    It literally doesn’t do that. If you pay for it, the ad code doesn’t even initialize, thus performing no tracking. And crash analytics are optional.

    At least, if we trust Laurence. I wish it was open source so we could verify, but I choose to trust him.

      Hey, you do you. I’m weirded out that the app makes you accept all that stuff and is only one commented line away from collecting your stuff. But I’m not here to lecture others. If you enjoy the app and think it’s money well spent, I wish that you get out of it what you hope for and that’s enough for me.

        That’s fair. Unfortunately Google doesn’t let you make multiple versions of the same app anymore, so he can’t make a second, paid version without that code. On the other hand, what’s the difference between a commented line and a missing line?
