PerkTV changed today?

[crazymomof4]

I've been successfully running PerkTV on 4 phones for about a month. Today the app keeps coming to a complete STOP at a Ford video commercial. Doesn't move along past the ad like it always did for other ads. You have to click the X to get it to continue. This happens like every minute or two!! I haven't been doing this long enough to know if this is something that *sometimes* happens and then Perk corrects the issue or if it's a permanent change.

Anyone experiencing this too? Any insight?

I follow /r/perktv and apparently it's a notorious ad by Ford that comes and goes. I haven't experienced it myself, but it's one of Perk's ad vendors. It's not broken, it's just a terrible ad by Ford.

People have been complaining about that Ford Ad for a couple of weeks. At first you couldn't even click the X, you had to completely shut down the App and restart it.

I'm not getting it that often - more like once a night around 7pm or so. Hopefully it'll work it's way out of your line-up soon.

OK thanks!
I powered off the phones for now. Not worth having them sit there, frozen on an ad and not earning points.
I guess I'll just check PerkTV every few hours to see if it's still doing it.
