Google Play will soon begin telling you if an app has any ads

Google is updating their Play Store policies that will require developers to list whether or not their application features any in-app advertisements, which is actually already required for any apps listed in Google’s Designed for Families category. This policy change will affect every app on the Play Store and will begin to be enforced in January, 2016.

Developers will have to list this info by January 11th, and it includes just about anything that anyone would consider an advertisement. In-app ads, ads in a news feed, and banner ads all qualify, and Google checks the SDK to tell whether or not you’re deploying any kind of ad service in your app.

Would any of you refuse to install an app if you knew it contained ads?
