Were SHIELD intercepts fixed for iOS?

So I'm a non-VIP, F2P iOS (iPhone 6) user.

For months on end intercepts were not working for me. I'd get them probably a handful of times a week and about 80% of the time the video would crash before playing and I wouldn't get the bonus goodies.

Ever since the patch the intercepts have been rolling in.  Amazing to see how the other half lives getting 100 HP, Heroics, 2K Iso, etc. for 30 seconds of "work".  Unbelievable. I don't know if this was an intentional fix by the developers but if so, kudos!  If it really is fixed and not going back to the old ways I have to say I've already gotten more from these intercepts than I can ever hope to get as compensation for update bug!

    They seem to have returned for me as well, after some months of (mostly) getting none at all. Still holding my fingers crossed, though.

    Only about half of my intercepts are working. Sometimes when I push the button to play the video, nothing happens.

    My intercepts are working too but they seem to work more often around midnight pds (server locations) If I play later in the day the intercepts will still crash as usual

    My Intercept frequency has indeed improved on iOS of late.  Of course, like maguirenumber6 said, they still don't work about 50% of the time.  

    Its more frustrating hitting the bug more often, but 50% of some rewards is better than 50% of no rewards, so forward progress!

    iOS was definitely fixed. I had months and months of never even seeing the button (despite usually green-checking most PvE events, so definitely many rounds played). Every now and then clicking the button just drops me back to the sub menu without playing a video, but I get rewards more often than not (for now -- dun dun DUN).

    It was certainly fixed, but still a little hit-or-miss. Here's what I mean:

    when the bug hit, like everyone, I stopped getting any intercepts on my iOS device. I also have an android device and an amazon device, but I clearly stopped playing on the amazon one due to intercept failures. I played on my android, got intercepts like normal (around 10-14 a day if playing a lot). Now, they are back on iOS but in super limited fashion on the iOS AND the android. If I play every node 4 times plus any one-shot nodes and all of DDQ, I maybe get 3-4 intercepts? So.... sure it's fixed, but something is still wrong

    my 28 day 'free' intercepts period ended. they stopped working. bought a pittance. they started working. it's a pay to play feature gents. it'd be nice if they would come out and admit it.
