[QUOTE="EndlessMac, post: 1065801, member: 140470"] I don't believe there is anything that blocks ads from any app but that is the same with all computer software you buy no matter if it's Mac, Windows, or iPhone. Most of the time users will be very angry if there are ads in their [I][B]paid[/B][/I] software so most software companies choose not to add advertising. You are paying them yourself so unless they are super greedy there is no reason for them to use ads. Usually the only ads on computer software are in the free ones. Apple is not forcing any iPhone app creator to add advertising. It's there if they want to use it so if they choose to **** off the customers with ads on a paid app then they can do so at the risk of most likely losing those customers. Even the free apps can still choose to not use iAds if I understand it correctly. I personally will never pay for software that has advertising. If it's free I don't mind ads as long as the ads are not obnoxious and get in the way all the time like pop-ups. I don't know why people are so defensive about this. It's like Google ads and other website ads. Some websites choose to use them while others don't. It's not like you will get blasted with ads all over your iPhone. As mentioned above the simple solution if you don't want ads is to not use apps that contain ads. This usually means you have to get paid apps to be ad free. [/QUOTE]
