AdBlock Pro: Browser AdBlocker for Negative User Reviews
✓ Not working at allI read the same on the reviews and there was also an answer from the developer what to enable in Safari but still not working...Version: 10.2.8
✓ It doesn’t seem to block anythingIt doesn’t seem to block anything, as I get ENDLESS ads; newsletter, subscribe, join-us, auto-video pop-ups…. It doesn’t work on Safari, Pinterest, YouTube…. It can’t get rid of the annoying ‘accept cookies’ messages either. This is useless to me..Version: 10.4.2
✓ Worked great... Until recentlyEverything worked really nice and it generally still does, but the main reason I got it was for YouTube ads, but has no longer been blocking them recently. I'll update my review for 5 stars if they fix it.Version: 9.0.1
✓ Breaks a lot of sitesNow looking for alternates. For several months this ad block has broken a multitude of sites including the google account switcher / login page. No more. Uninstalling..Version: 10.4.1
✓ Anti AdblockLatest update broke anti Adblock Adblock Admiral shows up again and cannot seem to get rid of..Version: 10.0.3
✓ ScamThis app does not work on iPhone 12. I paid for an annual fee of £9.99 only worked for one month and stopped recognising my subscription. Reported this to the support team and all I got was a generic message which wasn’t helpful at all. Read the terms and conditions carefully before purchasing any subscription..Version: 10.3.0
✓ Disappointing with poor JavaScript blockingSo far this app has been a disappointment websites are still running JavaScript to complain about add blocking even though I select the JavaScript blocking option on the software package I have several free options that work better than this. Turns out JavaScript blocking does work but there’s a bug if you enable the option to hide the ad blocking feature from websites. Once that options enabled are software fails to walk JavaScript..Version: 9.0.1
✓ It’s alright.This is the best ad blocker I’ve used so far on iPadOS/iOS; however, it’s still not great. I mean it blocks most ads and does a pretty decent job, but I don’t think it’s worth subscribing to unless you’re okay with redirect ads built into video players to still appear. It’s done a good job at blocking just about every ad except for those built into video players which is really the main reason why I wanted an adblocker in the first place. For most people I’d say this is great, but for those who watch anime on streaming sites you may notice that the ads from clicking on the video/media player on several sites will still redirect you to other websites at first..Version: 10.0.8
✓ Does not Block addsWas fine for ages. But recently simply stopped working. All settings are what they should be and have never been changed. My guess is that it’s just a way they try to persuade you to get the premium version.Version: 9.0.1
✓ Stopped working LOLOk so for some months it was completely fine, nothing wrong. Then just suddenly it stopped working, ads popped up again. Everything was the same, just now stopped. Ok thats it lol.Version: 9.0.1
✓ Issue for Minors under parental controlsI am *9 going on 10* in February, 9th and my mom put on parental controls for me. I got this app and I follow the instructions. Once I get to the part where I enable you guys, the boxes are grayed out and until I’m 17, this will apply. There is no way to take it off and/or change my age. Every one else who isn’t under parental controls in my family can use this. *Pun intended from “The sound of music” the part ‘You are 16 going on seventeen and...’* it’s an awesome but kinda old catholic movie it’s awesome I watched it with My Sisters and a few of my brothers and parents. they wrote some reviews under my name so yeah 😀.Version: 8.1.3
✓ Not workingIt was working up until a little while ago. I tried turning it on and off and I don’t know what to do anymore..Version: 10.8.2
✓ Worked well for about a weekWorked well for about a week then stopped working at all.Version: 10.8.2
✓ Was good until...Was working blocking you tube ads and then just stopped. Emailed the developer and was advised since a you tube update this has stopped the app from working and are trying to fix it. Well it’s been over a month, maybe even 6 weeks and still no fix or update? Come on guys, get it together you can’t charge of claim to sell something that the app is not designed to do. If no fix soon will be making complaint for refund or take this app down...Version: 9.0.1
✓ Only worked for a weekWorked fine but now I’m getting YouTube ads again….Version: 9.0.1
✓ Why has it stopped working?It was going great. And suddenly ads started popping up again. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Tried deleting cookies. But it’s not working!! Please help!.Version: 9.0.1
✓ New pop upI’ve noticed a lot of websites are starting to have a very annoying pop up that you can’t get rid of. And the Adblock app doesn’t recognize it. It’s a small black bar that just says “online radio” with only a stop and play button. I have no idea what music it plays or from where but it is just usually inconveniently right in the middle of the screen. Quite and eyesore and in the way. It would be great for the app to get an update so it knows about this permanent pop up and block it so it goes away..Version: 10.3.3
✓ No longer worksHasnt worked for the past 5-6 days.Version: 10.3.2
✓ Dosent always workGot a free version but ads still pop up..Version: 10.1.9
✓ Needs to be clearer that this is subscription appDownloaded, adjusted my settings and was guided through the welcome screens. Only at that point does it become clear this is a paid for /subscription app. Which is absolutely fine, but it’s trying to go through this process over and over to find out what an app is going to cost..Version: 10.2.7
✓ Not fit for purposeDid a trial for a few days and the app worked perfectly and blocked all my adds. Then had the auto subscription, which was about $9 for the year. Several days later I am getting unwanted ads again on my browser. Not that happy after spending money for an ad blocker that doesn’t work. Hopefully I can get in touch with app developers and have the situation rectified. * I never leave bad reviews.Version: 9.1.2
✓ Works great, but doesn’t always recognize allowlistI’ve had a mostly great experience, but I have had a recurring issue with certain URL’s (known, safe ones that are on my allowlist) refusing to load due to a content blocker error. This happens even if I toggle off the extension in Safari. This is extremely inconvenient, as i have to switch to another browser and log back in to the same site. Make the allow list more effective, and actually turn off the extension when it’s toggled off!.Version: 10.1.0
✓ Does not work on YouTube ads.Did not work at all..Version: 10.0.1
✓ Face first in the problem but still missesFrom what I understand this app is to BLOCK pop ups and redirects. It blocks just as good as air. I get pulled from a website I’m on and I have to constantly close the new website I got pulled to only for it to happen again. I’ve made sure it’s on and has been updated. I’ve even made sure my devices have the latest software update available. The issues keep happening and I’m getting more and more frustrated. It’s gotten to the point that I’ll have several (3-9) random tabs that open and I have to keep closing!!! Some have the message that it’s been blocked but most of the time I can see what the website is. I wish I can add the url of the websites to make sure the blocker BLOCKS it from popping up and pulling me away from the site I was on..Version: 10.3.1
✓ Doesn’t block YouTube adsDoesn’t block YouTube ads.Version: 8.0.1
✓ Doesn't workDon't waste your money this doesn't work.Version: 2.4
✓ Isn’t compatible with TwitterA few months ago Adblock and Safari became incompatible for multiple websites, primarily Twitter, or now “X”. I continually have to click the “turn off content blockers” option in order to access various websites. I have to do this multiple times a day, and it’s become too annoying to use. It has got to the point where I have to switch from Safari to Chrome just to view a certain websites. I’m not sure what happened but I haven’t seen Adblock do anything to resolve the problem. I may just have to go back to Chrome as my primary web browser..Version: 10.3.2
✓ It doesn't workIm seeing all the ads on my youtube. This doesn't work!.Version: 10.8.9
✓ Won’t let me make or receive phone callsI got this app a couple of weeks ago and at first it worked great for blocking ads but then my family and started to notice that I couldn’t make phone calls or receive them, so we started to look around in my settings, couldn’t find the problem. So deleted the app and right after I deleted it; I could start making and receiving phone calls. I don’t know why the app was blocking my calls but this seems like a major coding problem..Version: 10.3.1
✓ I’m getting chargedI’m getting charged for something I didn’t sign up for!!! Thief’s.Version: 10.6.1
✓ Too many problems - have deleted this appUpdate to original review - I was unable to whitelist sites which meant some would not open. Others behaved strangely and had to be closed and reopened. When I tried to open the app to customise the settings it continually jumped in to a set-up video even though the app was already running. I have now removed this app from my iPad. Would not recommend. Original review - So far the app works well at removing adds. I often have to zoom into text on websites to read it and the ads then cover what I am trying to see. With this blocker I don’t have this problem. I don’t rate it as 5* as I cannot get the whitelisting to work. I wanted to allow ads for local newspapers to support them. The app seems to be working when I change the whitelist settings and save them but the ads still don’t come back..Version: 5.3
✓ Unable to access Wordle on NY TimesI loaded the app yesterday and loved it initially. However I couldn’t access Wordle on the NY Times website and couldn’t work out how to exclude this site, so I’ve deleted the app..Version: 10.3.1
✓ Does not work on iPad OS 14.6I followed all instructions, change setting, restart Safari on my 11” 2018 iPad Pro. It does not work whatsoever. 3 stars for its good UI and clear welcoming instructions.Version: 9.0.1
✓ Doesn’t WorkDon’t bother purchasing this app, if you have an iPhone you’re not going to get pop-ups and ways. The only place that I can think of where you would get pop-ups is by going to a website that allows you to stream movies and TV shows. It’s no different than using a fire stick. So even if you’re paying $10 a month can you stream on these websites, and you will still get a pop-up ad in a new tab at every single click. When you click the main menu, when you click the search bar, when you click the movie, when you press play on the movie, when you select the new episode of a TV show, and your phone will be filled with hundreds of tabs with ads that cannot be blocked. So in other words, this app cannot block ads. I understand the websites of Ida stream movies for free however that doesn’t change the fact that this is an ad blocking app. For whatever reason this website to out figure a way to bypass the ad blockers..Version: 10.2.4
✓ MehWorked well for the first time but stopped working.Version: 9.0.1
✓ Bait and switch . . . J U S T doesn't workI took a video and screenshots to document the bait and switch it advertised $696 and some cents and it said a free trial for a week and then I went on I hit the key to look further and it was just like you agreed no I didn't agree. Period ! so what I think it was about to happen I stopped it I wish it would've build me the more expensive price and I might've forgotten to cancel the seven day trial and boom that's how they swindle you out of money program aren't you corporations you can't keep doing this nickel and diming us with nuisance fees Dear Ad Block! Thank you for your polite and thoughtful reply. I more committed than Ever to Open Source software now than ever. It's tempting to brush aside my disappointment and temptation to make life easier and paying the cruel little subscription fee the gets sliced up with the bigger kids on block, join us in delopment. Andjoin us in the it of things. Bye.Version: 10.3.2
✓ AdsI have paid to have ads blocked but they are coming on why.Version: 10.3.0
✓ RIP-OFFI paid for adblock pro on my iphone… only to find they rip you off by not making it available on my account-linked iPad. Its just a con for your money, and… by the way, it doesnt even work!!! Do yourself a favour and install Firefox Focus, then enable it as a content blocker in Safari settings. It works as well as this rip-off app and doesn’t cost anything..Version: 9.0.1
✓ Just AwfulHas absolutely no impact on ads on you tube videos at all, in any way shape or form. Very very disappointed with this.Version: 10.4.1
✓ 没用没用.Version: 7.9
✓ PAY WALL TRAP!They use to be free and made money by selling your data to corporate despots around the world. But like all apple apps, they eventually get greedy and start charging to sell your data to corporate despots around the world..Version: 9.0.1
✓ Didn’t block adsDid advertise a premium, but didn’t block the ads like it advertises..Version: 10.8.2
✓ Pop upDid not block the pop up I get from this website.Version: 10.2.7
✓ Total rip offI inadvertently paid 6.99$ for 1 week and app is crap. When I try to check services offered it automatically directs me to extend subscription. On top of that the ads keep coming. Perhaps the only reason I hate apple/store,.Version: 10.3.2
✓ It’s not even workingIt’s on but it’s not even doing anything how am I supposed to watch bsd wan in peace.Version: 10.3.3
✓ Not a free appI don’t mind paying for apps, been doing it since they first appeared & have spent a few thousand on apps over the years, but this isn’t a free app. Almost all the features they advertise are only available after a subscription. Just be honest & advertise the app honestly..Version: 10.2.4
✓ Does not workGarbage.Version: 7.1
✓ Ads not being stoppedWas working great now doesn’t block anything.Version: 9.0.1
✓ Barely worksStill get ads on safari.Version: 10.8.7
✓ Still getting Ads on AppsThank you for this app. It’s so much nicer without the constant distractions. Sadly, Still getting Ads! Worked before, but after updating ads started showing up! Tried to click on contact support, to report a websites where ads still show, but could not send! Same thing happened when trying to click on fixing bugs link. Really liked the app until this occurred. Hopefully it can be fixed. Thank you again..Version: 7.5
✓ Doesnt workStopped working.Version: 9.0.2
✓ Doesn’t block youtube adsIt used to work well and blocked youtube ads on safari, but not anymore. Now you have sit through 2 ads before every youtube video and 1 more at the end..Version: 9.0.1
✓ Fiddle.This app has been blocking something which means I cannot comment on one of my favourite sites which has advertisements. Attempting to set up a way to allow the advertising didn’t actually work using the instructions provided. The developer sent a response with what appear to be additional steps. I will retry and see if that helps..Version: 10.3.2
✓ It does not do what it saysIt does not block ads.Version: 10.6.1
✓ Didn’t workDidn’t block YouTube ads..Version: 9.0.1
✓ Not as good as it was- Some sites are able to detect it and ask for it to be removed before assessing the website. - Some pages take longer to load and won’t open at all unless the Adblock is removed. It was a very good app back then, but I’m not sure I’m gonna renew the subscription given the recent updates..Version: 10.8.8
✓ Not too greatYou basically have to pay for all of the features of the app. I was expecting more to be accessible. I’ve experienced much better ad blocker apps. Recommendation is AdGuard as it also blocks most popups and they even have a free vpn. Overall I don’t suggest this but if you’re looking for something simple to block a few ads such as ones on the sides of articles, etc, then this would work. There are definitely still some issues with the ads loading. tldr not really worth it unless you want something simple to only block specific ads, don’t buy the subscription, there are better apps for this out there..Version: 10.1.0
✓ Data hogI was down to slow speed on my data, downloaded this app, hoping it would improve by getting rid of the ads. It turned out to be a data hog. I used to be able to at least watch, shows and movies on slow speed, but putting this app on my phone made it impossible to watch any programs on my TV I did not enjoy the experience as even surf in the slow because of this app and downloaded.Version: 10.3.2
✓ Marche moyennement bienJe pense que cette application est pas valable du temps que sa prend pour installer je ne vois pas la différence de publicité entre YouTube normal et ça mais j’ai peut-être tort je vais bientôt le découvrir je pense 🤔.Version: 10.3.2
✓ I bought it got my IPad and iPhone and they downloaded for MacDo not waste your time and money they do not even understand plain English. The One for Mac works, so I bought for my Ipad and IPhone and they told me to update to 6.3 when the Ipad is above 13. Waste of time and money..Version: 7.0
✓ Doesn’t work, no customer serviceI’m only giving this a stars, because it doesn’t work. I’m still getting a ton of ads when I access Facebook through Safari on my iPad. I use Facebook for business and I don’t have time to look at all their ads. I’ve reached out to customer service three or four times now and all they send me is a rote template telling me to read the instructions. Which I’ve done. If they decide to respond to my problem I’ll be happy to come back here and update the review especiallyIf it starts working. Still not working after update, etc. weeks later.... still not working 💥💥💥💥💥💥.Version: 10.2.1
✓ ScamWorks as long as you pay for it and don't dare use any of the paid functions. Then it breaks, and breaks the websites you try to use as well. Attempting to read a web novel and i get a huge grey box every other sentence (which originally wouldn't exist as the site may have a number of ads, but not that many) with the next chapter button not working. Don't even think about customer support because any attempts to contact sink like a stone..Version: 10.8.1
✓ No goodSo far, it is useless and stops absolutely no ads whatsoever..Version: 10.3.2
✓ Sort of blocksReally app just diplays black or white screen and waits till advert finishes playing and sometimes also still makes you select a skip add 🤣 In sort doesn’t block the add just doesn’t display the add, you still have to wait for add to end.Version: 10.2.4
✓ This is fraudThanks for getting back to me !.Version: 10.6.1
✓ Not working on YouTubeUsed to work on YouTube but unfortunately not anymore. Used to be one of my favourites but not anymore..Version: 9.0.1
✓ Doesn’t work with YouTubeWhile others do work with blocking in-video YouTube ads, this does not. At all. It’s almost like it wasn’t installed. And yes, I enabled all the extensions.No, I’m not using this in the YouTube app. I’m using this in Safari or I wouldn’t have said extensions..Version: 10.3.2
✓ No longer worksI’ve had this app for a year. At first it blocked EVERYTHING on YT for about 6 months. Then after that it started to refresh if there was an ad. Then it went to it will be a blank white screen with “can skip ad in_.” Now today (5/6/21) ALL ads show. I thought I was tripping and maybe accidentally deleted the app, so I went to the App Store to download another adblocker and nope not deleted it’s still installed. So don’t waste your time downloading this, eventually it will just be taking up space on your phone for nothing.Version: 9.0.1
✓ Does not even work.First when you download the app it ask you to go in you setting and activate the app but none of the setting allow you to activate the app so if your on iPhone don’t bother. Besides reading through other reviews says that even when on it still won’t work. at first I thought they were haters but here we are right now. And besides most good review sound more like bots because of how perfect they claim it is and with very vague details of how it even helped. It’s basically (This is a quote) “This app is amazing! The app helped with my adds” so in my personal opinion don’t download and there is also a mandatory subscription for the app anyway when on a laptop add blockers are free..Version: 10.3.1
✓ Not workingA block is not working for me. The ab says it’s working but I’m still being blasted with advertisements. Not a happy camper. I’ve reached out for support followed the instructions given to me but nothing works. Very unsatisfied.Version: 10.4.1
✓ UselessIf this is an add blocker pro, I hate to think what add blocker amateur is like. Does not block pop ups, banners, or any other google crap on any browser used on Apple devices running ios15. Firefox, Focus, DuckDuck, and Safari are blitzed with garbage from the criminals at google. This app is a total scam.Version: 10.0.3
✓ Ads still open in backgroundThe ads still open new tabs in background. When I’m done with reading a page, and exit my tab, there are dozens of new tabs open to web pages of objectionable content, and always spam sites. I also don’t like how I’m forced to use Safari when I hate that browser; I’ve been on Chrome or DuckDuckGo browsers for years and don’t like Safari. This blocker blocks a lot of the annoying ads on websites I use (mostly manga sites with annoying popups), but it’s not 100%. Id hate to hand my phone over to someone for them to find all the ads/pages opened up to websites I never intended to visit..Version: 10.2.6
✓ About to removeGetting sick of this app. The whitelist button doesn’t appear on all pages (nothing shown and no way to turn it on) and have to go into settings and turn off all the options to get to sites..Version: 6.4
✓ Absolutely useless!I signed up for a week’s free trial. At £6.49 PER WEEK, i was expecting the previous version which was free or optional payment which I did. This subscription did not make one blind bit of difference! Still saw infuriating adverts across various websites. And yes, I did follow instructions with regard to settings etc. suspended subscription as a consequence..Version: 10.1.0
✓ Needs more workWithout a whitelist option in the sharesheet this app is is going to waste a lot of your time manually typing in domains etc. Pretty basic requirement for an ad blocker to be able to easily disable for certain sites..Version: 6.2
✓ Wasted my moneyI purchased the subscription, enabled the extensions on the settings app. followed all instructions to a T. I have even updated the app. Still, I get pop ups from safari when i try to watch anime. What a waste of money.Version: 10.3.3
✓ Needs fixingFor some reason when I enabled everything that the app said to do it still dosen’t work :(.Version: 9.1.2
✓ Confusing Language Regarding SubscriptionI don’t usually have trouble understanding what I’m reading (I’m a retired English professor), but AdBlock Pro’s “terms of service” and download instructions left me asking myself, “Had I downloaded the free version of the app or had I mistakenly downloaded a “trial” of the paid version of the app?” (I was instructed to turn on ALL of the extension options—far more options than I guessed were included in the free version of the Ad/Pop-up Blocker that I had chosen.) I believe that the confusion lies in the developer’s naming of the free versus the paid subscription versions of the app. Why name the free version “Pro,” a term that usually indicates an upgraded version of a product? “Pro Premium” (the paid version) is not only redundant but over-the-top. Am I the only one who’s wondered which version’s been downloaded?.Version: 10.1.1
✓ Doesn’t work anymore!!!Doesn’t block Youtube ads. Worked last week but stopped this week. Pls let us know if you’re going to fix this issue. Thx..Version: 9.0.1
✓ My father was a fisherSince I was a boy I have loved fishing. I love catching fish. I own many fishing rods, I love taking worms from the earth and casting them into the sea with my rod. In the year 1956 I went to my fathers cabin during the summer, when I was there I saw a big fish and as I chased my rod out to sea I wondered what the fish was thinging the fish drew closer to my bait. As he lurked in the dark depths of the lake circling around my baited hook I leered from above the. Water. The big burley bass wrapped it’s mouth around my my hook, sinking it’s teeths into the fat juicy worm I had attached to my hoook. I can only imagine the delight the fish felt as it slurped its big fishy lips around my delicious work. Little to the knolage of the fish the.Version: 10.5.2
✓ Good app but has a issueDear Developer I am really enjoying your app but have noticed a big issue with it. When going to watch videos on say Gamespot it doesn't load them to play it just keeps spinning around trying to play but failing to. I have reinstalled the app and it still has the issue playing generic demo videos. Could you please fix this issue?.Version: 6.3
✓ AdBlock ProStill getting the same annoying adds. Hasn’t made a difference..Version: 10.5.3
✓ Not working on YouTube anymoreThis has stopped working on YouTube on my iPad. I’m using Safari, everything is updated..Version: 9.0.1
✓ Premium is broken, takes money without enabling featuresDev replies eons after review LOL. No dev, I am not stupid, the app on iOS and macOS was epically broken and never completed the sub process after taking the money. Not an issue of enabling anything, or restarting, app didn’t acknowledge the subscription existed so there were NO PREM FEATURES TO ENABLE no matter what I did and the issue persisted for more than a week before I finally gave up. I ended up just losing the money and went with a competitor that actually works. Now been several months with AdGuard with ZERO problems. If you want ad blocking that works, go with AdGuard. . Prev review Let’s you subscribe but the process never completes on iOS or macOS so the premium features never enable. Garbage app just hangs after you pay..Version: 10.3.2
✓ No longer workingRandomly stopped working like 1 week ago. Now I get constant redirects. Super frustrating. I want to try updating to the premium but I’m nervous that that won’t fix the problem and I’ll just be throwing my money away. I’ve tried restarting my device. Uninstalling and reinstalling the app, fidgeting with in app settings (as much as it’ll let me) and safari settings and still absolutely no changes. Redirects happening still. The weirdest part is the app was supposedly updated 2 months ago. Pretty sure my iPad hasn’t done an update in the last week either so really don’t understand who it just no longer works..Version: 10.3.1
✓ Only good for utubeI had a different blocker and it worked great This however was cheaper and it looked the same I was mistaken This is cheaper Not as good For utube it works miner49er I wish I stuck with the other Ither way Not all that great Invest in a actual blocker The other i used It was automatic Ya didn’t need to load it each time it was automatic.Version: 10.5.4
✓ Worked for the first add I gotIOriginally downloaded this so I can peacefully watch anime it work for the first few adds I got then it stoped working so I don’t recommend this I have already deleted it.Version: 10.1.2
