Question about iAds. Do you think this is possible?

Hey guys,

Penguin Pounce isn't doing that great, so we need to make some money.
I thought iAds would be a nice tool. I do know that you won't get a ton of money, but just a little would be better then nothing.

I was thinking of putting iAds on Penguin Pounce, the full version.
I would make it free, but 21,000 people already have it.

I was thinking, would it be possible to access the date and when they open the app, I change an attribute to true.
I would say something like, if attribute game.openwhen is greater then date whatever, show iAds.

So this way, they wouldn't receive iads unless they had downloaded it after the update had come up.
I hope this makes sense. :P

What do you think, could this be possible?
I would be sure to add an iAP to remove the iAds too.

    Do you have something like a hi-score in the game?


    if so, you could do a check to see if the hi-score is >0 when the game is run for the first time after the update
    if it is...it means they must have already played it

    There "may" be a a very small percentage of people who bought the game who didn't play it of course...but fairly unlikely I guess.
