I am also dealing with the problem with the McDonald’s ad. Had it numerous times today and had to quit the game each time
Thank you
I’m on iOS 17.3 and CC Soda Saga v1.261.2
Lately several ads not working, no way to revover as it ends up with black screen with no other option than force shutting the app. Needeless to say, extremely frustrating to lose progress & Rainbow streak over again.
These two ads captured today with the above mentioned behavior:
Thank you, @Pitty_Kitty
I just had the English version of the ad play successfully. It was correctly oriented to the device, and filled the screen properly. It completes with an "X" icon on screen to exit. The company that placed the ad is Benedict LLC. I hope this helps and that the Spanish version is placed by the same company.
This has been happening to me for the past week or so. I’ve lost bonuses as well. Can’t click the x when ad is finished.
I reported that ad 2 weeks ago almost & nothing has changed it freezes & you lose your place .. & boosters
Hello @leerob7 and welcome to Soda community!
We've been informed Game Studio is working on it. this is the latest update available.
As soon as we know the issue has been fixed we'll let you know in this thread:
I'm sorry for the inconvenience
Hello @kamy32 and welcome to Soda community!
Yeah, it’s an ongoing problem and still not fix yet. You can follow the progress about McD ads by checking the the thread below
This is what it does. Then I have to end my game and swipe out of game and log back in.

Unable to click X after watching the McDonald add to get the reward after watching( have lost the cooking hat or a round due to ad not loading for free reward). Is anyone else having this problem? Its just frustrating u can’t watch ad( isn’t centered or something)
McD slogan is “I’m Lovin’ it” 😂😂😂 not so much is it 🙄
the studio knows about the issue and hopefully it will be fixed soon. I know it’s never soon enough.
O e if the ads that McD is running messes up the game. You can’t see a way to x out of it and you end up losing your bonuses because you have to completely leave the game…. Very frustrating
Hello @mratt and welcome to Soda community!
Keeps screwing me out of games. Fix it already.
Hello @SrClark5 and welcome to Soda community!
My game is still freezing during the McDonalds ad. I spend gold bars to save my progress for wonder balls but the McDonalds ad won’t let me go further. I feel like I have wasted so many gold bars on this and I’m extremely frustrated. Help!
You can’t…😐 The studio knows of the problem and trying to fix it. Soon, I hope 🤞🤞🤞
How do I close out video without closing out the game

I'm constantly freezing when I watch ads to get extra moves. It's very frustrating and I'm ready to quit the game
Welcome to the Community @CJSauchuk
I’m sorry to hear this.
When viewing the ads, make sure that you don't close the ad before it ends as it may cause problems like freeze, black screen, etc.
You can also try the standard troubleshooting:
provided you saved your progress with a King account, log out of the game - clear the cache -> not data that will delete your boosters - power off your device for at least 1 minute - restart your device - check for game and device updates - log back into the game. Also make sure you have at least 2GB free memory storage to run the game smoothly and try to connect to a WiFi connection instead of using cellular data.
Clear cache in Android: go to settings - tap on apps - tap on candy crush soda - tap on storage - tap on clear cache (not data❗️)
Clear cache in iOS: go to settings - tap on Safari - tap on Clear history and website data
Hope this helps.
Plss stop all those ads that need to install n free register name RAGNORAK always mk my game crash
Pls Helpppp listen to what i experience from my game so stop those ADS very angry n frustrated
My game keeps crashing after watching those ADS only THANKS N HELPPPP if not going to stop playing lost alot of gold bars n powers thanks
I watch the Ad to the end and it fails ! Especially the water restoration one. Fix your Ads
I’ve had the same issue! You sit thru the videos and then the screen goes black, and the X doesn’t work! 30 minutes later, screen is still black and the X still doesn’t work. So you lose the booster you sat thru the video for, and you have to restart everything, so if you were trying to earn the 5 at the end, to bad, so sad, you just wasted your time. So dang frustrating!!
I paid for this game years ago solely to avoid the ads and now I get ads after every play. What a rip off
I really enjoy playing Soda and I took your survey, but it is not easy to answer w/o giving an explanation. I got irritated because of the ads that didn’t work. After watching the ads that run, then not getting the boost I was watching to get or ad not running, then going to black screen and unable to get out of the black screen and no booster either. VERY AGGRAVATING and time consuming!
It seems like one ad gets fixed and another is screwed up! Now it stupid bubble pop. Waiting to continue a game with 5 more moves, 1st video is fine, second one nope! Watch it all, and the black screen with the non working X, so you loose the boosters and have to start the game all over. But let me click an X 1 second to soon, and I get an “oops!” Bull crap “oopse”!! I quit playing this game several years back for the same reasons and I’m very close to doing it again. Get it together King
Today when trying to get extra moves or boosters, this ad comes up that spreads far across the screen. You can’t exit out of it and have to close the app and reopen it, losing moves, boosters, and any streak you might be on.
having same issue - screen was rotated so that didn’t make a difference
Hello @mjdk60 and welcome to Soda community!
I'm sorry to hear about this. Please also contact King Player Support directly from Soda app and report this so the dedicated team can investigate this.
How to contact King Player Support from Soda app in mobile devices and Windows 10, 11 computers: launch soda app - visit settings- click "?" Icon- visit "technical & connection issues"- "thanks for reaching out"- scroll down and click "contact us". In the form please select "advert issues or reporting" and then "I experienced a bug with an advert." Explain your problem, name the malfunctioning ad and send.
Can’t get past McDonald’s ad. No place to close or collect reward.
Hello @kathywilson and welcome to Soda community!
Hello @siscake921 @mcgulby and welcome to Soda community!
I'm sorry to hear this is happening. Please reach out to Player Support directly from your Soda app so the team dedicated to ads can look into this. You may read the instructions in my post here
I ❤️ McDonald 🤪
McDonald's Ad (Spanish) locks up the game. It can play (10 seconds) it can play repeatedly (10 seconds each time.) When it comes up, it cannot be closed, I cannot return to the game. I cannot get to the support tab to report the problem. I must reboot my phone (iOS 17.3)
Because the ad is positioned off screen in default landscape mode, there is no way to get to the information about the ad vendor. The ad video (small white box) can be played full screen as a pop-out, but has no other controls visible on screen.
thanks for sharing. Please follow the instructions in my comment above to contact Player Support from the app as well.
allot of ads freeze or you can’t click out of them & lose the boosters you already earned
There is a glitch in that particular ads. It has been reported to the studio.
You may want to contact players support from your game app for compensation 😉
The McDonald’s ad in Spanish keeps locking up and I lose my extra spend. This has been going on for a couple days. Why isn’t it fixed?
I returned playing the game after some while, but I've noticed that I can't edit my profile. Not sure why it shows United Kingdom either. I was in Israel when I've installed the game, now I'm in India. It looks like this:
hello….Im wanting to Bake in the bakery,however it always says “Bakery opening soon”……This has been non stop for the past few weeks now…
Whenever I choose to watch ads for a bonus or extra lives etc, the ads have started to freeze. It’s the ad for teaching or education or something. It’s so annoying. I’m losing levels because of it and happened about 6-10 times in the last hour I have been playing. What is causing this?
Hola. Salí del juego, dejando mí sesión como ganador y tomando los regalos del comienzo del día y a los minutos vuelvo a ingresar y al jugar, me doy cuenta que me sacó la racha y sus ventajas. Estoy molesto.
