iAds hard to actually tap?

So is it just me or do you almost have to grind your finger into an ad from iAd to get the darn thing to activate?

*Pulls on the Steve coloured glasses…

I think you mean that iAd is a visceral, deeply tactile, interactive experience.

It’s not just you…

Portrait iAds are fine, but I can barely get landscape ones to open. It takes several attempts to finally get them to activate.

Thanks for the replies. You are 100% correct. In landscape on the test ad and in my live distribution you have to mash that ad 2-3 times forcefully to get them to activate. I thought maybe I had coded something wrong, but couldn’t find any issues.

I’ve found this as well.

I opened a support request with Apple regarding the issue.

Sorry to reply to myself, but is anyone using a plugin for iAd or are you accessing iAd directly inside your obj-C projects? Personally I have tried both with the same results.

I have also tried both… same results as well.

I personally think they should make the landscape iAds about 10 pixels or so taller. I was able to click landscape Admob ads with no problems.

I get that apple wants their ads to not be intrusive, but this just makes the developer loose money.

If I was a user and I clicked on an ad and nothing happened… I would give up and just keep using the app.
