Hi. Im new here and tried to search for this topic unsuscesfully.

I have the free account. I chose the option of adding free days in top of the week that comes from start. I watch 3 ads and I added 3 days. However still having 360 days free I still see ads everytime I edit a macro. Why is that happening?

I read that free account let you keep up to 5 macros with ads. Why if I chose to see ads continously to extend the free account I still see ads?

Thanks
Victor

The feature to see ads to add days was added because most free users just created macros and didn't open the app (effectively generating no revenue). Because pro is a one time payment, in the long run it just wouldn't be enough for the developer to be able to work full time on the app (which he can do now).

ok, so the active days are needed for the free account to keep running macros? after the free 7 days trial, if i wouldnt add extra days, the app would stop working?

Exactly.
If you add 2 years though and not open the app you won't have to worry about it... for 2 years.

There are two types of adverts, standard interstitial which have always appeared after editing a macro for free users. There are now also reward adverts that can be watched to unlock 3 days of free use for each viewing.

I avoided this for many years, but as @Endercraft said I was in a situation where 99% of users would just install the app and a few macros and then never open the app again and watch any adverts. So unlike games and many other apps which can generate revenue from free users while they are interacting with the app, my revenue from free users was pitiful despite having a very large number of them generating massive support overhead and large loads on my backend/server.
