I currently use Tapatalk which is a nice app but I really want a different app that allows me to better manage my users and ads. One of the things I want to be able to do is having certain user groups from seeing ads. Also I want a better way to mange my ads.

I was curious if any of you folks had some suggestions.

Also, how much does it cost to have your own app written to work with VBulletin?

Thanks for any advice!

I'd just use a responsive theme instead of a mobile application.
Most mobile devices now display full HD resolution without any problems.
If you're willing to spend a reasonable amount for quality you may want to check out SultanTheme. https://www.sultantheme.com/

Thanks for the info!. Would a theme just be something that could be created within my VB admincp and allow it to pickup any mobile device and automatically switch to that specific theme. Thanks!

Try to convert your theme into responsive design like I did with my forum

then you even don't need an app or mobile style any more.

This is pretty easy, if a little intimidating at first. What you probably want to do is to wrap your ads in conditionals based on usergroups (https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/template_conditionals).

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 5, 7)">
Only members in Usergroups 5 and 7 would see this.
</vb:if>
