Mango Baby says goodbye to ads in the first update of 2024, prioritizing user experience.

Ever since Mango Baby was launched on Jun 27, 2020, it had a simple pricing model. Users could enjoy a large set of features for free, and ads were shown. You can unlock additional features and remove the ads with a one-time purchase.

The ads have brought me a good portion of the revenue. In fact, it accounted for 16% of the revenue for the year of 2023. This doesn't account for users who purchased Mango Baby Premium for the sole purpose of removing ads, and I expect removing ads would cost more.

However, I'm not proud that Mango Baby serves ads. I have tried my best navigating through AdMob and Google AdSense's consoles, and disabled all the settings for personalized ads. This minimizes the data collected by ad companies. Nevertheless, I believe any ad degrades the app experience.

Therefore, I made the decision to absorb this cost and remove ads completely in Mango Baby.

I hope this can generate a positive momentum for Mango Baby and Mango Umbrella in 2024.

Besides removing ads, Mango Baby v2024.1 also contains this change: charts now display average values excluding today and future dates by default. You can change the behavior back in Settings tab -> Chart Settings -> Chart Average Includes Today.
