I know you need ads but Android Central doesn't feel the need to constantly bombard it's users with ads while using its app but you do. A big ugly box at the bottom that keeps using my data connection to stream them constantly. I'll pass!!
 
We're hoping to offer an ad-free premium version, but due to some particular constraints, have been debating the prospects between in-app subscriptions and a separate paid app. We will get one of those figured out.

Regarding Android Central: we feel our app is superior and we've invested a ton of time and money getting it to where it is. For example, try going back further than a week on their app or try saving an article for future reference... can't do it.

The vast majority of users don't mind the ads, but we'll reconsider making an ad-free version a priority. And the "streaming content" of the ads you mention is a drop in the bucket compared to everything going on in our app or on your phone- check your data usage and see how Phandroid compares.

Thanks for your feedback!

If you do come out with a ad-free premium version of this and your forum app I will certainly buy them! :)
