Give me an option to search for "no ads" in an app, or give me nothing. I've simply stopped buying iOS apps because I'm done with the ad loads.

This might not be what you want but Apple Arcade has slowly become the place I search for games. Quality of games is very high.

No ads, no IAP. As a parent it is also handy for the same reasons as far as the kids devices go.

Same.

My only issue is as a long time iPhone user they have a lot of games labeled as “+” which means it was previously available but had cost money.

There are many great games, but they’re not with a lot to me as I’ve already played them.

Great for people who hadn’t though.

It really is a great offering, especially when rolled into a family plan. Lots of high quality games on apple TV as well. Only problem is the OS limitation so I can't use a lot of older iPads I have lying around.

I want to search for no subs. I dont want to see a result for a $5/week wallpaper app.

No subs and no ads would be great.

What's a "sub"?

Likewise, I want to search for "no IAP" apps.

I don't mind IAP necessarily, but it's frustrating when you download an app and then it immediately says you have to pay $10 a month to even open it. Those shouldn't be listed as "free" in the App Store and should be separate from an app that might be "free" but have a minor feature disabled by an IAP.

Out of curiosity, how do you feel about an app that is free to download but has ads, but has an In App Purchase to remove the ads?

Reading some of the other comments, it sounds like some people really hate ads and in app purchases

nreilly|3 years ago

If the in-app purchase to remove ads is shareable across the family, then that’s fine. If not, I’d prefer to just buy the app and have it share across my kids iPads instead.

Same here. It's ridiculous that I should pay for an app and have to deal with banners and popups regardless.

Yep. “Ad Supported” is not “free”
