What do you like best about Appodeal?

It is effortless to set up and get it to work. All ad networks are in one place, with more than 70 ad demand sources. Live support is beneficial to beginners. High eCPM and much more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Appodeal?

Some ad networks don't work correctly to get more clicks on ads, and this situation is harmful to your users. I think the payment threshold should be less than as is now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Appodeal solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was used to using Admob and frequently getting ad serving limits, and Admob was my only source of ads, so when I get ad serving limits, I couldn't get paid. Now I use Appodeal; if I get an ad serving limit from Admob, it doesn't matter there are other ad sources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Appodeal?

It has almost all of the ad networks integrated with it and we can choose which network we want to use.

One of the best eCPMs in the market.

Customer Support is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Appodeal?

SDK integration in Unity was really difficult and hectic for the first time.

Setup for Admob and Facebook FAN needs to be done separately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Appodeal solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have used AppODeal as an Ads network for our game Bladers Multiplayer which is on PlayStore, earlier we used to use Unity Ads and Admob separately but now after integrating AppoDeal our revenue has increased and ads are optimised with using 10 different netoworks. We, at Brahmos Interactive, are using it for all of our apps and are completely satisfied with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Appodeal?

At first, not being aware that they much more than an Ad Mediation tool. Appodeal is a whole Growth Platform where Indie Developers can self-launch their projects. If I knew that before, I would have saved a lot more time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Appodeal solving and how is that benefiting you?

We've been using it to control all monetization & metrics from one place and find new opportunities to grow some of our clients' games. They have one of the most accessible BI tools we've tried, very convenient to align our ASO efforts with the UA campaigns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Appodeal?

multi ad networks and staff support. They helped me a lot Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Appodeal?

at the very beginning I had problems in the Play Store, because there was included an ad network deprecated by Google and it was a little difficult for me to sort it out (I am a single developer and I have only spare time) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Appodeal solving and how is that benefiting you?

Instead of having a single ad network like admob, now Appodeal choose for me the best ad available with the best profit Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Appodeal?

The choice of different ad networks and the ability to choose what to show and what not is great.

Hassle free integration on both mobile platforms for Unity 3d

Delayed but excellent support. They help you out till your problem gets resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Appodeal?

Delays in answering the queries, even the simplest ones.

More revenue and eCPM for big impressions, not as help for beginners as it should be

Initially, I don't see much difference as they claim. Did talk to their support rep. They said you have to have a few thousand daily impressions to have the perks of Appodeal at its full scale. This is disappointing for a small startup since they don't have thousands of impressions on daily basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Appodeal:

If you are a Unity3D developer and looking for all-in-one place ad meditation. Appodeal is a best choice for you compared to other similar services out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Appodeal solving and how is that benefiting you?

Consistent Ad revenue for mobile platforms.

What do you like best about Appodeal?

1. You can include whatever ad network you want when building your app and remove those that are not performing.

2. After the app is live very fine control about what ad providers and format are used based on segments and/or a number of parameters.

3. Historical weekly data on how each of the ad networks has performed across all their clients not just your impressions.

4. Great reporting, for example, you can find out what hours during the day or days of the week your ads perform the best.

5. Great support. They will respond to an e-mail within a day and usually within a few hours.

6. Good eCPM. I have tried so many monetization mediators and none has been able to consistently outperform Appodeal.

7. Free adServer for cross-promotions or any direct deals you might get. And the ability to give the company that purchased your impressions to go into the Appodeal control panel and see only the performance of their impressions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Appodeal?

They do a terrible job communicating all the features available. I would also love if their S2S server did not require decryption of the payload. Some game service providers do not have any crypt libraries and most S2S rely on some sort of hashed key to verify payload. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Appodeal solving and how is that benefiting you?

It makes it easier to calculate LTV since Appodeal already does the ARPDAU calculation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Appodeal?

What I personally liked was how they tracked the audience and made sure the ad that was ran would leave an impression on the audience that was seeing it. Instead of wasting money putting out mediocre ads, they select the best one and monetize it on the network. They give immediate payouts and look for prime optimization of ads. They prioritize the publisher and that is the main goal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Appodeal?

The only thing I dislike is I feel like I have less control since they are choosing the ads. It depends how much you trust Appodeal. The website for Appodeal is also a little bit "in your face" with a lot of different options to look through. They do not give a general cost or even a sample price which is something I would like to see. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Appodeal:

Know what you are looking for. If you are ok with giving the reigns to someone else for this part of your app then go with Appodeal. It will save you time and provide more revenue which can help you expand other parts of your company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Appodeal solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is helping to bring in revenue that wasn't previously there. I like that it is constantly tracking the audience and I do not have to. It saves a lot of time and money when I don't run ads that people are not going to go to and when I do not have to choose the ads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
