Monetization
This app uses monetization to help pay for domain costs, app registration and server costs. Cost? Website's ($20 / year), Business Address ($90 / year), Business Name ($125), Notary ($25), Testers ($40) and that doesn't count our Google Services API, "pay as you go." In short... While ads are minimal to the app experience. I'm not turning a profit. It's estimating about $100 each year, with an inital start up cost of a little over ~ $300 just to publish and keep an app running. Due to this nature, app can't be fully free.
