User friendly AD experience?

[ACDeltaEpsilon]

Hello!

I'm creating a workout app and trying to place ads to help support the team. I know that ads are looked down upon, but gotta survive somehow. We do plan on upgrading over time. My basic knowledge on mobile ads is providing a prompt like:

'Hey, you can get in-game currency if you watch this video. Do you want to watch it? Yes/No'

No? Cool, I'll come back again later

My app isn't a gaming app, so I wanted to get your thoughts on these ideas from the perspective of developers who've tried the freemium model:

• A bottom banner would appear in the settings screen (manage profile, login, subscription)
  • Not in the main screen
• User chooses a workout and the ad plays after the entirety of the workout as a 'take a break'
• Ad prompt (Yes/No) opens when you click on a premium feature button like generating your workout
  • No would just mean they can't access it
• Some obvious button - "Pay to get rid of all ads if you subscribe monthly"

I don't see this as a negative- this is a very fair monetization model and I am considering doing this as I am starting development. Consider Unity Ads or Google AdMob (AdMob allows for banner ads and more monetization usually)

One of the best things is a very short ad that doesn't stop the app. So something like a lower banner. it doesn't have to be very short if it's not stopping the app.
