    Howdy,
    This happens to be all the time on my GS7. After a fight, I will tap to watch the ad to get the 50% bonus. When the ad is finished, if I'm doing something and don't get around to tapping the 'x' to close it, when I do tap it, the screen will go black and it will never take me back into the game. I have to manually close the game and open it back up again.

    Happens to me a few times a day, usually if I don't close an ad out right away like you said

    Same here. It's really annoying. Not only after watching add, sometimes can happen on any screen if I let the phone to turn off screen by itself.

    So does anyone from Rovio actually monitor these forums or do we post bugs for our own amusement?

    That's why there is no bug report option in a game...

    Actually, they do monitor the forums a lot. But the best way to ask them about this problem is to direct message them.

    If you take too long to give your phone input, it will essentially put the phone to sleep and therefor suspend the app.

    This happens even if the ad was still on the screen but you just wait "too long" (dunno what the time limit is). When you close the ad the game doesn't come back up.

    Maybe it’s to discourage you from afk-ing the ad. You have to watch to know exactly when it’s over, like when you go fishing in Minecraft/Trove, you gotta reel it in asap

    Some of the ads play and go right back to the summary screen on their own. Some stay with the ad on the screen and you have to tap the 'X'. I'm sitting here right now watching football and playing Battle Bay. A good play was on and I didn't see the ad was done and when I looked down and tapped the 'X', I got a black screen. And no, it's not by design. The app is still running but just won't display. Only thing I can do is press Home to get out and then kill the app from my running apps list to then go back in.

    Happened to me too. I went to watch an ad, but after I tapped on the ad button, it froze on a black screen with 15s remaining. I had to restart the game.
