Hi there! :smiley: I hope you all have a great day! :smiley: Lately, I have been thinking. Why do people make earning apps? They will only get your account suspended, and the ad revenue isn’t very much. Also, the only person who will use the app is the developer and maybe some friends. Don’t get me wrong, I love that the developers can put ads in the app they are making. I just don’t see the point in making earning apps. So could anyone please help me understand why people keep making them? :confused: -Philip

[image] Nice_kode4: So could anyone please help me understand why people keep making them? Yep, i also see an increase in users wanting to make earning apps. And if there is something that i really don’t like it is users making earning apps but also users begging for aia-files of an earning app. The only reason that i can think of is that developers think they can make money quickly. That they get there acounts suspended eventually is something that they are not thinking of. I can see a danger for Thunkable and all other builders if big companies like Google are thinking that Thunkable and other builders are just for making earning apps and blocking all apps made with it.

Just complementing what @Peter_Mathijssen says, I can see many new Thunkable users that even don’t know what logic is, don’t know the basics of Thunkable, start their apps and when the first error produced by them appears, they start to send posts like “Please, help me urgently”. For sure there is something wrong with this.

Hi, You are such a very kind, generous person, and maybe come from a developed country as well. I think there are many answers for your question, some of them are: People will never know how much can they get from ads in their app, if they don’t do it. And with many successful stories “reported” by media, they have more reasons to do this. One more thing, where do you come from man? Don’t know if you know about this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_percentage_of_population_living_in_poverty ?( I know with the same user numbers, developers in different country will get the different amount.) Because Thunkable and Appybuilder (I don’t know about Makedroid) provide ad components. Why they do this? Ad in someways is a donation. We know that many developers make free extensions for us to use (Thank you guys!) , but they (not all) also put a link to donate. And not only these extension developers, you can see this every in the internet. I have more to say, but because of my poor English, I will stop here. I come from an undeveloped country, a poor student, I put ad in my app too, why? Because I want to make some money; I cannot donate extension dev or anyone without money. Because people in my country love free app; and a paid app can be hack easily. Finally, I want to know can I make a “success” commercial app. Big

you all guys are right but in india here are all the thunkers are only use thunkable for earning and dont know how the thunkable is usefull i mean if we create great apps we’ve earn but why they do this is just for money

This is definitely a huge problem. To prevent people from abusing Thunkable for earning apps, we are starting to blacklist users and their apps, so we highly encourage everyone to not build an earning app.

Thanks for all the replys :blush: It is nice to see both sides of the argument and I now have a better understanding of why people keep making earning apps :slightly_smiling_face: I too think it is a problem. App inventor and the other contributor’s apps have long been considered “shovelware” but I think that, as more time goes by, we prove the “shovelware” thing wrong… but not earning apps. In my eyes, earning apps are shovelware. -Philip

Same thing I am also trying to say my all subscribers now they are creating great apps like age calculator , FIFA world cup , love calculator and many more
