PvZ 2 Crash on flower load screen

Oh yeah.  I forgot to reply to the original issue...

I've been having the same problem for months now.  It's super irritating.  I believe it has to do with the ad servers.  Mine also crashes a lot when ads pop up between rounds.  Here's some stuff that helps (they don't fix the problem, but they help you get in the game). When the game freezes:

Pull up the Recent Items menu and swipe the game away.  Wait 15 seconds and try again.

Let it sit there until it crashes.  Pull up the Recent Items menu and swipe the game away.  Wait 15 seconds and try again.

Pull up the Recent Items menu and swipe the game away.  Restart your device.

Pull up the Recent Items menu and swipe the game away. Turn off your internet connection.  Wait 15 seconds, turn it back on again.  Try playing.

Turn off your local internet devices: modem, wireless router, etc.  Wait 15 seconds...etc.

Some days I just can't get the game going at all.  It seemed to get better with the last update, but now it's back happening again.
