An Android app I made in a few hours makes $500/m from ads, and has 1M+ downloads on Google Play. It claims to be a radar detector for your phone, but that's not even possible (it's actually just completely random). The description says that it is for novelty purposes, but the reviews show people believe it works and it has a placebo effect. Most reviews say things like "I drove past a police station and it went off!…

This app should be reported as having a misleading description or at least it should be in the "games" category not in the "transportation".

I started a little niche webshop in 2011. In 2014, the monthly revenue were around $2500/month. It's not passive income, but I only use ~ 1 hour a day on it (packaging etc.)

What is a "little niche webshop" if I may ask? What exactly do you do?
