Smartphone usage has skyrocketed, and some advertisers havebegun to experiment with aggressive, new techniques to display adson mobile devices. This includes pushing ads to the standardAndroid notification bar, dropping generically designed icons onthe mobile desktop, and modifying browser settings like bookmarksor the default homepage.

Because each of these techniques can display an advertisementoutside the context of a specific application, it's very difficultfor users to know exactly which app is responsible for any givenad. Lookout Ad Network Scanner & Detector provides a method forusers to determine which ad network and application are the sourcesfor such ads.

It's also common for ad networks to collect information thatidentifies a specific device or user for use in targeted marketingcampaigns. Much like for browser-based ads, this practice allowsusers to see more personalized or relevant ads. Despitepermissions-based information access, it is often difficult for theusers to understand what aspects of their information are collectedby ad networks.

Lookout Ad Network Scanner & Detector gives you insight intowhat types of ads can be displayed, and what information isgathered by the ad networks. With easy access to this information,you'll be able to decide whether you want to keep the app that hascertain ad networks on your phone. We've designed Ad NetworkScanner & Detector to make the practices supporting mobileadvertising more transparent to the average user.
