As original post says, the ad database is very small. I started from scratch, and unless an ad is added to the database, it won't be blocked.

I have to manually add to it (not hard), but I have to have reports of what apps are still displaying ads. I will be adding over the air updates to the ad database once people start giving me reports.

So yeah just mention the app here or on XDA.
Gotcha... sounds awesome. Here's my list so far:

- AppBrain
- ASTRO
- Bubble
- Cestos
- Coin Flip
- DailyHoroscope
- Dictionary.com
- Marbles Solitaire
- Movies (Flixster)
- Puzzle Attack
- Shazam
- The Weather Channel

Does it block individual ads, or "groups" (hosts? I dunno) of ads? I mean like... say you find 1 ad, and add it to your database however you are doing it... will that only block that 1 ad? Or will it block all ads from that specific advertising company, or anything like that?

Sorry for asking so many questions, haha
