ACTIVATION INSTRUCTIONS (VIDEO) Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JG8W83Mc0c4 This video was recorded from a Poco X3 smartphone. Your device may have a slightly different way to activate Accessibility services, depending on the device model and Android version.
ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS If you notice the app has suddenly stopped working, try disabling the battery optimization for Ad Skipper app in Configuration Settings of Android System, and open the Ad Skipper again to reactivate the accessibility service. If the issue persists, please uninstall and reinstall the app, and configure it again. Sorry for the inconvenience, I couldn't yet find a reliable method to restart the app in background when Android randomly kills it.
Open-source, 100% free Android App that skips Video Ads (does NOT block them).
Never worry about clicking "Skip Button" to skip annoying ads again! This app does it for you :)
Ad Skipper does three things when you are watching your videos on YouTube: - Waits for Video Ads to appear; - When Video Ad appears, it mutes the media volume; - If the ad has the "Skip Ad" option after 5 seconds, the app clicks the "Skip Ad" button as soon as it appears and unmutes the media volume.
Ad Skipper acts as an Accessibility Service, so after installing it, you need to open the app and enable it manually, as Accessibility services have elevated permissions on your device and can read and interact with all the device's screen.
However, Ad Skipper only acts on the video app's screen. Feel free to check the source code at https://github.com/alfeugds/adskipper

Works great but it won't skip YouTube short ads.

I like this app, It's really fast to catch adds and mute them if you have that option enabled. Though sometimes you can hear an add for 1 to 2 seconds, but that is rare. It also instantly skips them too but If you have your YouTube video playing, and you exit the app the video may minimize, the add skiper will not be able to skip the add when the YouTube video is minimized.
★★☆☆☆
Good app. But suddenly stopped working every time disabled by own. So every day we need to make it enable... Please provide some good updates even for price is fine
★★☆☆☆
Works well at what it's supposed to do for a little bit. Then its stops working with no warning. When I try to re-enable the app, it doesn't stick the new settings. I find uninstalling and reinstalling fixes it, but that's a pain. 1 star until they fix the bug.
★★☆☆☆
So first when I downloaded it it never works and did not skip the adds ever that's why one star don't recommend downloading
★★☆☆☆
Doesn't work, so what's the point. Single use app that - for me at least - has no use. Digital garbage.
