## Review summary

Users find AdSkipper to be a simple and practical app that helps skip ads without needing extra permissions. It works well when combined with tools like Adguard DNS. However, the app suffers from inconsistent ad skipping performance, sometimes only muting ads instead of skipping them entirely. It often fails to function correctly on various devices and lacks useful features such as a whitelist. Additionally, some users have concerns about data privacy and the app's permissions.

### Pros

- Does not require additional permissions for ad skipping functionality.
- Simple and practical improvement in ad-heavy environments.
- Compatible with Adguard DNS and other ad blockers for enhanced performance.
- App praised as a 'life saver' by some users.

### Cons

- Inconsistent performance, often skipping only a portion (around 10-70%) of ads.
- Does not work properly on some devices, sometimes failing to start until ads are almost over.
- Some users report that it only mutes ads rather than skipping them.
- Concerns about data collection and app permissions not appearing as expected.
- No whitelist feature to exclude certain apps or content from ad skipping.
