Description
SpotMute is light-weight, ad free, permission free*, and open source.
SpotMute mutes the music volume when a Spotify ad is playing, and automagically unmutes afterwards. All you have to do is enable 'Device Broadcast Status' in Spotify settings, and disable ALL battery/memory optimization features on your phone for SpotMute (!).
"Great app. Over eight hundred adds blocked so far and very happy. Only issue was getting my phone settings right to not disable it with power saving but that's not the apps fault. Thanks to everyone involved." - Adam Wollin
An easy way to test that SpotMute actually works is to keep the screen on with SpotMute open, and have the phone charging.
Note that SpotMute is a Spotify ad muter, not blocker.
SpotMute is opens source! github.com/samu-developments/SpotMute
Permissions required: - 'run foreground service' permission is needed to actually mute ads without the app being open. - 'network access' is used to load data from dontkillmyapp.com.

HIGHLY recommend this app, does exactly what it says on the tin. Recently, the only complaint I have is that sometimes instead of muting the ad it pauses it, which takes me a hot second to notice because of how many ads spotify chains together nowadays. It's only on very specific ads and ive gotten the problem mostly managed by HIGHLY discouraging spotify from showing me those ads. Other than that, I can't imagine even opening Spotify without opening Spot Mute with it :)
★★★★★
It works pretty well, just the od ad that slips by when my phone screen is off, As soon as I turn my phone back on it mutes the ad but other than that it's a lot better than listening to every ad.
★★☆☆☆
It does not mute all the ads, sometimes it only reacts when u turn the scren bck on. Not recommended
★★☆☆☆
While it does mute ads, it also mutes my music
★★☆☆☆
It says enable Broadcast in settings and there is nothing that says that I just had to delete app I can't use it anything it says is in settings
★★☆☆☆
Does not work properly after enable device broadcast in Spotify and can't stop any ads. Delete this app from Play Store.
