Ads are now no longer appearing even after restarting. (With the appropriate cooldown times - I had run a scan ad at 1100 BST and tried to run again at 1219 after restarting)

Therefore, this is not a global issue, but instead seems to be either OS- or device-related.
I hope the company sorts this out for affected players, soon™️. 🖖

Yesterday I upgraded to 8.0.1 on Android and the ad buttons not appearing has been a permanent fixture since then. Before the update I didn't have an issue with it. At least a restart of the app was able to get them to appear again ... so far.
Edit: After a day of testing, I noticed that using different VPN exit nodes in various countries has a reproducible effect on the results. The best location for me is Amsterdam, Netherlands and while it's not perfect, the results are definitely better than anything else I've tried.
2x Ipad and 2x Iphone tested ... 14.5.1 version.
Have not seen a single add for over a week now ..
Interest in the game is lowering rapidly due to having a disadvantage compared to other players who do get the ad doubles, and the increasing amount of faction events..
This is still happening, but more constantly now. Further, if I confirm that the ad is available, if I wait too long before running a scan or doubling a cadet, the availability will be reset and I will not be given the double (or “free” scan) option.
A game restart seems to fix this, but any app that requires constant restarts (every 20 mins or so) to work properly is not appropriate for commercial release.
This appears to be happening again. It started after the system maintenance on 5/25. If I don't restart the app every hours, then ads won't appear. This applies to all ads - doubles, scans, and regular missions.
i've been encountering this behaviour as well.
However it's random for me. Most of the time it works, and then randomly, the game needs to be restarted.

Yea, this is still a thing 7 months later. Great job on that.
I've learned that anytime I might want to adwarp (which is rare, I still haven't forgiven you for "Buy Again"-gate) I make sure I restart my game if it's been open for more than 5 minutes.
Like almost all folks, I leave it open in the background all the time. I only force close it when ads don't appear or I get stuck "Hailing Starfleet" when trying to launch an ad. My phone will also take it out of active memory if enough other apps have been used in between which forces a reload.

Ditto, just restart, no worries here.

Is this actively being worked on or is it just another bug on the long list of "yeah, that's not right but :shrug:"?
This is on our list but it is about time and resources, as always.
Are you leaving the game open in the background often?
Or do you force close the app each time?
Any details can help, thank you!
