Answer 1

The quick and easy fix is to have the shouldDisplayLoadingViewForMoreApps delegate method return false.

However the right way to do it is to always cache interstitials (cacheInterstitial) & the more apps page (cacheMoreApps) before displaying them. This way the SDK will preload all assets and there will be no loading time at all.
