Hi OP I'm from morocco and I can tell you that NOBODY in Morocco will pay your app. Why ? I'll tell you why. Here in the 3rd world countries we don't have credit card unless we get a job, and when I say "get a job" I mean 28 and up . Morocco is very different from Europe and US because we don't have unemployement and just to make a living is really hard. Also Piracy here is something commun because our ISP ( and we have only one lol who fuck the market with their High price and low value) Doesn't block torrent, as long as you stay out of Illegal stuffs... Also even if I have a credit card at 21 ( I worked in a call center in the last summer so I can afford it) I will never lose money on apps. First: I'm poor Second : We only have 10 000 Dirhams ( 900 Euro ) to spend in a whole YEAR. Wich means we're very careful on what we spend money on. So the best thing I can tell you is to add a banner and one or two Interstial ads and NOBODY will bat an eye . Hope I gave you an insight OP :)

I'd say the same about Indian users like myself. The sort of people who are downloading this app on their last-generation hardware are unlikely to pay for in-app purchases, and definitely not for donations. Although you do have reviews on the Play Store claiming to the contrary, so your call to make. Also worth evaluating whether the PPC network you're thinking of using will pay you the same rate for audiences in these countries as they do for audiences in the West (which is already very little)

The bit about credit cards makes sense for Morocco. It is somewhat valid for Brazil. With the difference that, from the description, it is easier to get credit cards here. There's indeed a huge portion of the population that is underbanked, but there is still a large amount of credit cards to go around. Now, the problem is that the demographic that has both smartphones and disposable income will probably have a good enough smartphone that a 'lite' Facebook is not required.
