I'm not keen on installing ANYTHING with built in advertising either. Tracking is Far FAR worse and should be illegal, no offer of consent. I paid Amazon to remove adverts from Kindles. The Kindles were bought locally and only the versions with adverts are sold in local retail.

I see your point, but I do think you're being rather unfair here. After all the whole point of the consent screens is to allow you tell the app that you're withholding (or withdrawing) your consent to cookies and/or tracking - and in that case you will see generic, non-targeted advertising.
Or, in the case of Freda, you always have the option of paying to remove advertising - or installing the paid-for Freda+ app which does not display advertising in the first place.
I can quite understand that you'd prefer to pay for an app, so as to avoid having to see advertising and/or letting advertisers track your activity. I personally feel the same way. But some people feel differently, and it seems best to me to let them have it their way if that's what they prefer.
