User Reviews

Ad-silence helps users mute Spotify ads effectively, improving music listening without internet permission. It's lightweight and praised for blocking ads, reducing the need for paid subscriptions. However, multiple users report delayed muting, screen-on requirement, and occasional interruptions to Spotify playback. Casting support is limited, and some encountered sound issues requiring restarts. Overall, it works well but has stability and compatibility problems that need addressing.

Pros

Effectively mutes ads on Spotify leading to uninterrupted music listening.
Lightweight app that runs smoothly in the background without affecting phone performance.
Enjoyed by users who want to avoid paying for Spotify Premium due to ad blocking.
Requires no internet permission, enhancing privacy.
Increases user listening time and improves user experience overall.

Cons

Delayed activation causing ads to play briefly before muting.
App sometimes only works when the screen is on, failing to mute ads while screen is off.
Issues with the app causing Spotify to pause or stop songs prematurely.
App may not work properly when casting Spotify to external devices due to separate volume controls.
Some users experienced the app muting music or disabling sound improperly, requiring device restart.

Recent reviews

Did all the research on how to fill fields for custom app but Ad-silence still doesn't work for custom apps! I want to mute the annoying interruptions of some ad sounds during game-play but although I have tried to configure it to mute ads on JustPlay, it doesn't work. The instructions on how to configure only made sense until entering key-words since JustPlay does not produce any notifs when about to intercept w/ ads, they simply interrupt without warning.

It actually works on spotify BUT, it requires access to all notifications including messages and sensitive data. I would say noone sane should use it, principially.
