    Could you please let us know exactly which ads these are? We need the exact name and screenshots would be most helpful!
    The problem are the specific ad providers - and we need that info so we can forward it.

    Hello Grim,

    That is the problem, I cannot see which providers they are, because the screen turns black.

    The ads that are working are from Rovio and a game with some soldiers (cannot recall the name), but with most others the screen turns black and I have to restart the game again.

    Regads,
    Flint

    I think I'll post this here as it's ad relevant, the ones in particular are the Wish ads. I like to play music in the background of the game through the Google Play Music app that came as standard. This particular ad frustratingly enough is able to pause my music app and if I turn my music back on it will pause the ad. I've resorted to muting the tripe of an advert but what I want to know is why the ad has the capability to interact with my app? It's the only one that does it.

    I doubt it is related to specific ads, at least not after the latest update which makes things a lot worse. Almost every ad after battle wins will result black screen unless I click the x button as soon as the ad ends. Still, I put up a list of ads just in case you don't know where to look:

    1. Angry birds franchise (including AB 2, blast, evolution)
    2. Sea Game
    3. War Bot
    4. some non-game apps I forgot its name
    5. Alliance

    Some of ads didn't have problems before this update so I doubt it is the providers to be blamed.

    Have to say this subtle approach to sell VIPs might be smart but for players who aim to F2P this will go south pretty quickly.

    I do not receive any ads to get 50% bonus except the ROVIO's ads since about 10 days.I thought this problem stopped after 3 days when I got almost 10 ROVIO ads and the 50% bonus but after the problem started again until now

    In the latest release I'm not getting the option to watch ads about 1/3-1/2 of the time. I just get "normal rewards" at the end.

    All ads crashed the app today. After I watched the ads, it restarted the app itself and gave me no extra gold and sugar.
    Also every time it does this, the sound is turned off too.
    I am not watching ads anymore

    It is true that this problem is annoying, but I believe that the geniuses do their best to solve this problem of ads as soon as possible. just a little patience

    The game is restarting when I finish watching an ad for the shop refresh. It's happening every time. If i kill relaunch the watch video button is again available for shop refresh with the same result as before. I was not having this issue yesterday.

    This is a problem with the third party company serving the ads.
    Can you confirm which ads specifically are causing the issues so we can forward this info on and speed up the fix.

    You locked my previous post on this and trying to explain that something new has occurred with the ads. It's no particular ad that causes my app to restart... it's all ads and therefore I receive no bonus reward at all. Prior to this morning, my experience with watching ads was the same as everyone else... it only happened occasionally and with certain ads. Now it is completely impossible for me to receive bonuses because all ads trigger the same outcome.... app restart and no bonus. Thank you.
