Status
This plugin is forked from cordova-plugin-admob-simple and removed the ad-sharing related code.
The code for Android has almost all rewritten to be more maintainable, plus some extra features.
For iOS, while it is working, I have less interest in writing Objective-C code these days. If someone is willing to help, feel free to send a pull request, I will review it.

Ionic Support
While the Ionic community have provided an Ionic Native Plugin, plugin users need more examples and tutorials.
As I (@ratson) don't use Ionic myself, it would be great if some experienced Ionic developers could help answering questions or come up with more examples. HELP WANTED HERE.
