Tapas App - little to no ads to watch

[mong2]

Yes (I use android).
That might have something to do with your location, some have less ads. Or maybe you haven't updated the app, I had no ads because of that once. I'm not sure though.

[FleurRene]

Thanks so much for sharing. I've actually been waiting for an update like you said. I think it was just released yesterday.

I got ads again after updating the app. But I've noticed something. I can only get two ads each time I open the app.

After watching two ads, it would say that there are no videos available.

I would then have to close and open it again in order to get ads. If I don't restart the app, I won't get ads. I'll only get two ads before having to repeat it.

Maybe it's a bug or something.

It's definitely making it more difficult to watch ads. I have to close and open the app repeatedly just to get two videos.

By the way, what's your current hourly view limit? It's a new feature added. I guess it's no longer unlimited in the sense that we're used to.

I'm just glad we're still getting ads for now.

[mong2]

Oh wow I didn't notice the new stuff. My rate is now 60 ads/hour (which sucks cuz I was getting at least 200 at 10 ink/ad). Do surveys work for you? I've tried 2, one says someone took them all, the other just froze.

I find the new update has actually made it harder for me to get ink instead, hopefully it's just because it's new and they haven't worked out all the problems yet.

I feel sad because it is only limited to 10 ads per hour. I usually dont have the time to open the app every hours and usually dedicating one to two hours straight to hit the watch button. Now it's harder because of the limit.

Plus, although its said I'll get 20 coins, I still got the usual 10. Never exceed from that. Wondering if it is a bug.

[FleurRene]

Me too. I got 60 per hour limit. I'm kind of okay with that. But now I'm finding it much harder to get ads.

It's not consistent. A lot of times I can't even get ads even after restarting the app. I wonder why.

I noticed that something appears: Cannot perform this action after on save instance state.

It's weird. Maybe there's a bug or something. I hope it gets fixed soon.

Surveys don't work for me as well. That's fine. I prefer watching ads to earn ink.

Maybe you're right. It's still new after all. I also wonder if we're supposed to get 20 ink per ad. I only get 10 each time I view one.

[FleurRene]

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you can get a higher number of ads per hour. That +20 also has me wondering. I hope they can shed a light on this soon.

[mong2]

10 ads/hour?! Guess I really shouldn't complain about my 60 then. Did you try again within an hour to see if you can still get ads? Because I watched like 10/60 and after like 30 min I checked again and the counter restarted my ads to 0/60 (though this didn't happen consistently).

Yeah it says 20+ ink per ad but I still only get 10 too, so you're not alone on that

[silverraven0]

Still 10/hour. Didn't get to check it after I maxed it before because I don't have time, but its resetting, plus the 'can't click anything except the tab' still happening, and it kinda pissed me off that I have always to delete the data before opening it again so I don't open the app that much often.

[FleurRene]

I kind of can't get ads right now. I'm not sure why. It says looking for ads and then it'll say that there are none available. Restarting the app isn't working anymore. I hope they can fix it soon.

I'm also using android. It could be a bug or something.

@silverraven0 I think it resets every hour. I wish we could get these issues fixed soon. I'm sure it will. Maybe we'll hear from them soon.

For anyone else experiencing issues with mobile ads, please share your experience so that we can learn more about it.

[FleurRene]

A new update has been released. How's it working for you? Do you get ads now? I still can't get ads.

@silverraven0 I'm still not getting ads despite the new update. I'll monitor it to see if anything changes.

For anyone else experiencing unavailability of ads, please share your experience. It means a lot.

[mong2]

I've never had troubles getting ads, although my ad rate has gone down significantly since the update. It went from around 20/day to unlimited (this was before they updated with the survey and demos), to now about 10-15/day.
At least I'm still getting ads though I guess. The surveys on the other hand are annoying to me since every single one tells me I'm not eligible (really a waste of time actually, so not gonna bother with it again).
I don't know about the new update but nothing changed for my phone. Meaning I still get ads (still only 10-15 though, amount didn't increase)

[FleurRene]

I can relate with the need for more ads. 10-15 day is not much.

Wait, so you're not able to maximize the 60 ads per hour limit? Like you only get around 10 ads for the whole day?

As for me, it's still not working. I wonder why. I mean, it worked fine just a few days ago. I'm not sure why all of a sudden I can't get ads. When I open the app, it says looking for videos. Then it'll say no videos available.

I'll keep monitoring it. I hope it starts working again soon.

[mong2]

Er I don't check consistently so not sure, maybe it's more in total. But yeah I haven't been able to reach 60 ads in one sitting yet. I'd get like about 10 or so and then it freezes at "looking for videos", so I usually just close the app and ignore it for the rest of the day .
Today I got like about 6 ads in the morning (I think) and then it just froze at "looking for videos". I just check again now and I'm getting 11 ads. So I guess my total would be more than that if I check hourly, but who really has time to do that? But yeah I haven't reached the max number of ads yet for each hour.

[himenoririn]

Well same here for three months now i had no ads to watchs
i did all the advice .nothing works so
i send a email and they said i just need to be patient taht a lot of people have the same problem and it's because i'm not from US
i will wait a little bit more but i think desinstall the app if i can use that option anymore i don't see the point ....

[FleurRene]

I noticed that after the latest update, we're only getting 30 ads per hour now. I wonder if this was intended.

Has anyone else experienced the same issue? This is going to make earning coins much slower.

[silverraven0]

Yep, it's 30/hour now.

[FleurRene]

That's sad. Well, I hope it's just temporary. Maybe it will go back up sometime in the future.

How's your experience so far?

[silverraven0]

Haven't had the time to farm. XD

[joannekwan]

I think they set that limit so that ads are distributed more evenly so that one or a few people can't watch them all leaving others without anything.

[Shanny8]

Ever since they updated the app and switched to the ink program, I've gotten barely anything. I had one day after the Thanksgiving holiday where I got some ink, but since then the "free ink" section is always barren.
