2024-09-23	E *****	Open Source, Ad-free, Cost-free - I wanted to love this one but unfortunately its core functionality is LACKING A SIGNIFICANT FEATURE, WHICH MAKES MUTIFY THE SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER OPTION: Both are simple tools for muting Spotify ads... Both inform that ads played after changing a track through Spotify cannot be muted... yet this app stops there whereas Mutify offers a solution for that as well - in-app media controls for changing tracks (frequent basic use case) while retaining ads auto-muting.

2024-02-10	Se*****	Works well, the muting does take a bit of time to work, and it is annoying that you have to turn it on instead of it being in the background, but otherwise works well. The only ring is that it feels a little bit pointless, would I rather have silence or annoying talking? Still works though.

2023-12-21	To*****	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 opeing SpotMute with it :)

2023-06-06	Fe*****	Some ads are still playing with title "SPOTIFY" or even video ads promoting non-Spotify products, though it sometimes work as expected, so I'm not sure what's happening there. (And yes I've already added it to power saving exclusion). It can be better if I can specify a custom list of titles that I can add myself

2023-05-07	is*****	I've been using it for a while now and it has made it a lot easier to listen to Spotify. It's not perfect, like sometimes it doesn't mute an ad or it mutes a song an stuff but I'll take it any day over constantly listening to the loud and obnoxious ads :)

2023-03-14	Mu*****	Does exactly what it says, and does it well. Simple flip of a switch for the first time setup and basic battery optimisation setup to change. A persistent notification exists showing if the app is functioning, but it isn't bothersome and has quick buttons to engage/disengage muting. The default time lags before and after ads setup by the dev are working well for me, but these can be customised too. There is a quick tile available too. Appreciate the functionality and simplicity :)

2022-12-01	Be*****	Sometimes has a bit of trouble picking up that spot is running on startup so it needs to be 'watching' to mute ads, but once it's picked up, this app works fantastically. Just switch your 'opening the apps' order if the first ads fail to mute. Spotify is straight up obnoxious with their ads so, Thank you for making a terrible experience a passible enjoyable one. Turning moments of rage, frustration, and swearing into quiet moments of contemplation is a thing of beauty.

2022-07-17	De*****	Haven't had the most experience with it, but the process to setup was a bit cumbersome and the app manually needs to be started up everytime you want to listen to spotify for that adless experience which is a bit annoying, i do like the launch spotify upon startup option though. Overall a good application, would increase the ratings later with more experience. Edit:- with the android 12 update on my new phone this app doesnt work properly.

2022-01-08	Su*****	It's an amazing app for those who don't want to use their money for Spotify premium. I was wishing it skippes the ads but it doesn't, instead, it mutes it so you don't have to listen to unnecessary Spotify ads. (I don't think there is a legal way to skip ads) This app is amazing. I love it and that's why I've rated it a 5-star (I also don't think it is compatible with older devices)
