In-app advertising is a relatively new form of mobile advertising with great potential, but there is a lack of academic studies researching in-app advertising specifically. Hence this study investigating empirically the consumer attitudes toward in-app advertising, the factors influencing overall attitude, relationships between consumer attitude and their behaviors and the influences of gender.
