

[wongsyrone]

As long as I know, the default config is down for decades. Why not just replace it with dummy one.

[Mygod]

Just out of curiosity, is the default config supposed to work? @madeye

[madeye]

@wongsyrone Hehe. Actually not.

@Mygod For all the users outside China...

[Mygod]

In that case an IAP might actually be useful.

[madeye]

OK. I will try to do this. But it's still not on my top N.

[Mygod]

I wonder if N is sufficiently large though. :stuck_out_tongue:

1 remove default config 2 remove ad 3 inapp purpose(donate) then get your config ?

还是打中文吧： 大部分人是不希望看到广告的 宁可买收费的。 这个app是靠 使用内置配置时广告的策略获取收益。而不少用户基本都是买收费的。

不排除有些人希望用免费广告版的，但我不得不说默认的服务基本不能用。 因此我认为

1. 移除内置配置和广告，起到软件无广告的作用（play商店不会显示 包含广告） 用户觉得更加“绿色”
2. 启用app内购或捐赠，然后提供配置 为开发者提供创收

[GeeekerAndy]

In my opinion, "removing" is more elegant than other ways. Actually, it is the simplest way to save your time with just two clicks.

[bit-rocket]

@GeekerAndyLove I agree with you.

[crazyyi]

@Yifei0727 默认的服务基本不能用? I don't thinks so. I have no problem using it.

[Mygod]

I think it's better not to implement this for now. As an alternative solution, keep the default configuration and click ads to help @madeye earn ad revenue.
