Congrats! This looks really interesting. One thing I would appreciate clarity on: I'd prefer not to send data to ad networks, if I pay for the ad free version, will that not only prevent the display of ads but also any associated tracking?

That's a really interesting question that I'm going to look in to. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. At the moment if you pay for the ad free version, ads are immediately destroyed and prevented from loading from there on out. The only thing that I need to look in to is if initializing AdMob in the app results in any tracking. It is not my intention to send any user data to ad networks if they have the ad-free version and I will fix it if I find out that I've overlooked something.

I've looked in to the question and I've changed it so that even the MobileAds SDK is only initialized if premium is not active when the application is first created. This way, if premium is enabled, AdMob is not touched in any way at any stage of the application's lifecycle. I asked whether or not this initialize call I was worried about actually does anything with respect to tracking and the only answer I've gotten so far is a "no", but I still need to do a little more research to make sure there aren't any other possible ways you may be tracked if ads aren't ever being loaded or requested. This additional check will go live in a day or two and I'll update you if I find any other potential issues.
