Location permission only for the ad platforms: Is it worth it?



I'm considering add location permissions to my app (Android) in order to pass that location to the ad platforms (currently Admob and Mobfox). But I don't want to make it if it doesn't worth it because ask for location in my app have not sense from the point of view of the user.





Does someone have tested how the location affect on the CRT, eCPM ...?





Thanks

  1. Based on my experience, most users don't know what permissions are, what they mean, and just click their way to the download as fast as they can. You could ask the permission to empty their bank account and date their wives and they wouldn't read it.

    Of course there are exceptions but so few.

  2. It's against AdMob's terms of service to provide location information if the application itself does not use location. So I would recommend that you don't add the permission only to pass the location to the ad networks.

  3. People are going to complain about it in the comments, I would suggest explaining any permissions in the App Description field.

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top.

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
