I wanted to test my ad-block on iPhone is working fine so I wanted to download the app but App Store says I need to have iOS 4.2.6 :confused:
 
Thanks Dejo...

I may download this app as I've still not encountered an iAd, and it's on the bucket list. ;)

I can assure you all I'm not an idiot or moron.

:p
 
they should allow users to like or dislike iAds to help cater the iAds that are sent to the user :cool:

Read the description: "...lets you tag your favorites to a Loved section that’s all your own."

You can't "dislike" them and it doesn't say what they're doing with the "loved" section other than saving it for your personal viewing pleasure, but I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually catered to your preferences using something like this.

MOR- oh nevermind. :p actually I downloaded it long ago! haha. Just for kicks. It's pretty well made. And I remember when iAds first came out I was actually wanting something like this because I actually did want to see all the different ones. They are moderately entertaining and if the product interests you it can be informative.

That being said I'll probably delete it like tomorrow...
 
This is possibly the dumbest thing Apple has ever done.

I can't WAIT to go browsing though this list of stupid banner ads! I wonder if I can collect them all???!!! I LOVE pop up windows in my browser and I've always wanted to be able to view them at anytime, without having to go to annoying websites just to get each one to load. Now I can have a crap ton of banner ads right at my fingertips!!! THANKS APPLE!!!

I hope they release a pro version of this app for the Mac OS!! Maybe they will incorporate a version inside the mail program that allows me to see ads for VIAGRA and STOCK OPPORTUNITIES IN AFRICA in cover flow!!!

If you don't think it's a good idea then it should not exist? If you don't want to download then don't download it. I have no issue with the app, downloaded and I actually liked it. IF I had not liked it I would have deleted and resumed my life no harm fowl.
 
I have to say, this is the dumbest idea I've ever seen come out of Cupertino. Even worse than the Newton.

I feel sorry for the tools who download this.

I'm one if the "tools" that downloaded it. I appreciate you feeling sorry for me but I don't need it if I'm downloading apps from an iOS device. I need it if I'm in Japan or anyone of the people affected by tragedy ruining there life. Please feel sorry for them and maybe donate $5 to the relief efforts.
 
If i DL this an repeatedly click the ads it might increase the value of Apple stock :) in a small way...
 
This is an excellent app. I have been wondering what sort of ads are going to be showing up in my app and I know for sure now.
 
Wow. The ignorance of the average user of this forum is unbelievable, So much ranting about an app that nobody has to download if they hate ads so much.

In any case, this is no different than the many many websites, blogs , YouTube accounts etc dedicated exclusively to collect tv, radio, and paper advertising from many countries. There's a lot of people who like to see ads and analyze the creativity and technique behind them.

Agreed. Sadly, I was working on an App nearly IDENTICAL to what Apple just came out with. I am about 80% done but am wondering if it is even worth completing: http://computerharmonyinc.com/ibillboard.html
 
I'm going to start a TV channel that only shows commercials.

They already have it and it's actually quite popular. :D

In 2000 there was a web site that was nothing but ads. Ads from all around the globe. Why is it gone? It got to popular and they were having a hard time paying for the bandwidth. Not to mention that some of the companies wanted money or their ad pulled. It was a great site to see all the Super Bowl ads. :/

Arn, can I suggest that this moved to Page 2?

I just saw your page. Wht a shame. It's pretty much the same concept. Btw. Would you need permission of the advertiser to feature their iAd in your gallery? What about storage? Can they be stored for archive and reference purposes?
