BuzzAd 3.25.x / BuzzScreen 4.19.x (Android, December 2022)
🚀 New features
Added BuzzBanner to Feed and the bridge page
BuzzBanner is now available in the BuzzAd SDK's Feed and bridge page to increase inventory revenue while considering the user experience. This non-rewarded banner has demonstrated an approximately 7% increase in ARPU on Buzzvil's lock screen inventory. Add it quickly without changing code.
Added a guide to implementing a Native 2.0 carousel
You can now implement a Native 2.0 carousel, which can increase the ad participation rate to three times that of a standard native placement. BuzzAd carousels support infinite looping and scrolling in both directions to encourage users to view more ads. You can also add an entry point to Feed, the BuzzAd placement with the most ads. Preview the base reward automatically granted on Feed entry to encourage users to open Feed.
Follow Buzzvil's guide to build a carousel that keeps showing ads naturally as users browse.
- Infinite carousel looping.
- A full-slide Feed entry point with a base reward preview.
- A Feed entry point below the CTA button.
- A native carousel that lets users scroll left and right to view ads.

📈 Improvements
Changed Feed filter behavior when tapping the selected category again
Improved the experience by preventing a second tap on the selected ad category filter from canceling the selection and returning to all ads.
Close the personal information consent dialog with the Back button
Users can now press their device's Back button to close the personal information consent dialog shown on their first visit to Feed.
Customize the spacing on either side of the Pop button
You can now set the space between the Pop button and its preview view on the left, as well as the space between the button and the right edge of the screen.
- Hotfix: BuzzAd v2.33.x and v3.9.x and later.
🐛 Bug fixes
- Fixed intermittent crashes when WebView is not integrated. [Hotfix: BuzzAd v3.17.6 and later]
- Fixed the notification bar at the top of the device screen being hidden when opening Pop Feed.
- Fixed a close icon (ExitView) briefly appearing at the bottom center of the screen after tapping the Pop button, before Pop Feed opened. [Hotfix: BuzzAd v2.33.x and v3.9.x and later]
- Excluded ExoPlayerLibraryInfo from obfuscation so ExoPlayer versions can be checked, helping prevent app build errors caused by version conflicts when playing video ads.
- Changed Buzzvil's ad participation inquiry page to the more secure HTTPS protocol.
