Hi. I can get interstitials displayed okay, but I find this a bit strange. This is what CreateFullScreenAdvert() does.

"This command will return immediately and display the advert at some point in the future, typically a couple of seconds. You can continue doing other things in your code while the advert is loading, your app will be paused when the advert is displayed, and will resume when the advert is dismissed. If the ad provider is unable to load an advert then this command will do nothing."


It seems to me that this is a bit challenging. I want an interstitial to appear at point x in the code ; what this seems to be saying is that the app will carry on and when it is ready, at some apparently arbitrary point, it will display an interstitial. How have people (if they have) got this to work ? It seems to me that it needs some sort of status function or a WaitInterstitial() so the developer can decide at what point the interstitial is displayed. Is there a defined timeout ?

The experience tends to differ based on whether you go with AdMob or Chartboost. I'm using both providers in various apps...

AdMob loads almost immediately so is not an issue. However, Chartboost tends to be a lot slower. At times 4+ seconds (although on average I'd say about 2-3 seconds). The problem with this is that during these loading times, the application hangs, it does not carry on. This often makes it look like the application has simply crashed (not good)...

It has been requested several times (by me also), if it would be possible to 'Cache/Pre-Load' the advert so that we can display it immediately whenever we like. This is how it works when using the SDK directly, so its a case of AppGameKit (Paul) adding this feature...

Due to the slowness of Chartboost, I am actually considering reverting all my apps back to AdMob (still pondering on the idea ).

You should stick with Chartboost, even if it has bigger delays, though I think this has something to do with the way it has been implemented on Android. iOS works very well.

It pays much, much better than admob.

It is possible to have AdMobs AND Chartboost in the SAME app ? Like i hide Admobs banner before the fullscreen Ads of Chartboost and reactivate just after it ? It is legal ? Cause i found differents answers on Google, and i don't want to finished ban

Thanks in advance.
