Adverts? An appalling addition. How do I downgrade to previous version?

More to the point, how did you avoid the adverts in the previous version?

Ads are part of Version 3.91. In previous versions players would only see ads when playing anonymously.
The way ads are displayed on the mobile app is now similar to the other versions of BBO (web and downloadable client). Free areas see ads. As soon as a player plays something pay or engages in other commerce activity (eg. rent robots) ads will be hidden for 24 hours.

Yes, paid/pro version of app that removes ads.
Ads totally ruin it for me and I've contacted Fred about it.
Unless a lot of people object it's unlikely to change.
So I've stopped using the mobile BBO app.
Btw, I don't mind it in the web client, but the limited screen estate on mobile and the blinking ad is a total killer

I ask, because the option is already available, but perhaps you think it too expensive at $0.25 per day (and only for the days on which you play).
Or perhaps (and with this I sympathise) the inconvenience of paying $0.25 on a daily basis is too much.

I never play on mobile client, only kibitz vugraph and interesting tables.
For that purpose I'd say maybe $10 or $15 but I could go higher.
And I just don't want to think about if I have money in an account or not.
If putting money in an account there would remove ads forever in mobile client, sure I can do that.

One possible drawback is that if you go through Google Play then Google expects a kick-back from the in-app purchases, which might then include a % of all the current revenue stream through paid services. THAT could be painful.

To promote Mobile BBO version,BBO have to take corresponding measures and BBO should do more from now on If possible.

I think the idea is to make it possible for people to play on BBO from any device (mac, PC, mobile, tablet) rather than promote one client over another. That said, there are probably more urgent features to align on mobile than Bingo, like CCs or training tables for example.
