Hi Community! As some of you may have seen I have been building an application that is called **Accounts Manager**. Its purpose is a personal finances management app. You may find more info about it here: > [@Accounts manager (A personal finances app)](http://community.thunkable.com/t/accounts-manager-a-personal-finances-app/26500): > > The last period I have been developing a new app to handle expenses and income and provide some usefull reporting to the user… Due to limited time I have not progressed the way I intended to … Please [take a look here](https://sites.google.com/view/blackdapps/home/accounts-manager) and let me know what are you thinking about it… Thanks Playstore link [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lgkikas.AccountsManager](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lgkikas.AccountsManager) and here… [BlackdApps - Accounts Manager](https://sites.google.com/view/blackdapps/home/accounts-manager). The screenshots in the second link are a bit older, and several improvements have been made since. The app contains - overview summary screen and input & modify records screens, - detailed and synoptic tables reports, - interactive charts, - theming options, - settings to handle the records in the database & the app behavior in overall, - integrated tutorial for each screen - several other automations that can ease the user in day 2 day operation. Initially I thought to publish it in Play Store with: - a trial period of 3 months and - Advertisements Each component would require a different amount of payment to be removed. (i.e. 5 EUR to continue after trial period and 3 EUR to remove ads) Now I am considering to give it without the trial period and only ads included. However **I do not want the users to be demotivated by frequent ads** so **I am making this thread to gather opinions** from fellow developers and at the same time users of apps. Please consider that this app has several features that could not possibly be shown in the screenshots and that I have been developing it for a long time (almost 8 months!!!) due to the fact that I have a day job that consumes many hours of my day, so development is on late night hours… Unfortunately I do not have enough time now to make a youtube video to show the app in detail… **Below are various options of how often to display ads… choose one you belive is appropriate!!** _Poll ([view on site](https://community.thunkable.com/t/help-defining-frequency-of-ads-in-an-app/46263/1))_ **Thank you in advance !!!** ---

Hey there, I think you should show an app in function of an action and not of a amount of time. (Haven’t tested your app) For example maybe when the user logs in or when he saves his data ? Don’t hesitate to DM me if you need some help or some talk on this, would be happy to help ! Nice day ! ---

@AcrobatEpee this would be a nice workaround however … If I am not mistaken Admob specifically prohibits such an option. That is why I have opted for time intervals… If anyone else is certain about this then please let me know. ---

Just one ad use per app session. You wouldn’t want users to leave your app because of the frequent changes. ---

Do you mean a full page ad or banner ad? Why not just display a full time banner ad, but only on select pages and a full page randomly when they change to a certain screen ---

Since this application has been released without ads as mentioned here: > [@Accounts manager (A personal finances app)](http://community.thunkable.com/t/accounts-manager-a-personal-finances-app/26500/7): > > After significant consideration about the distribution of this app I have come to the conclusion to publish it without ads or fee in order to use it… From now it is available on play store, you can find a relevant link on the first post of this topic. Please read the description on the app in the store and the about section within the app in order to use it effectively. In case you do not understand how to use the app you can use the integrated tutorial available on the sidebar. Please post … I believe that it is time for this topic to be closed or even deleted. **[@moderators](https://community.thunkable.com/groups/moderators) please proceed accordingly…**. I would like to thank all those that have participated in the poll or posted their view… ---
