Ad Skipper is a free, open-source Android app that allows users to skip video ads without the need to manually click the "Skip Ad" button. The app acts as an Accessibility Service that waits for video ads to appear, mutes the media volume, and clicks the "Skip Ad" button as soon as it appears.

To activate Ad Skipper, users need to open the app and enable it manually. This is because Accessibility Services have elevated permissions on the device and can read and interact with all the device's screens. Once activated, Ad Skipper only acts on the video app's screen.

In case the app suddenly stops working, users can try disabling the battery optimization for the Ad Skipper app in Configuration Settings of the Android System and reactivate the accessibility service. If the issue persists, users can uninstall and reinstall the app and configure it again.

Overall, Ad Skipper is a great app for those who are tired of manually skipping video ads. Its open-source nature and free license make it accessible to everyone.
