Ads by AppLovin are running 45-60+sec before the reward is granted
the other one is ironSource Mobile. This one has an overlay, which does not show up, if you click to fast. If so, you have to close the game and restart.
Same issue here- I'd say there's about 25% chance an ad works for me- no real link between what does and doesn't work. I don't bother any more, except for Thursday 2x rewards for shuttle boosts as a result.
I get an unexpected error after I watched a double ad. Every now and then if the reward contains ONE SR item and ALWAYS if the non-double reward contained TWO SR items.
The double reward isn't granted, naturally...
I think it is not a problem with the ad or ad provider itself, but the game.
Looks to be the times I've checked. Never an issue during the ad, just no reward when it closes.
I'm now just not watching ads at all, except for boosts on Thursday and Saturday as the shuttle boosts and credits are useful. Takes around 3 attempts to pay out, and given they are getting exponentially longer until rewards are given, mean I frequently just end up closing the game down entirely instead.
Past week or so when I watch a 2x rewards video I do not receive the double rewards. I don’t know if it’s a glitch or because I have the worst data connection at times. I am on iPad.
RTX 6 ZipCore Wedges ad is broken. Freezes at 1 second remaining until reward. Tried closing it and selecting the 2x rewards button again 3 times. Always returns to the same broken ad. Ad finally cleared after 10+ minutes. Didn't give the 2x reward.. Tried again, back to the same ad. These ads need to be set to force a different ad when there are problems.

We will take a look into it Captain! Thank you so much for reporting! If you encounter nay other issue feel free to report it. LLAP
Very long. Frequently crashes which forces STT to restart completely, which mean the cadet mission ticket is gone and I have irretrievably lost the opportunity to double.
On the odd occasion it does not make my STT crash, it does NOT pay out, and I have to watch a (hopefully different) ad.
I play on Android devices.
AppLovin in general seems to be dodgy. Lengthy multi-part ads which frequently will NOT pay out on completion (if they do not crash and force STT to restart before completion).
The one ad provider I do not mind is Ads by Google. They actually seem to run reasonable (short and unobtrusive) ads for local businesses that I find relevant. Is there any way to make it so that the ONLY ads my two accounts ever receive are from Ads by Google? The other ad providers are rubbish in comparison.
EDIT: And it's happened once more. Hero Wars. AppLovin. Crashed STT. Lost my cadet ticket. No doubled rewards.

Taking a look captain, Thank you for the heads up! LLAP
Last few days now there are ads that play and then lock up. You can't close them, you can't back out of them, and when you tap the ad, nothing happens: it won't even take you to an install page for the advertised game.
It started with Fishdom, but now it's several different ads for games, all of them with the same result above.
This is on Android/Google Play.

There is no way out of the ad called "Color Screws" with out closing the game.... you can push the little arrow all you want it just opens up more pages in your browser But you can't close the ad!
Ads on iOS war way too long. Ads run for about 50s-1min+ before you can finally close them. (Ads on Android run for ~30s).
Double Ads have a tendency to fail.

Thank you! We will take action immediately. LLAP
Ad is still there, this time provided by AppLovin
Greetings Captain, could you remember which ad is the one causing the problem? Thank you, LLAP

Garbage system
The ad is long gone, all I have is that screenshot. I believe that's an identifier mark in the lower right though, if that helps.
