I spent much of my time during the MWC to discuss with Ad Networks, with the intention to improve GoodBarber's ads features.

My feeling is that most of these services are meta Ad Networks. They work with many Ad Servers and through their algorithms, they take care to provide maximum gain to their customers.

I can quote Smaato , InMobi , Adfonic and the very friendly people of Ad4Screen as services that have caught my attention.

Our Holy Grail is the generic implementation of an Ad Server in GoodBarber, this trend is perfect for us :-)

Implementing the SDK of one of the services mentioned above allows GoodBarber to be compliant with all the ad servers managed by this service.

I also discovered AirPush , a mobile Ad Network focused only on Android which has the ability to send ads by Push. I found it quite original.

A word for a service that deserves a mention: going around these Ad Networks, I stumbled upon Crittercism , a bug tracker that really attracted me. We will soon use this tool, allowing us to stay aware of the stability of our applications and constantly improve their quality :-)

Your Meta real estate catalog now shows up in your agency's app

The short version. Meta catalog, map and Meta catalog, listings are two extensions of GoodBarber, the no-code app builder, that read an agency's "Home listings" catalog, the XML feed it gives Meta for its real estate ads. Meta catalog, map fills a Map section: each property with a known position becomes a pin with its own page, sorted by distance when the app knows where the user is. Meta catalog, listings fills an Article section with the same properties, newest first. You connect them with the link to your catalog feed. Both are free for Content apps.Agencies build this catalog to reach buyers and tenants where they spend their time. Meta's apps were used by 3.60 billion people a day on average in June 2026, up 3% in a year, according to Meta's second quarter 2026 results published on July 29, 2026. Here is how the two extensions play out for an agency in Hamburg.

Your Givebutter events and campaigns now show up in your app

The short version. Givebutter Events and Givebutter Campaigns are two extensions of GoodBarber, the no-code app builder, that read a nonprofit's campaigns on Givebutter. Givebutter Events fills a Calendar section with upcoming events, at their time in the event's time zone, with their location unless you share it with attendees only. Givebutter Campaigns fills an Article section with active forms and fundraising pages, with their cover image and description. You connect them with a Givebutter API key. Both are free for Content apps: each section counts as one of the extensions included in your plan.A lot of giving already goes through Givebutter. On Giving Tuesday 2025, supporters gave $20 million on the platform, up from $16.4 million in 2024, from more than 93,000 donors across 16,000 active campaigns, according to Givebutter's recap published on December 8, 2025. Here is how the two extensions play out for an animal rescue.
