I submitted an app and it got approved. its .99 cents. I am not a pro member. but after every damn screen it pops up an ad for candy crush. why is that? why are they showing ads in my game after every screen? i did not want ads in it at all, since it is a paid game.

You need to purchase a pro membership to remove that ads

Ridiculous, my last app didnt just pop up ads and it was a dollar, but this app ads them in after every screen. How am i suppose to charge people a dollar for my app when it has ads in it? Guess im going to have to wait until i can upgrade to pro so my game dont have to have the ads. I mean, they are popping up ALOT in this game, after every single scene.
How is it ridiculous @kipdev ? Your using the free version of GS! Its always been clear that if you want pro features like no Ads then you need to pay for GS. How do you thing GS gets built? Using the money made from Pro members, thats how! It looks like GS have stepped up the amount of Ads in games made by the free version which is prob your anger here but unless you go PRO, GS will deliver ads in your game whether its free or paid.

Just surprised me i guess, like i said my last app didnt have ANY ads in it at all, and this one is every screen
Are you using a lot of change scenes or reset scenes? If you are I would assume that the ads are automatically placed on when those behaviors are used. That would be my guess at why you are seeing them more frequently than on another app.
Is this true? I was hoping to generate some income from my first app to pay for the PRO account. I've already spent a couple of months of my life learning how to use Gamesalad. Now I am starting to believe it's just going to waste.
Ya apparently if your not pro they can put ads in your game. My first app there wasbt, but now there is in my new app, gonna have to upgrade to pro
Yes, ad pop ups always when you change or reset your game's scenes. I'm fine with it, because I'll upgrade to pro soon.
But there are one thing that I would like to be changed when user clicks ads off.
When I reset or change scene and an ad appears -> I click "x" to close it -> game starts to load new scene with ad is still on the screen and ad disappears only after new scene is loaded and ready to play.
I think that it would be a lot of better for the user experience, if ad disappears immediately after clicking "x", before new scene is going to be loaded (You can't click the ads anymore after clicking "x"). That way it wouldn't hurt playing experience with the "fresh scene". Player might also be confused, if he/she clicks "x" to close the ad and it doesn't immediately disappear.
Also if I have added loading screen to be shown when I change or reset scene, ad pops on the top of it so that loading screen can't be seen.
Of course, if GameSalad gets more money with showing the ads as it is now (The more "ad seconds" -> the more money), that might be the way to go.
There are also some kind of bug with music and those ads, because if I have different music for "menu scene" and "play scene", it doesn't change from "menu music" to "play music" immediately when "play scene" is loaded (it plays "menu music" for ~2-3 seconds in the "play scene"). Without ads everything works.
