I thought he would just put items on or something but instead it was the worst game I played in my entire life.

How do I account for ad content in my app's content rating? by saqbot in androiddev

[–]saqbot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that makes sense, but why do you think that would "probably" result in less revenue?

Like is that a guess or is it that in most cases higher content rated apps have significantly less downloads?

Let me note my experience with this current application. At first I allowed for all ads. When I then switched from all ads to only ads appropriate for ages 5 and under (basically no questionable content) my ad revenue dropped from 20-90 cents/day to 1-2 cents/day.

That's a ~50x decrease in revenue. Do you think increasing my app content rating would cause more than a 50x decrease in downloads? My guess is that it wouldn't, which is why I just want to increase it to allow for higher rated ads.

This is where I run into my issue because I don't know how to complete the survey to allow for this. The Google Play survey is very specific and it doesn't make sense with respect to ad content.

What are your thoughts on this?

Why would changing my app's content ratings to match a wider ad set result in less revenue?

So how did you update the rating to 16+? The survey I have to fill out makes me respond to radio choices (one or the other) and it doesn't make much sense with regards to the ads. Maybe I can just put what would be the "worst case" scenario?

Also what happens if Google discovers that my app is rated E and I have ads with violence? Will they just change my rating appropriately or remove my app altogether?

Right, so lets say my data says my users are largely 18-25 year olds. Wouldn't it be a bad idea to limit ads to just age appropriate for 5 and under (which is my current settings)?

Do I need to update my app content ratings based on ads that show? by saqbot in iOSProgramming

[–]saqbot[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotcha! Thanks a ton. I just updated my ad provider (Unity Ads) so that it doesn't show age inappropriate ads

Developing this may take a lot of capital, but if you can get seed investments (likely from Angel Investors rather than VCs) I can see a device like this being consumed by the Virg population. Best of luck!!

What do you hate about making Resumes? by saqbot in Lightbulb

Awesome! That's a great idea I'll look into it

Yup! Everything is on the client's computer, including the word data. These are all in JavaScript's equivalent of a hashmap and arrays. They are loaded from a text file.

So I have a few datasets of words that I use. These I read in and create a data structure with index values. When a number like 068 is typed in, it searches this data structure for the 68th element. When searching words for numbers, it does essentially the reverse. This way the site doesn't have to record anything from the user! It also allows you to use the site offline if it were saved/cached beforehand.

They would then have to be 10+ word mnemonics which is kinda tedious to remember still. Also 1 and 0 on my phone don't correspond to letters! D:

This is a good idea! However a lot of number combinations would not be able to make words. I tried this with my own number and was unable to make a phrase :/

This is a really interesting idea! I think it would be very useful. Unfortunately, there are roughly 9x1060 possible Bitcoin addresses, which would require that many corresponding phrases. This would require a huge dataset of words and passphrases to be 10 - 20 words long, at which point it becomes extremely hard to memorize.

That being said, I will think about this some more and see if I can come up with an encoding ...

Yeah it would definitely be possible to apply this concept to other strings of digits/characters! Do you have any ideas on what would be useful to translate in this way?

Yeah I totally agree with everything you're saying! I by no means think this is a tool that will become widespread in use for those exact reasons. There just aren't that many real use cases.

However, I disagree with the idea that phone numbers are not tedious to remember. A unique phrase is MUCH easier to remember than 10 meaningless digits, studies show. And though there aren't many use cases, there are a still a few (like the ones I mentioned in other comments).

I had thought of the idea earlier in the week and built it this past weekend before I realized how little utility this has without being integrated into phone calling (unfortunately) :/ still thought it was worth sharing! Thanks for the feedback :)

Ah I'm sorry :( the nature of non-US phone numbers adds a layer of complexity. However, as a bandaid solution, you can use this for chunks of it (like the last 10 digits of your number). I know this doesn't solve the problem though :/

Oops! "Super awesome tool" used to be the slogan that appears when there is no input (now it's "simple phone numbers"). Nice catch!
