 When you open the app, an ad that blocks everything. Full screen. Until you’ve watched for a set amount of time. That would really add to the user experience

 13 seconds?  Something a little occultish?

Maybe 9 seconds?  Very annoying.

 At least 13 seconds. Definitely occult. 
You know what else would be great? If after the long ad, you had to enter your phone number. Or else it wouldn’t let you use it.
There is a lot of bots and criminals online

 Phone is way too fucking personal.  You Fed. 

Eye scan or face scan required for sure. Any biometrics really, fingerprinting works.
