AdBlock for Negative User Reviews

Doesn’t workDoes not block ads on my iphone 6 and the VPN occasionally causes connectivity issues. i don’t recommend this app..Version: 4.7.3

App is not workingThe app didn’t work correct for me , I’m reading Webtoons and manga on internet, but the Adblock didn’t work to block the adds. It’s working for the first 10-15 min, but then all the adds are coming back.Version: 4.7.3

SHOULD be as simple as downloadingAs a Technophobe i struggle with terminology and suffer over anything related to computers. This app should be effortless to activate if it is genuinely compatible with ipads and iphones. The video (very thoughtful) was so fast i had to watch it 12 times and take screen shots hoping to match the trail of steps. End result is,I can’t seem to install it. I’m sure the problem lies with me, but you need to make this much much easier. My safari in settings did NOT have the “Content Blocker” tab you suggested i merely need to flip on to allow adblock in. When i put my setting search bar to work for the first time ever tonight i found it, but not where you said it was. I followed the steps right up to “Swipe up to Enable” and guess what… it’s locked. Won’t allow swipe of any kind. Seriously, how do you install this thing, and i also suggest you allow folks to use the app for a few weeks to form a solid opinion of it before soliciting reviews. I would not likely have posted my difficulties so publicly if you had waited..Version: 4.7.3

Works when it's on, but keeps switching offUsed to work great but for some reason recently the VPN icon has been disappearing and the ads start appearing again. Seems to be a daily thing - the VPN icon is gone, if I check the app it will say enabled then suddenly the VPN icon comes back and it starts blocking ads. Next morning the VPN icon is gone again but the app status is still green/enabled. Really annoying, it used to be so good!.Version: 4.1

AbandonedWay to bail. Not cool..Version: 4.7.3

Awesome when it stays on...Loved this app in the beginning. Snagged some proxy rules off GitHub and it worked flawlessly for a few days. I swear my phone was even faster on all fronts! Then after a few weeks of use I noticed it isn’t able to stay on... which imo defeats its purpose. It seems whenever the phone idles for a while or changes WiFi spots, the app turns itself off. Nowadays I find myself turning it back on every other day. VERY annoying. I even have the app enabled for background refresh. No help. So in conclusion, wish it worked better- but perhaps this has to do with how apple is cracking down on ad blockers cause they want you to have all the ad tracking..Version: 4.1

WhyStill keep getting pop up ads on safari. For 2 days now. :(.Version: 4.7.3

Great Blocker, destroys phone batteryThis has been a fantastic ad blocker that I’ve been letting run for a long time on my phone. Recently, after purchasing a new iPhone 11 Pro, which is supposed to have great battery life, I noticed the battery was still draining quickly, and went to see what was causing it in the phone’s settings. Turns out, this app was consuming *65%* of my phone’s battery through background activity, while the next app down the list was at 5% (Facebook). I have no idea how long this has been going on. After one day of blocking it from doing background activity, my phone has only drained down to 82% after a full day of use. Deleting this app, switching to another app..Version: 4.2.1

Waste of moneyThis app hasn't block any ad that I can see it's basically throwing $1 down the drain..Version: 1.0

Stopped workingWorked well in the beginning, not anymore. No response from multiple requests to app support. Don’t waste your money..Version: 4.7.3

Not UsefulThumbs down on this, I’m afraid. I bought it because I had read by adding the Prebake subscription it would stop all those annoying cookie popups. It doesn’t. Also, I find it is blocking genuine url addresses in Safari and preventing me from opening them, which is not useful at all and very frustrating..Version: 4.1

Works okay ...butWhen can we have an ad blocker that works blocking ads within apps? Even some paid apps have ads. Frustating and getting worse it seems with each Apple ios update..Version: 4.5

I want a refundI used it and did not block pop up ads. I tried everything on app and did nothing to fix blocking ads on safari website..Version: 4.7.3

Don’t botherI have had Adblock on iPhone for nearly 2 years and i still get ads on most if not all websites. I try to make sure that it is still activated and it is. It asks if I want to disable Adblock. I don’t think it is much use..Version: 4.0.0

Still seeing adsSpent hours on this and adds are still showing up..Version: 4.7.3

Doesn’t compareDoes not block all the ads, despite it being on. Adguard free does more. I’d like a refund!.Version: 4.2.1

Very disappointed...In this app. Was hard for me to set up and use (thanks to husband, though, got it working). At first it was great to block the ads in Words with Friends 2 and another game. However, after a week, I blocked something and made things worse so we reset the whole app by deleting it and re-installing it. Well, that made things horrible - I couldn’t even get WWF to show current games AND when I played a word, it wouldn’t register it so it was a continuous loop of the same games and no moves being played and registered so I had to turn the VPN off to get my WWF games to show up. $1.99 spent on a useless app to me. Would give it negative stars if I could..Version: 4.1

Was great…Was great until it stopped working recently, now the app will not even open and just crashes upon load. Very disappointed as used this app almost daily :(.Version: 4.7.1

Don’t work at all Please don’t used ! GarbageThis don’t blocked anything at all ! I wasted my money buying this crap . I kept getting ad everywhere more than before . If I could give it 0 stars I would ! I missed “LUNA” app . There was no ad at all 0 from browser and apps ..Version: 4.6.2

It’s a scamThis app doesn’t not work it’s fake does not block any adds I don’t know where the other good reviews are coming from prob fake accounts made by the app developer waste of money don’t buy it.Version: 4.7.3

Not doing jobUpdate: July 14, 2021 It is completely unusable now. Multiple updates and refreshes and install and uninstalls later, I find myself not being able to block any ads. It’s frustrating and honestly I’m tired of it. At the time I got this app there were not a lot of ad-blockers available. And in that time, this app shined like a star. But idk what happened, it’s become completely useless. Will constantly switch from wi-to to LTE and refuses to stay consistently on. It’s a real shame because I wanted to give this app one last go. But sadly, I must move on. My suggestion, use a different ad-blocker. I’m sure the people are not to blame here and are good people trying their best to fix it. But at this moment it’s not worth the trouble. Used to work really well. Then I disabled it for something on chrome and then when I went to go turn it back on, ads were still popping up again. It automatically turns it off after a while so you have to go and open the app again to allow it to continue blocking. It's good and works well, but fix the bug where I have to manually go and turn it on every 20-30 minutes when it should always be on until I want it off..Version: 4.7.2

If at first you don’t succeed...Note to prospective buyers: you get what you pay for. At under $2, don’t expect a miracle or even decent support. I installed the app and configured my device per the instructions, but nothing was blocked in Safari. I cleared the Safari cache and restarted my device. Still no luck. I tried emailing their support team, and they gave me a form letter repeating the installation instructions, which I confirmed I had done, and asked for next steps. They did not reply. I then read the reviews and saw that other users had some luck by deleting the app, restarting their devices, and reinstalling. I tried this and it worked. Long story short: if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again!.Version: 4.0.0

Absolutely disappointing and misleading.This app does not block ads like it states whether in safari or while using an application. I have wasted my money on an application that does not do its job and I am here to recommend an application that ACTUALLY works and is completely free. Search up Adblock Mobile and you’ll see a do not enter symbol. It’s free and it effing works unlike this garbage. It blocks safari ads as well as in app ads. Don’t believe me try it out. Download an app that requires you to upgrade to remove ads and you won’t see any ads at all, it’s fantastic and it works magnificently. DO NOT BUY THIS. - Sincerely someone who is trying to help you save you effing money and time..Version: 4.1

Scanning for domains not working anymoreIt seems more ads appear and the app can’t block them even though it’s on.Version: 3.0.1

Works fineWorks fine on safari but that's it. Don't expect ads to disappear from your phone.Version: 4.1

GarbageDoes not work Do not waste money and time I have tried several times over the span of many months YouTube ads still pass every single time I tried Desktop free version has never let a single one pass This has every single time.Version: 4.7.3

Not workingPaid £1.88 or something and it don’t work”your app says blocks adds in movie app’eell sorry to tell u it don’t and I would like to have a refund as it doesn’t work please get in touch with me.Version: 4.7.3

Doesn’t work at allLike others have said it doesn’t block anything or seemingly do anything. Should be pulled from store..Version: 4.1

Bit confused.I just got this app thinking that it would let me block apps on those pesky ad craving games but all I can see is safari adblocker? I would really like to know how to block ads on my other games other than safari. 😕.Version: 4.7.3

MsDon't waste your time or money!.Version: 2.4.1

Doesn't work anymorePaid app doesn't work as advertised when purchased.Version: 3.0.1

Unable to open appTo whom this may concern, I bought this app yesterday and I have tried turned my phone on and off again several times without any result. Every time I try to open the app it just brings me to the home page. I would like a refund if that is possible. Thank you for reading my post..Version: 4.3.2

CrashesSince latest update constantly crashes. No longer usable..Version: 4.7.1

Waste of moneyGarbage does not block in app ads don’t buy it.Version: 4.7.3

Don’t Expect This to Help You Block Ads on CellularTo preface, I’ve been with this app for YEARS. And I’m quite disappointed as there are better apps that do much better, for at lower price or free. Adguard Pro and DNSCloak, respectively. This app did not save me from enterprise revokes despite adding the proper domains. I even tested it after. Went on mobile data only, turned on the VPN, manually typed the offending domain in my web browser, and it wasn’t blocked. Tried the other URL, and still wasn’t blocked. I confirmed the Adblock was “on” by the icon on my status bar. Until the app developer fixes this, adds some enticing feature that other competitors don’t have, I will not retract my star rating..Version: 4.3

Still getting YouTube adsI upgraded to AdBlock from AdGuard because I started to get YouTube ads. Thought the protection would be better since it’s a paid app. Unfortunately, YouTube ads are still getting through on this app. Perhaps it’s a problem with the filters? Happy to update my review when this is fixed. For now, not happy..Version: 4.6.2

Crap no updating block listThis worked at the start blocked in app ads now it’s not blocking them. A don’t think they update the block lists so would not recommend this..Version: 4.7.3

Utterly uselessEven deleting the old version and re-installing, re-activating and restarting Safari, ads EVERYWHERE over all visited pages. The old version did exactly what it said on the tin. This one does nothing. Don't waste your time or your money..Version: 4.1

Flickers on and off4.5 is still not stable. When Adblock is on (you see the VPN icon), I’ll use an app (Apple news, for example), the page will start loading, then the phone disconnect from WiFi and cell service, then after a few seconds just be connected to cell service (after it drops WiFi) and then cycles back to WiFi after 10 or 15 seconds, when the Adblock will no longer be active. These behaviors don’t happen when Adblock is off. Adblock used to be stable and amazing. It’s not anymore. It’s actually LESS frustrating to see ads everywhere than deal with the delays and instability when Adblock is on. I hate ads, so that’s saying a lot..Version: 4.5

Worked at first not now. Terrible support.This app was a God send at first then it stopped working. Support told me to uninstall it which I did but it didn't uninstall properly and took a week for me to get rid of then when I put it back on it keeps turning itself off. Support ignore my emails and refuse to refund..Version: 3.0.1

Avoid (yes, avoid)Doesn’t work! I’m not an idiot and did a CS degree last year. This app simply isn’t routing traffic through its in-built DNS or VPN and no ads are being blocked in-app. Will request a refund in two days when Apple “processed” my order. All round, don’t waste your time on this..Version: 4.1

It works but with extra stepsIs it the best? No. But does it work? Yes. App must be running AND you need to go to Settings>General>VPN and enable AdBlock's VPN. Now you're passing all your data through their filters and no more ads. Is it the best? No..Version: 4.5

Stopped working after the latest iOS updateEverything worked until the latest iOS update 14.6. I paid money for nothing?.Version: 4.7.2

Also getting ads after updateAs another person said. Since the update ads are coming through. Turned a useful app, useless..Version: 3.0.1

Doesn’t work anymoreI followed all the setup steps and the first few days the service worked. However, it now doesn’t work even though I have not changed anything..Version: 4.6.2

Totally overratedThe app has horrible issues. First of all, it’s incredibly slow importing DNS lists. It’s a host file, it’s almost unfathomable that it takes as long as it does to import a list of hosts into a text file. There should be a built in dns blocking list anyways. Second, and more importantly, the vpn does not stay connected and you need to constantly go back and manually reactivate it, so essentially the app doesn’t even work as described. App shouldn’t cost money for such an amateur experience. Edit: it seems like some of the issues are resolved so I am updating to 3 stars. The VPN stays connected but there are still no built in DNS lists with common block lists like on some competitors in the space offer. I have not tried importing a new DNS list so I can’t comment on whether the developers have fixed their file parser to operate at a reasonably ... expected speed.Version: 4.6.1

“Best Ad Blocker”? Not by a long shot.Worked on my friend’s phone so I thought it would work in mine; but no. Doesn’t get rid of ads the way it does on my friend’s phone. So disappointed because the claim that it’s the best. Wasted my money..Version: 4.1

Poor supportWorks well on blocking ads from most apps but certainly not from all. Have contacted support but never receive replies or assistance..Version: 4.7.3

Too complicatedI just want to be able to block ads on YouTube and such but the language they use sounds like mumbo jumbo to me. Wish it was much easier to understand.Version: 4.7.3

BrokenApp crashes every ~12 seconds, won’t connect. Worked perfectly for months.Version: 4.7.1

Disconnects Too muchHi, so i have just bought this app and its amazing when it works (I must say). The VPN just keeps on disconnecting from time to time and does not retain.Version: 4.1

I'm TornI love this app for it's functionality and features. However it drains the battery on my phone. It's a major major problem I habe with this app. I watched my battery run down from fully charged to 50% or less withing a couple hours and I'm by no means a heavy user. When I check the battery stats it showed as the #1 for battery consumption with more than 50% of overall battery usage. This happened on countless occasions. I would delete the app and then the battery usage goes back to normal. Also my phone was always hot when I had this app installed. All of this happened after a recent update. I love this app and want too use it but I cant, because it is devastating to my battery..Version: 4.1

Good idea but not enoughAt first I really liked this app; looks good, simple to use etc.; but then I noticed that it doesn't really work. It has a big list of ad sites/companies that it blocks but if they are blocked, they mustn't be very common ad sites/companies. I didn't notice any improvement worthy of keeping this app. Really wished that it did pan out though..Version: 2.6.1

Total CrapDONT waste your time or money on this app! It used to work but now does nothing. No update for over a year. Requested support but IGNORED! Seems that their website is not working now. How can you keep selling this crap when it doesn’t work anymore??? At least have the courtesy to update it or remove it for the store..Version: 4.1

CrapDoesn’t work..Version: 4.5

Doesn’t workIt doesn’t work on apps like twitch and youtube. Just wasted my money….Version: 4.7.3

Rubbish don’t botherAlways turned off, developers can’t seem to fix it. Gave them ample time and it is never running properly. Waste of money. Delete and get something that actually works..Version: 4.6.2

Doesnt workDoesnt work.Version: 4.5

Still not working.Don’t waste your money. Apple need to sort compensation for rip off developers who just take your money. Sort it out as Needs update as stopped working since ISO 14.5..Version: 4.6.2

So soDoesn’t block YouTube ads which are the WORST.Version: 4.7.3

Developer Makes False CalimIt's a scam some some money by not downloading..Version: 4.2.1

Doesn’t workI bought and still keep coming add after add that is a still.Version: 4.7.3

VPN iconWhy is there a VPN icon in the menubar, especially since it doesn’t use a VPN any more? Please give us the option to remove it..Version: 4.0.0

Not a good product - Don’t buy itYes it blocks ads, all ads, even the ones you want! For example if you do a google search for something (e.g., electric cars), you could get a lot of results. So if you click on a result, it says “invalid entry” The developers of this app haven’t done their research to work out the difference between user requested ads against automatic (nuisance) ads. So while it helps to read news etc (typically on a phone or a tablet) this app effectively nullifies the use of the device for browsing the web to find something unless you have two devices, one for reading and one for web browsing! It is a waste of money.Version: 4.7.3

Got it to try to block ads on Facebook doesn’t workTried it for Facebook using safari but it doesn’t block any ads at all using safari to browse Facebook.Version: 4.7.3

Adds their own ads!!I have a raspberry pi filtering out all of the ads on out home network so there’s barely any ads on our home network. I bought this for when I’m using data or on another WiFi network and noticed something funny tonight. I was on my home network on iFunny, an app usually ad free on my home network, had ads. I was very confused so I disabled the app, closed then re opened iFunny. The ads were gone due to my home network filtering them. I have reason to believe that this app is taking out other people’s ads and replacing the spots with their own ads. That’s really crappy considering I paid $2 for this app. I’m very disappointed and would love a refund. Hopefully this helps someone else from being tricked..Version: 4.1

CrashThe app used to work really well but now it seems like it keeps on crashing everytime I open it, please fix!.Version: 4.3.2

Was great at stopping addsHowever something seems to have changed and now apps have many apps coming through. Used this for several years without issue. Guess it needs an overhaul and updates.Version: 4.7.3

No itube supportDoesn't support the new iTube, which has iAds.Version: 1.0

Worse App I’ve ever usedDown loaded this app onto my iPhone 6 because I’m so fed up with the constant deluge of annoying ads that pop up when I’m trying to search for something on the web. The creator of this app said it would stop these pesky ads. But, ha ho! I’m still seeing them. I followed the install & set up process, now I have a little symbol at the top of my screen which says ‘VPN’ & that only appears when I remember to open the app before I open my browser. So, unless I’ve missed the point completely, this app is crap. How on earth did it get a licence from Apple? I would have given it no stars, but I couldn’t even do that!!!.Version: 4.1

YouTube adsApparently this app will block everything except YouTube ads, what a disappointment!!!.Version: 4.7.3

Always turns itself off.The app itself does exactly what it’s meant to, and I have no issues when it comes to ad blocking itself. My issue, and to me it’s a huge one, is the fact that the app always turns itself off. It is so annoying that I turn on the VPN, then it randomly turns itself off. It could be on for as little as five minutes or a couple of hours, but it ALWAYS turns itself off. I would be less upset had this application been free, but the fact that I paid for this thing to block ads and it does always turns itself off and ends up NOT blocking them is really infuriating. What is most upsetting is that when it is on, it works so well, and I want to give this app a good review and recommend it to everyone, but the fact that it always turns off makes it very unreliable. Because of this, I cannot recommend you or anyone else I know purchase this app..Version: 4.1

Works like a fading starThis app is or atleast used to be awesome. But after the latest update I am observing that the ads are blocked for few hours since Adblock app is opened and then after sometime ads starts coming up in other apps. I checked the widget, which still shows that Adblock is active and if opened again the Adblock itself, the ads again disappear for few hours. I didn’t know if the app is being terminated automatically after a time or what, so I double checked the background enabled feature for Adblock and it was on. Hope you guys make it persistent. Until then Chao.Version: 4.1

Adds still coming throughDoes not work.Version: 4.7.3

Does not workLike most other reviews this app does not block ads anymore. I have been using this app for around 2 years and it's been great but not anymore. Developers should consider giving a refund unless they sort it soon. Now using a different app..Version: 3.0.1

Hasn’t appeared to block any adsPaid and downloaded this app a few weeks ago. I have set it all up correctly and no ads have been blocked to my knowledge. As well, I contacted ‘Support’ a week or so ago and still have not received a reply or response..Version: 4.2.1

Same as other appsDoesn’t block ads in games and other apps i don’t see anything special in this app 😑 This app shouldn’t be paid cuz honestly it’s not worth it.Version: 4.1

Not working after latest updateThis was a great app up until the last update. It has stopped working completely..Version: 3.0.1

Seems ok but really not greatI was looking for an app that will block ads in other apps. It turns out that this app at one point had that functionality but was disabled at some point. Now this app only works with safari. Wouldn't have even bothered rating it but 1. I know I'm going to be charged for the download even though the app is now useless to me (I don't use safari) and have uninstalled it. And 2. The customer support didn't bother to write back to answer any of my questions. This could be a great app, but when you combine the outdated description with a lack of customer support, you get an app that leaves you with a feeling of complete disappointment..Version: 4.1

Nope went to DNScloak.Was trying this one out but this one is just complicated go to import a host file & it doesn’t do it all auto there’s more to it like some group thing I don’t know I wasn’t fighting with this complicated mess, in 1 min I downloaded dnscloak opened went into setting enabled blacklist, open the same host file into it, went back to the start enabled Ad block server & tested with the site the sims resource ad happy site, that app works gets what I needed done a lot faster no fuss, this one used to be good but too many extra steps just makes it frustrating. Old review: be prepared to have to down grade the app! If your updated to the junk 4 version this app isn’t worth buying! This app does not block ads in other apps as of V4 I’m rating it based off the V3 vpn version DO NOT BUY THIS APP now it doesn’t do anything any other free app can do ! Also again do not update!! (Downgrade is possible now long as u don’t update iTunes ...) This app still works fine on the older update you do not have to update when there is updates! Turn off auto updates..Version: 4.2.1

Doesn’t workI’ve been looking for an ad blocker for ages as the one I was using (Luna) got deleted. This one doesn’t work for apps but could worm on safari, but I found it really annoying that I doesn’t actually work in apps..Version: 4.2.1

Does not block any ads on YouTube, Reddit, Facebook, or anything outside of safariPaid for because it promised on the website to block ads on safari as well as all of the other apps. Followed all of the instructions and am receiving the same number of ads on every service (outside of safari) with absolutely no change. It's only $4 but I'm still upset to have wasted my money..Version: 4.7.3

Misleading. It’s over and done with for this app.This app works perfectly for me... for now, because I’m still on the V3 version. The newest version of this app shouldn’t even allowed to be sold, if you buy this app in its current state you are literally throwing away money and paying for something that you can get from free apps. It’s over with for this app. They shouldn’t even be selling it anymore but of course they’re not going to turn down free money. The app is so highly rated that people will blindly buy it not realizing that it has been gutted and no longer provides any functionality worth paying for.Version: 4.0.0

Really badI get more ads with this app than before I had it. It doesn’t really work. Please try and fix this🙏.Version: 4.7.3

New Version SLOWS down everything horriblyWhen I first installed this application, it worked perfectly. Since the most recent update, however, my browsing has been slow as hell. And I mean SLOW. As in, 10 seconds to get search results back from Google while I have a 150 Mbps connection. Some sites load instantly. Others sit and spin forever. Literally 15-30 seconds at times to load a page. Turned off the app, and everything loads instantly. Something has been hosed with the new version. I hope they fix it. Now browsing without ad blocker..Version: 4.2.1

Paid for an app that doesn’t workI installed this app only 15 minutes ago and after one brief session of ad-free viewing, the ads are back and seemingly worse than ever. I had originally bought it for Chrome, since nowhere in the product info does it say “Safari only” (I understand that I may have been reading too fast/be a victim of wishful thinking), but even in Safari it’s not working. $1.99 isn’t a lot to pay in the whole scheme of things, but it is money compared to the free apps. Now I’ll have to put effort into finding an IT person who will look at this for “free”, or even pay them (my “Mac guy” is $80/hr) to get it to work. HARRUMPH NOT COOL.Version: 4.1

Didn’t workAfter installing this and following the install process half my apps stopped connecting on my phone and the app that had the ads I wanted blocked kept getting the same ads..Version: 4.5

ICloud emails load very slowlyWhen I open an iCloud email with images it takes sometimes several images to open. If I turn off AdBlock then the email displays instantly. Please fix..Version: 4.7.3

Battery killerI’ve had ad block for a couple of months now and all was going well but since the latest update it has become a battery killer. Between 4 am and 6 am this morning my phone went from 100% charge to 31% charge and I was asleep. Not sure what they have done to it but what ever it is it is not good..Version: 4.1

This app sucks!!!Don’t buy this app it doesn’t work at all.Version: 4.7.3

Meh.Ok so, I downloaded this app thinking it would stop the random videos popping up throughout the games I am playing. My friend recommended me the app. I paid for it with a gift card I had acquired, and I’m 75% sure that it charged me twice. My friend stated that the app removed many different videos in games she also plays. I downloaded the app, and I find that there is no difference. I would appreciate it if the developers gave me my money back, and I remove the app. Throughout the reviews they seem pretty well, but I saw one that says Apple stopped them from blocking the ads. Which is dumb? I’m paying money to block the ads, then the developers of the games I play make more money off of me? I feel cheated, but I can deal. I gave it a three star review, 1) because I think I was charged twice, and 2) because I don’t believe that this app quenched my needs. People seem to be blaming Apple for that, so I guess I will as well. Also this is the first review I’ve ever written, so I apologize if its a mess. Grammar is difficult..Version: 4.1

Only works with SafariIt doesn't work with individual apps like cnn, espn, chrome etc. Don't spend your money on this app. Duckduckgo has the same blocking functionality and it's free. If you have a jailbroken iphone, use minimal host blocker. It blocks ads in all apps..Version: 4.1

Impressive Adblock for Web-browsingThis application works amazingly well when browsing on applications such as Safari or Google Chrome. What most people forget to do is import DNS rules and set it to their IP address; if not, it won’t block much of the ads. The application used to block ads that were on other applications (I.e. mobile games and streaming sites), but that feature disappeared. Hopefully they can bring it back and block the constant ads on other apps. One major critique is that this application has trouble blocking pop-up advertisements that redirect you to a different site, which breaks the original link that the user wanted to browse. Hope that they can add an option to blacklist or block certain ad-links that break the site..Version: 4.1

Used to be my favorite app...Before they changed the way the app worked (I think they had to do so because of an iOS update), this was hands down a 5-star app that I absolutely loved, I had forgotten the existence of advertisements. Now I forget that I had AdBlock because of the constant issues, I need to reset my connection, disable and reenable AdBlock and restart the app I want to block the ads of in between each one of those steps to have it work, until I have suboptimal internet connection for a split second, because then it’s all over again. This app made me in love with itself when I first got it, and now makes me reboot my days away. This is such a great app that has turned very inefficient, I hope it redeems its qualities..Version: 4.1

No way to disable VPN icon in status bar!This app is great but please add the option to disable the "VPN" icon in the status bar, thanks..Version: 4.0.0

Aaaaaargh !Latest version doesn't work on iphone5. Last working version for "5" constantly asks to be updated even though you cannot do so. More annoying than ads, may delete app..Version: 4.1

AdblockRegurgitating other people’s DNS profiles that don’t actually represent “safe” or “secure” vpn is troubling in itself. The fact that this app is represented as a “total” adblocker, but only actually appears to work as a safari extension - nah, “not happy, jan”!.Version: 4.7.3

Good but disappointedReading it over and I was hoping to block pop ads and banners on other games and apps. Only works with Safari.Version: 4.1

Keeps disabling itselfThis worked great with the old version 2.8.2 and iOS 8.43. Since updating to iOS 11 and the most recent version it keeps disabling itself, whether it’s apples fault or adblockers fault, I’ve instead gone to adguard premium, have to pay to play..Version: 4.1

Thought it workedBut then found that sometimes it blocks and sometimes it doesnt. So either the lists are poor and not adequate to block or the program doesnt really work that well. Had more success with the Safari blockers - Purify for example works always. If i disable purify, and use this program its letting ads through. So a bit poor hence two stars. Edit: new version didnt improve also disconnects regularly from vpn despite background refresh. Requires manual reconnect. Bit poor..Version: 4.1

DisappointingI had hopes this would be the final stop in the war against increasingly overbearing mobile ads. Unfortunately, most of the good reviews seem to be from previous versions of the app. As far as my mobile ad experience, I don’t even notice a difference when it’s on/off. I still get the same ads at the same frequency. Same annoying redirects, same pop-ups, same video ads. In fact, the only way I can tell it’s even enabled is because it prevents certain pages from loading altogether. Then I’m left with no ads...but also a blank page :^) The proxy is meh. It’s nice in theory but it noticeably slows things down and it can be murder on battery life. If you’re looking for a seamless ad-free mobile experience, unfortunately this is not it..Version: 4.1

Stopped working may 2021Stopped working may 2021.Version: 4.6.2

This app is great but sometimes you have to manually find ad domainsMost of the time, the ad domains are already blocked, but a few apps have domains that aren’t blocked and ads can slip through. I had to manually find the ad domains and separate them from regular domains. Some domains let the app run, so if I block that, I screw up the app. I manage to find all the ad domains and separate from regular domains. If it wasn’t for the new domain detector, I wouldn’t be able to find all the ad domains, because those ad domains didn’t came up on the last version but did now. This app needs to be kept up to date for the domains so I wouldn’t have to look them up manually..Version: 4.0.0

Would be more useful if it didn’t spontaneously turn itself off all the time... :(Needs fixing so it stays on until told otherwise by the user. Rubbish - still turns itself off all the time....Version: 4.1

Doesn’t work with VPN appsDoes not block ads if enabled along with VPN apps. On its own adblock removes ads but I also enable VPN for privacy, but in doing so ads still appear (in apps). Also, my review drops a star for support. I have emailed support (a couple of times) via the in app link but they never respond..Version: 4.0.0

ItsmeUpdate and fix or i push a refund does not work as advertised.Version: 3.0.1

Does not work!Its not working in my iphone 13 pro max! Ios 15.2.1.Version: 4.7.3

Added feature and removed featureThey added a switch to turn on/off DNS proxy, but now I can’t seem to toggle the Adblock on/off from the widget. Really annoying to have to enter the app to turn on and off..Version: 4.5

It not work like I expected it toI downloaded this app for the purpose of blocking advertising but it didn’t do anything adds still around when I browse the net and when listen music or playing games......Version: 4.1

Stop pestering me for a reviewI’ve opened the app for 1 minute and it’s asked me twice already. So here’s your review - one star. I have no idea what the app is like yet..Version: 4.1

Blocks NothingNo change at all. All ads still there..Version: 4.5

No longer workingThis app was working until yesterday’s update (25 May). It would sometimes stop, but then get going again, which was slightly irritating. On the whole though, it worked pretty well. Following the update it’s not working at all..Version: 4.7

Like all add blockers, a single update and they’re all destroyed.This one is no exception… wondering why there’s a vpn and such when it’s nothing to do with ad blocking anymore. I wish the developers knew it was a huge mistake to do this. Now the internet was designed to be a free resource of knowledge and interaction. But now I have to sit through YouTubing greed. When they get money for views, more than the ads which mostly go to the people with the add..Version: 4.7.2

Fall from graceI’ve had this for about 2 years, if not more. It used to block ads and was so good. However, it doesn’t work anymore, doesn’t block any ads. Unfortunately, it’s looks as though it’s just there to look fancy and make you feel good. It could have been better. But now I downloaded another ad blocker (which I won’t name out of respect) Please do consider improving this app..Version: 4.1

It works, but...V4 does some sort of iCloud sync, which I don’t understand because I don’t need anything synced with iCloud. The sync takes too long and the interface to turn off Adblock won’t let you do anything until that sync is complete. Instead of waiting, and messing with a swipe interface, just give us a button to turn it on and off, do the housekeeping in the background. Why do I need to turn it off? Because when it’s on, there are several sites - major sites - that don’t work. For example in order to complete this review, Adblock had to come down. I realize there are all sorts of things I could do to fine tune this behavior, but I don’t have time to mess with DNS lists, I just want it to block ads and get out of the way quickly when it needs to shut down. When it works it works well. Please tell users what the heck is being synced and if possible do this in the background!.Version: 4.1

Working again at lastSince the last iOS update, the program did not work at all, but now the program has been fixed and now I can happily note that it works again and the yucky program adds are again blocked. Thanks June 3rd update: Last update killed the program again, and the adds are back. Does not work.Version: 4.7.1

Good but could be far betterDoes block lots of adds but I some websites I get a pop up asking me to disable my Adblock . Could you please update your app those as these websites can’t detect your Adblock.Version: 4.7.3

Doesn’t do anythingThis doesn’t work at all. How do I get my money back?? >:(.Version: 4.5

Hobbled by AppleUsed to be amazing. Since updates it continually turns off, and lets ads through even when supposedly on. Very frustrating. I assume it's because of restrictions recently imposed by Apple. Not necessarily the developer's fault, but the app doesn't meet its claims, so two stars it is..Version: 4.1

Doesn’t work at allDon’t waste your money there better free ones.Version: 4.2.1

Says you block in app adsBlocks browser ads ok but claims it also blocks in-app ads too but fails to do so. Please fix or remove from advertising as the ASA prevents misleading advertising in the UK. I also paid for the app to so I should get what was peomised..Version: 4.1

Ad blockerIts not working.Version: 4.2.1

Not doing what I wantedThe reason for downloading this app was to block ads that appear whilst playing games. Unfortunately it does not do this. All relevant settings are activated correctly and also contacted support to confirm. Will be deleting and using Blockada app which I know does what I want..Version: 4.7.2

Doesn’t actually workI followed the instructions as per the on boarding process and I did not see a single ad blocked. I shall see about getting a refund. I don’t want to pay $2.99 for an app that effectively does nothing..Version: 4.1

Doesn’t block app adsUnfortunately it doesn’t block the ads which appear on the apps. On Safari it works fine..Version: 4.6.1

Absolutely bloody uselessLet’s just get things straight from the outset, the app doesn’t work. I still get ads on all the sites I visit without any being blocked. I have tried to contact the developer for a refund and/or assistance, but they don’t seem concerned as they haven’t replied and they make it inordinately difficult to even get in touch. Bloody disgrace..Version: 3.0.1

Blocks what ???? Yes it doesI bought this app to block adds on the solitaire game well it doesn't waste of money and l can't get a refund come on apple you can take our money so quickly but returning it is to hard come on apple.Version: 4.1

This app doesn't workDoesn't block any ads by not letting you connect in VPN settings. Might also be stealing your information through their "fake VPN" unlike other ad blockers that is just an extension..Version: 2.6.1

Massive battery drain100% background battery usage. iPad and iPhone are draining like crazy. Wasn’t like this before.Version: 4.5
