TapNation, the mobile game publisher behind Thief Puzzle and , has partnered with ad quality leader AppHarbr to elevate player experiences and maximise ad performance. With real-time ad quality controls, TapNation prevents disruptive creatives from ever reaching players, eliminating unskippable ads and preserving seamless gameplay. While ads fuel revenue and enable progression through rewarded play, poor ad quality creates friction from intrusive creatives and aggressive templates to app crashes. This leads to complaints, churn, and negative reviews that undermine long-term growth.
If you ask someone in ad tech what makes an ad "quality," chances are they'll fire off a familiar answer: "Viewable." "Human." And just like that - it's case closed. But consider this claim: The above barely scratches the surface. Yes, for years, these two metrics - human and viewable - shaped how advertisers measure, price and evaluate ad placements, treating them as matter-of-fact, not pausing to question them.
"AppHarbr empowers us to uphold the standards our users expect proactively, not reactively, while driving greater efficiency across our ad quality control and deeper engagement across our user base." -Sergei Efimov, CRO at FunCorp
