I develop for both iOS and Android and since last year, I have completely stopped using ads in all my newer apps. I have switched to a freemium model. On my recent HACK app for HN client for example, I let you use all features and unlock features on a session basis. So lets say you switch on dark mode, I let you use it for the session until the app is either killed by iOS or restarted from the app switcher. Once restarted, you need to re-set the dark theme and I just show you a popup asking you to support development with a one time only small IAP. This freemium model has been working good. On another of my apps, OLEDify I have used a tipping/donation model where I give all features for free complete and hope that you will tip me whatever money you like. This hasn't really gotten me much despite thousands of downloads and DAU but I just don't want to support the advertisement companies based on all the recent manipulative tactics they have been playing.
