Mobile SDK Viewability Plugin

The Mobile SDK Viewability plugin counts an in-app impression only after the creative has been in view for a set share and time. App publishers and advertisers running the Revive Adserver mobile SDK get counts that reflect ads that could be seen.

What it does

• Admin options set the viewability percentage and view time, with a default example of more than 30% for 3 seconds.
• An in-app impression counts only after those thresholds are met, not when it merely loaded.
• Ad wastage becomes visible, such as a creative sitting below the visible part of an app screen.
• Banner, HTML banner and text ads in mobile apps are covered.
• Reports let marketers judge inventory value.

How it fits your ad stack

It measures ads delivered through the Revive Adserver mobile SDK, so it is an add-on for apps that already use that SDK. The Open Measurement SDK lets third-party verification vendors measure viewability and verify ads in apps, and the MRC display standard counts an ad as viewable at 50% of pixels in view for 1 continuous second. MRC accreditation applies to measurement vendors, so a plugin can offer configurable measurement but cannot claim accreditation.
