## Description

Tired of waiting through ads? Skip Ads watches for &quot;Skip Ad&quot; and close buttons in the apps you choose and taps them the moment they appear — but only while an ad is actually on screen — so you get back to what you were doing.<br><br>Comes preconfigured for YouTube on first launch. Add any app on your device in seconds.<br><br>Key features<br><br>• Auto-skip in apps you choose — opt in per app; it never runs anywhere you haven&#39;t enabled it<br>• Automatic detection — recognizes common &quot;Skip&quot;, &quot;Next&quot; and &quot;Close&quot; buttons out of the box, no setup required<br>• Acts only during ads — confirms an ad is on screen before tapping, so it won&#39;t press the wrong button<br>• Custom keywords — add your own button text in any language (e.g. &quot;Skip Ad&quot;, &quot;Weiter&quot;, &quot;Saltar&quot;) for apps with unusual labels<br>• Full-screen ad coverage — dismisses interstitial ads, not just in-video skip buttons<br>• One-tap pause — turn skipping off temporarily without losing your per-app settings<br>• Lightweight &amp; private — runs quietly in the background and only reacts to the apps you&#39;ve enabled<br><br>Permissions<br><br>Skip Ads uses Android&#39;s Accessibility Service solely to find and tap skip/close buttons in the apps you&#39;ve opted into. No personal data is collected, stored, or sent anywhere — everything stays on your device. You can pause or turn it off at any time.<br><br>Requires Android 9 or later.<br><br>Enjoy your apps with fewer interruptions.
