 * Hello guys, your plugin really usefull but hide from bots option doesnt work 
   correctly. I readed your documentation about that. You said “its based on known
   user agents” or something like that. And thats mean if you have a specific user
   agent name you cant see the ads. This is what i need because i need hide the 
   ads in my webview apk. I’m changing user agent name and i’m checking on it from
   google analytics real time visitors. My browsers name is true but still i can
   see the ads. Thats why i cant send it up to google play store because of the 
   ads policy. Please fix this i need it so bad. Thanks for help already.
 * PS: if i did a mistake when typing in English sorry about that. Its not my native
   language.

 * Hi kerimapaydin,
 * Thanks for reaching out.
 * If you want to add a specific user agent to your bot list, you can find [here](https://wpadvancedads.com/codex/filter-hooks/#advanced-ads-bots)
   a custom code that you need to add to your `functions.php`.
 * You can also find a tutorial about [how to hide (AdSense) ads in your mobile app or webview app](https://wpadvancedads.com/hide-ads-mobile-app-webview/)
   that is based on Advanced Ads Pro. I think that this matches exactly your use
   case.
 * Best regards,
    Joachim

   I need to know the entries that you added to your `functions.php`.
