Now I didn't question why you had to have them (your paragraphs 2&3). I made a point that they were intrusive and cheap looking. Are you saying that you had no choice over the size?

Perhaps I should demonstrate what I mean. Every other app I have used chooses the small banner at the bottom. It can be a little annoying at times but hey. That's the price you pay... Or don't haha.

Zappl has a banner ad at the bottom which is over twice the height of most others. As you can see in the screen shot it actually obscures some of the post.

So I stand by what I say. Which is not I don't think you should have ads.

But is, it is big and cheap looking and intrusive
