Glossary
This is a short list of terms that will occur in the documentation and which might be unfamiliar to you or which we might use in another way as you maybe know them.
SDK
Our code fragments you need to integrate in your app to earn money via adjoe's ad formats. This documentation guides you through the integration process.
SDK App
The app in which you integrate the adjoe SDK.
Playtime Apps
Partnes apps that are rewarded based on time and usage. Available only if user allow your app to track his app usage.
Advance Apps
Partner apps that are rewarded based on Levels achieved. Available if user didn't allow your app to track his app usage.
Sign-up Process
Before the user can use the adjoe SDK with all its functionalities, he has to sign up. He has to accept adjoe's Terms of Service and optionally allow your app to track his app usage. Only signed-up users (i.e. users who successfully accepted Terms of Service) can install partner apps. If the user allow your app to track his app usage, the user can install Playtime Apps, otherwise the user can install Advance Apps. Check with your Adjoe's representative for more details.
Feed
The place in which we show our ads to your users. These ads are for other apps. Playtime or Advance Apps are displayed in a separate activity and can be launched via Adjoe.showOfferwall
.
Partner App
An app advertised in Playtime/Advance. Users can earn rewards by installing and playing these apps and you earn money for every user install.
App Usage
adjoe rewards your users for the amount of time they use partner apps. For this to work, we need to be able to track the usage of the partner apps. Thus, the sign-up process includes a step in which the user can allow this in his phone settings. Once the user has spent enough time in another app, his app usage results in a reward payout. The amount of time required to reach a payout via a partner app can be individually defined per SDK app.
Reward
A virtual currency in your app which the user receives after continuously playing a partner app. Users qualify for rewards repeatedly after playing the partner app for specified amounts of time.
Payout
The process of redeeming the rewards. Once a reward is paid out, it cannot be paid out again.
Adjoe Parameters
These parameters are related to User Acquisition and Playtime placement. You can pass them with many requests (as specified below). By passing this information to us, you can aggregate your statistics by these individual parameters when evaluating the performance of the Playtime in your app, for example: the different placements of the adjoe button via which users have accessed Playtime, and the UA source. You can pass any of these parameters (Network

, SubPublisherEncrypted
or Placement
) independently. A brief description of each parameter is given below.

UA Channel
