I have released an app on the Android Market that let's users create "content" on their devices and then use the content in the app. To increase attractiveness to the app, I would like to offer some pre- built "content" that users could download and use inside the app. I was thinking of offering add-on "packs" available through the Android Market like I have seen with other apps. For example something like the Image Packs for "Find Differences" https://market.android.com/details?id=com.pineconesoft.comparator&feature=related_apps I would like to offer quite a few of these add-on packs, but I am concerned that many (20 or more) add-on packs might violate part of the Android Market Developer Program Policies:
"Do not post repetitive content." The add-on packs would contain different content, but all work only for the app I released. I also considered hosting the content on some online hosting service, and using the in-app billing API to allow users to pay for the content. I have a free Google Sites website right now, but I am leery of using it for hosting content due to the unknown amount of available bandwidth for free Google Sites. So, my questions are: 1) What does Google mean by "repetitive" content? 2) Has anyone used a free (or very cheap, price<$10/month) service for hosting content for an app and could recommend one to me? I do not want to redirect users to a website to download the content. I would include a built-in list in the app and have the code download the content once the user selected an add-on pack. Concerning the price of a hosting service, I am a college student, and my financial resources are limited.
