Just my opinion, but if an app started to show me irrelevant news, I would uninstall it. If I had paid for the app, I would complain to the developer, unless I could switch it off. I would regard that as Spam. But then I use very few apps that show adverts, only if I absolutely need the app and there is no paid version that removes them. And I will uninstall it as soon as I don't need it any more.I think a good solution is to provide a "news" message in your app which occasionally connects to a server of yours and retrieve some news to show to users
I fully understand your point of view but you can also use this method to communicate only very important news (like if your app gets suspended and redirect users to an alternative download site/app store). It is up to you as a developer how to use it. You could use this method only to show a news-message in the event your app gets suspended and don't use it for anything else. It is just a way to be able to reach out to your (loyal) users and make the best of the situation if disaster strikes.Just my opinion, but if an app started to show me irrelevant news
Not always do we know if the app will be banned in advance. An app may be banned due to an icon which looks very similar to another app's icon. Am I supposed to know beforehand among hundred of thousands apps on Google Play if there is an app with a similar icon/logo as the one I am using? And yes, I know about apps that have been suspended for this very reason without a "warning". This is true also in the real world, what regards trademarks/logos but at least a trademark can co-exist with others (registered in a different class) as long as the product and the scope of the product is different from the others. This does not happen in Google Play! Each developer ought to try to adhere to Google Play's regulations but some definitions are ambiguous so if you are unlucky, your app may get suspended although you are convinced that your app is fine. As many things in the world, words can be interpreted differently.Yes a one of message would be useful in that circumstance, if you know in advance that it's going to be banned
