“Ad causing problem probably depend on the country you live in”, this might be a problem as I put up in India and hardly had any ad problem!!

the ads which i come across are:

1) Angry Birds Epic
2) Angry Birds Go
3) Angry Birds Friends
4) Boom Beach*
6) Pirates Plunder
7) Thumps Up* ( Indian version) :P
8) Angry Birds 2
9) Angry Birds Space
10)

“The problems with the ads is not caused by the game developer (i.e. Rovio), but the developer who made the ad and the App Store.”

It seems to me that the code that tells the app how to handle the ads is malfunctioning. The “You can’t watch another video right now” message maybe a result of a counter in the app that tells the app that the maximum number of ads has been reached for the time period. The rewards maybe a result of code that tells the app what to do with an ad based on where you are in the app (e.g. missions = extra keys, buddy screen = more time, node complete = double pigs/coins). That being said, it is possible for specific apps to be causing crashes, but given that the crashes are occurring during game launch, gameplay and during/after ads points to the code in the app being the problem. Jmo…

All,
Please beware there are more problems in ABT than the Ads.I sent the following to Rovio and this occurred twice today. The ads are still not providing the bonuses as promised by Rovio but it appears the entire game is going down to the maintenance area for repair or reissue.

Just play twice in the Professor Lab. Selected Birdium twice and Pig Iron once on two different occasions. My totals after completing the playing of two times were 21,456,604 coins and 60,814 gems.
After getting out of the Professor Lab a screen popped up saying that the game had to restart to save my progress. The game restarted and I lost all my progress. The coins were reset at 21,455,604 and the gems were reset at 60,809. I LOST all my progress. I have screen shots to prove it. I also lost the
Please explain why!
What is wrong with this game?
Why is everything going bad?

It seems like they are not going to correct this present bugs. I suspect an new update for ABT is in the near future.

Then don’t post you’re good we’re not. Happy you’re having a better experience than us.

There seems to be no understanding of regression testing at Rovio. Does what worked before work with whatever added.

Having the same issue on iPad 2. It keeps trying to play the BMW ad. The ad finishes and then nothing! If you click the X, it closes the ad, doesn’t give the bonus and when you try another mission or node… Says you can’t watch another video. It lasts for a day, then let’s you watch another video… Which is the BMW video and repeats.

I had the same problems this weekend on iPad Air2 with the BMW, Best Buy, Clorox, War Dragons, etc., ads.

On Tuesday 9/1/15 there appears to be progress in fixing these bonus video issues from Rovio:

1. I have been playing the Jenga levels this morning and all the bonus coins and pigs have been issued after watching the videos.
2. After completing a Mission, the Mission Debrief bonus video for the 5th key appears to working as of this morning.
3. Looks like “Boost You Buddy” bonus video now increases the time for the buddy.

If the Professors Lab can be fixed that would be great.

Ad doubles seem to be working today in Australia, I haven’t had any issues at all today. But the game is still constantly crashing, on maybe 1 in 3 levels played, usually when Glassor is used

the last update seems to have fixed the issue… Good job Rovio with being so responsive!

Mine’s working now too. And these shorter node spawn times are wonderful!

Mine is working, but it seems the counter is back, so no more unlimited videos.
