You have to manually fast forward through the ads when using the ITVX and Channel 4 apps. There is no 'skip ads' button for these services. The only way to make them completely ad-free is to sign up to their premium services at additional cost.

Hi @maharaja it's worth noting that's on ITV X and the c4 app it's not "skipping ads" as such what happens is that the fast forward button is enabled allowing you to fast forward them

Is fast forwarding not working for you then on those app?
