  2. Install on device: Download and install APK
  3. Test banner ads: Navigate through all screens
  4. Test interstitial ads: Switch between tabs multiple times
  5. Check logs: Verify ads are loading and showing

See BUILD_AND_TEST_ADMOB.md for detailed testing instructions.

Revenue Potential

Estimated Earnings (Example)

Based on typical AdMob rates for similar apps:

Assumptions:

  • 1,000 daily active users
  • 10 ad impressions per user per day
  • $1 CPM (cost per 1000 impressions) average

Calculation:

  • Daily: 1,000 users × 10 impressions = 10,000 impressions
  • Daily revenue: 10,000 / 1,000 × $1 = $10/day
  • Monthly revenue: $10 × 30 = $300/month

Note: Actual revenue varies based on:

  • User location (US/EU higher CPM)
  • Ad type and placement
  • User engagement
  • Advertiser demand

Next Steps

  1. ✅ Implementation complete
  2. ⏳ Build app with eas build
  3. ⏳ Install and test on device

Short Term (Production)

  1. Create AdMob account
  2. Register app and create ad units
