As you will see in the video, some apps or games have a fee for not showing ads on their apps, but even after paying you still get bombarded with unskippable ads every few seconds. Some of those ads will even force-install the apps they advertise, redirect you to Play Store or a website when you try to close them, not have an option to close them at all (and have to force-close the app) or even freeze your entire phone.
In this article (and video) we demonstrate a free tool (Android app) on how to get rid of these interruptions so you can have a more pleasant experience in the apps.
Disclaimer:
- I recommend using this tool if you’ve already supported the developers of an app or game but you’re still seeing ads.
- This tool is great for highly intrusive pop up ads that cause instability in the app or phone, or if you have privacy concerns
- Some developers only use ads as their revenue, so they can keep providing a fully featured app for free, so please use this sparingly on select apps.
- Make sure to check the Bypass function in this article to allow ads / normal user experience in your other apps.
Steps
- Install the free Blokada 5S app on your Android device.
- Tap the Power button to Activate from the Home tab.
- In the Advanced tab (the box icon), tap on Apps.
- Tap on the apps you want to "bypass", so you can keep this effect running only on the apps you need.
- If some apps don't work after activating Blokada, then use the above setting to bypass them.
- You may have to close the apps and reopen them after activating Blokada in order for the blocking of ads to work.
