In regards to what was being tested and fixed from my previous message: > [@Interstitial ads only showing once per session \[Nov 2022\]](https://community.thunkable.com/t/interstitial-ads-only-showing-once-per-session-nov-2022/2125548/39): > > @enzka007 A fix is still in testing as of earlier today. The engineering team had been testing an AdMob upgrade–there was something in that upgrade that was causing the Thunkable Live app to crash when interstitial test ads were being called. Instead of just letting the App crash, they added in some error handling that kept the Live app from crashing and would instead display whatever error message was being presented. **I absolutely should have communicated better what was going on here and what we found.** But, in the cases being presented here, there is no error. The ad is showing the first time but not a second. So there is no issue with how the blocks in Thunkable are working. As I had mentioned in another thread: > [@Interstetial bug](https://community.thunkable.com/t/interstetial-bug/2177949/2): > > Hi @enzka007, I’ve been working on this issue myself with my own published app-- that is taking some time on my end and I do apologize. Because Admob is a third party integration, we also have to investigate if the issue lies with that third party. At this point, there is a likelihood that there is no bug on our end. The reason there is only one interstitial ad being shown could be due a multitude of factors, all beyond our control as a platform. Keep in mind that there is no guarantee of an a… The reason you are not seeing an ad each time the interstitial is called is likely due to implementation factors involving your app and the engagement from users on that app. - How long you have been using AdMob - How many downloads your app has - How many requests for an interstitial there are in your app. - How many impressions you are getting on your app and what the match rate % is. Again, I apologize for the lack of communication on this. I’ve had to do a lot of discovery on my own in working on this issue. I am happy to discuss this further if you like and share more guidance on best practices involving AdMob. For the time being, we do have a nice troubleshooting guide that was posted in our Community a while back and the guidance here still holds true. > [@AdMob Troubleshooting](https://community.thunkable.com/t/admob-troubleshooting/74430): > > AdMob was [launched for Thunkable ✕](http://community.thunkable.com/t/admob-now-available-on-thunkable-2019-03-12/72116) in March, 2019. It’s a component that comes with great power as well as great responsibility so here are some quick pointers when you’re getting started with AdMob in Thunkable ✕. Setting Up Your Account (Be Patient #1) Typically your AdMob account will be active in 1 - 2 days, however it might take up to 3 - 5 days for your account to be activated. When you’re getting started it’s important to be patient. Use this time to refine the design and functionality … --- _[View the full topic](https://community.thunkable.com/t/interstitial-ads-only-showing-once-per-session-nov-2022/2125548)._
