Thanks for the reply. Now I understand, and it makes sense.

Looking at the debug logs, it seems that the SDK makes several requests to the various services. Do each service count as an unique request or all of them count as one?

I am asking this because my app shows the ad at startup, and according to my analytics data the Views should be much higher, or the Requests much lower, in order to all be correct.

Each request is count as one, no matter how many services are being queried.

Requests are not only sent upon app launch.
They are also sent every time, when ad is displayed (to request the next ad).

Also, I would strongly suggest not to place ads on app launch. That results in much lower eCPM as if you would place ad after user has a chance to interact with your app for a while.

Any plans on expanding to banner ads?

Banner ads should be available right after we release support for video ads.
Both are coming in April.

Wonderful news, well done!

Thanks for all the help and clarifications.

Thanks Pavel, so far Appodeal did great on Amazon app store, the ecpm is pretty decent ($5~$6 eCPM on average), and yesterday I got $11eCPm, that is great, hope Appodeal will do better in the future!

When I test appodeal in my app, I found this error “[AppLovinInterstitialAdDialog] Attempted to show an interstitial while one is already displayed; ignoring” when I request an ad. Before this error, I can see appodeal requested and loaded an ad, but it does not show in the screen, even though the log said the ad has showed. Then my app request another ad, then this error showed up. And it preventing my app from requesting a new ad from that on. I only see this error in AppLovin, but not other ad networks.

Please take a look at it.

What do you mean precache? What’s the difference between precache and normal ad was loaded?

Precache is banner, that can be displayed, but not necessarily will be paid well.
It typically takes 20-30 seconds to query all ad networks to find the most profitable ad.
But if you want to display advertisement before query is complete, you can display precache — inexpensive banner, that loads very quickly.

Sounds like the new Mobario. No way a new network can pay net 7 or faster. This just isnt sustainable. This also sounds too good to be true. No way fill rate is even close to 100%. Lots of red flags here. I’ll pass…

If I want undisable a network disabled before, looks like Appodeal can not support this right now. If yes, please add this function in next update.

Just remove the method, if you want to enable network.
It is strongly advised not to disable any networks, because Appodeal was made as an automated solution and usually performance gets worse, when you start playing manually.

So when should I called this method? Before calling showBanner, cacheBanner or initialized? If I call it once, will it affect the future showBanner, cacheBanner? For example:

…
Appodeal.disableNetwork(“admob”);
Appodeal.cacheBanner(); // 1st requesting ad
…
Appodeal.cacheBanner(); // 2nd requesting ad
…

In the code above, I assume the 1st requesting ad will disable admob network. As for 2nd requesting ad, no disableNetwork(String) called before, how will cacheBanner behave? Disable admob or not?

Just call method disableNetwork(‘admob’) before anything else and admob should be disabled until user starts a new session.
