It actually works!. Works seamlessly and faster than most other ad blocking extensions I’ve tried. Strangely not available for desktop?

Great, maybe blocks google ad links?. Love this and the VPN app! My only concern is I think it may block google ad links on google searches? I would like these to be available, if there’s a way to work it into the app. But truly overall very happy with the app!

Best IOS Ad-Block ever!. I ran a test on this ad-block, the results ended up stunning. The ad percentage blocked was 83%, which is outstanding for a Third Party App. I also love how there are no IAP (In App Purchases) that force you to buy, for the app to function properly. Overall Best Ad Block

Great - works without annoying you. Doesn’t have 100’s of options, but you can enable/disable easily. Wish there were a macOS version (to go with my tunneling bears over there 😀)

Needed a tool to cut down on ad traffic!. Needs improvement badly. Letting in some ads by ad choice is not blocking that’s favoritism over another. Living a 1/4 block away from a major department store and I get swamped with advertisements as if I was inside the store see my problem here! Please let your research department know the current method is not working.

Very good app. I’ve tried many apps which claim to block this and that, but the Bear app did way better than most!! Although there are some pages that are challenging to block advertisements this app is much better than others

It’s okay. Back when when they first allowed ad blockers on the App Store, I used Purify. That was the best! Never saw an ad. Now, Purify was taken off the App Store so I had to look for a replacement. BlockBear seemed great as I was already familiar with TunnelBear. Super easy to set up, works instantly! My only complaint is that ads still seem to pop up. Definitely a major reduction, but I wished ALL the ads were gone, like my previous ad blocker.

I tried all the others and they could not block all the facebook ads. But this one did!!

Blocks ads but…. I thought the app did a great job blocking ads but it made Safari useless on some websites. If I open an email link, Safari would error and not open the webpage. Also, scrolling would lock up on some websites. I was having to disable the ad blocker in order to scroll and then enable it again to block ads.

No Longer Blocking Ads. I’ve noticed performance has changed over use with this app. At first it did a great job of blocking ads. Especially really annoying pop up ads. Now it’s almost as if I don’t even have the app installed. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Verified Safari settings shows it’s enabled. I’m still getting ads. Not sure why it went from great to bad?

Easy, fast, no slow down, + cute. Cutest, easiest ad blocker I've used. It didn't slow things down, was more or less just running in the background and required no attention. It did not interfere with my browsing speed. And of course the little bear transformation as adorable.

Great blocker in a sea of crap. BlockBear has been my godsend. App discovery on iOS is a disaster so once I found BlockBear I was so relieved to stop searching. It is no frills, does what I want, and comes with more cute bears to invade my phone. I am not a TunnelBear customer (another product by this developer) but that may be my next purchase given the good experience I have had with this. Thanks my dudes

THIS APP IS BEAR-FECT... Surprise Surprise, the developers of one of the best VPN services around has also designed a Safari blocking program to help make surfing the Internet a lot less painful. I’ve been a paid Tunnel Bear member for years now. I enjoy their funny and lively marketing and reliable service to protect my traffic and enable something blocked sites from public access points I use regularly. This new app helps keep your browsing many times less cluttered by all the ads and customization various web design company’s add onto their sites. It’s simple and functional. CHECK IT OUT..

Blockbear. Blockbear is much improved than before but it still doesn’t block 100% of the ads that it’s supposed to take care of. I still use the app because it’s protection from all types of malware and other viruses. It’s a good app that can be better.

It's great! But can we get iPod compatibility?. I downloaded this on my iphone 6s and it works just as it said it would. But when i tried to download block bear on my ipod touch it said it was not compatible can we maybe get iPod touch compatibility to as many old generations of ipods as we can go?

Great app!. I love the Bear apps and their simplicity. One suggestion for improvement: when BlockBear can't load new lists, a red banner drops down from the top to notify the user to tap on the banner to refresh/update the lists. This banner drops down and disappears too quick to be read and I had to just wait for it to drop down again to quickly read the error message. A fix to have this drop down error message stay a bit longer would be great. Another thing is when opening a new tab or site with Safari, Imthe page will load up blank and I'll have to refresh the page again. This happens quite a lot and becomes a bit irritating when opening up multiple tabs. Other than that, great app and use it in conjunction with TunnelBear!

Does mostly work well. Great at stopping the two scourges of auto-play videos, and of sudden screen-covering panels that ask you to subscribe whilst you’re in middle of reading their article. But I wish it also more successfully halted iFrames or other floating panels on the sides. Nothing worse to my eyes than to be reading and scrolling, but have a vertical tower of ‘next’ or ‘social’ icons hold fast to the side of the screen. Otherwise a solid product, and a nice name. Go Blockbear!

Block bear does its job well. Sometimes I end up having to turn off the beat in order to load something mundane like package tracking. But it's worth it to know I'm not the one being tracked. The sarcasm and jokes that are provided in the notice bar as you adjust your privacy settings offer a welcome bit of humor. Very clever creation

This app is a scam be very careful.. I downloaded this app and it had absolutely no effect on my safari. It does not work and even inserts more popup ads through notifications and requests that will pop up while your using your phone to pay for there subscription service. Do NOT give them any credit card information they will try to bill your account with fake transactions and sell your info to other scammers.

Simple & Easy Safari Ad Blocker. Everyone should use an ad blocker and Block Bear is the best one I've found. I've tried a lot of them. Block Bear offers the best and easiest to use ad blocker available for ios users. While it doesn’t always block everything and sometimes it blocks things it shouldn’t it still works better than most. Plus it’s free! If it blocks something it shouldn’t you can just add that site to your whitelist to unblock it. There are 2 ways to white listsomething theoretically...but only one way works. To whitelist a webpage just open the app and copy/paste the link of the site you want to block to Block Bears whitelist. The other alternative to add a site to your whitelist is to use the share extension in Safari...but this method has never worked for me which is unfortunate because it’s the faster alternative. The reason it seems that the Safari share extension doesn’t work is because instead of accurately copying the website address Block Bear copies a different link instead of the actual website link. This erroneous link always includes 'ycombinator' in the text. I'm not sure what ycombinator even is but it never works. This bug has existed as long as Block Bear has. So as long as you know that and stick to using the app to whitelist sites you want to block you'll be fine!

No more Temu. Enough said!!! Blocks some news sites but well worth getting rid of sketch ads I have no interest whatsoever of going to. Especially when they want you to buy via their app. Like that is safe.

Work’s well. I like it, it gets the job done even if it’s not how I intend to use it but I haven’t had my data taken and it stops me from going on unsafe web sites when I’m looking for some thing 11/10 would recommend

Awesome! Free!. One of the very few ad blockers that haven’t tried to trick me by making it mandatory for me to put in my credit card before being able to use the app. Thank you! As someone without a credit card, I appreciate it!

Great apps and company. Have all of their apps and pay, love them. This app could really use an update. I’d pay for it if it got them updating it again. Works well on here and I love it in Chrome on my desktop.

App is no longer blocking ads like before. I have been using this app for a couple years and it’s been great but lately it no longer blocks clickbait in other apps or emails and I have no clue why. I switched iphone from 12 to 15 recently and re installed BlockBear and it doesn’t work as before with all settings the same.

Really works on video pop-ups!. This app really does prevent annoying pop-up ads! I frequent cooking blogs and they all have those random video pop-up ads, but no more. This app also blocks videos at the top of news stories from popping out and following you as you scroll down the webpage. Highly recommend.

Very simple, and effective. This app hits a balance that not enough do. It gives you just enough options, while staying very simple. I similarly liked Firefox Focus too, but noticed that it would sometimes leave empty boxes where ads were blocked, and didn't allow any whitelisting, at least not from Safari. Blockbear covers both of these things! I just wish they had it for Mac Safari too, I'll try out Nope for that.

Makes browsing usable. One suggestion. Please add a way to disable BlockBear on the Safari toolbar. I frequently am shopping and do want to click on personalized ad links. If I’m just browsing the internet, I love this extension.

Great job of blocking dangerous content. Blockbear blocks malicious content from dangerous sites and protects you from companies that try to spy on you or steal your private information. Today I got saved from being victimized by the t-mobil Metro site that has so many redirects to suspicious sites (more than 20) that it breaks my browser. Scary!! Thanks, Block Bear!!

Does What It Says, Most of the Time!. I’m impressed. I’ve been using this for several days now, and I’ve had a few ads make it through, but about 98% less than before. Keep it up, devs! A+ from me!

So far so good.... This is my first time using an app like this, so I'm new to this. But I can tell you that it's easy to use and so far it's doing exactly what it advertised to do. I had no problems downloading or running app.

CLEAN!!!. This app is perfect!! It blocks ALL the ads on safari!! Only one Suggestion: Please make another one of these for chrome. Then Everyone could use it on their computers too, instead of just the iPhone.

I wish I could post a photo. I have been getting messages like the following that prove to me that it IS WORKING perfectly. Quote "Pleasee add us to your whitelist. Once you turn off your adblock software or whitelist this site you should be able to see the kind of Google ad below that when people click on them it helps to fund the site and then hit the back button to read the post you were aiming for."

It is nice and simple. I read a lot of comics online and one thing that ticks me of is when there is a add when I am trying to read so this is good for keeping those ads away when you are browsing or reading.

Does what it claims - mostly. A very simple to use content blocker that pretty much runs "behind the scenes." It doesn't stop some ads embedded within applications (e.g., USA Today) and some sites will not work (for me) even when listed on the White Page list (e.g., FedEx tracking). Still, a very well developed app, but looking forward to some updates to address these and glitches mentioned by other reviewers.

My phone working since getting this app. But my phone still keeps crashing on and off while using apps and apps will start showing a message on phone’s screen asking me, ( Are you having internet connection troubles? ) and at the same time my applications will get very slow 🤷‍♀️

Great content blocker. This app is super easy to set up and works as intended, so far without any need for intervention. The one suggestion I thought of is to have an option to turn it off for a small increment of time from within the safari toolbar. For instance, if I’m clicking on different google ads intentionally, I could deactivate it once instead of every time I click.

Excellent for Safari. Excellent at blocking ads on safari, though it blocked a link I opened from email from shazam, which was odd because it was a confirmation-type link for account creation. I hope in the future this could extend to other apps without using a vpn, because I’d rather not lose any speed just to stop capitalism from trying to brainwashing me

Much improved. Much improved over my try at it a year or so ago.. seems to block most things but a few still slip thru. If it could somehow allow you to flag or report adds that get by it would be a final improvement. Maybe you can already do this but if so it isn't obvious how that is done. I ended up with a much faster internet connection and a data limit so not having all of those useless adds chipping away at my data bank makes more sense now than ever. Overall data usage is significantly and noticeably less.

It worked great. It works splendidly. It blocked all the ads, and it’s not a virus. It’s easy to set up. I do recommend it to anybody that needs an adblocker. Another up side is that it’s easy to turn of and on. I recommend it greatly.

Blocks Features I Wanted. I downloaded BlockBear years ago and forgot about it. About a year ago, both major and local news network videos wouldn’t play. I also couldn’t click on the quick shopping links on google without getting an error. It was annoying and I couldn’t figure out what was causing it. Well, today I got fed up and messed around with my ad blockers. Turns out BlockBear was causing that to happen this whole time. Deleted it and a bunch of stuff works now. My other ad blocker is actually working as advertised while not disabling features I want to use. I wish I figured this out earlier. Do yourself a favor and delete this outdated app.

Works Great for Safari. This is exactly what I need. I can’t stand getting ads on mobile browsers, and this does a great job of blocking the ads from coming through. I’ve had to whitelist a few sites in order to be able to log in to my account, but there haven’t been any issues so far that I couldn’t easily fix. Highly recommend.

Useful and Necessary. I’ve noticed a difference in my web experience which is a good thing for me. I do wish the app was updated more frequently and would be willing to accept a paid high powered (VPN Free) version.

I love this app!!. I needed an ad blocker and this app was not only free but works amazing and actually prevents ads from popping up on my phone 24/7 and makes my phone much faster when opening websites. Its also very cute i love knowing my phone is protected by a little bear.

Very simple and seems to be working fine with safari.. Takes care of those annoying ads and pop ups. Exactly what I was trying to accomplish.

Easy to Use. So far very pleased with easy setup and use. Pretty much set it and forget it. Another one of the "Bear" programs that "just works". Also use their VPN and it has the same ease of use. Keep up the good work.

Great app, blocks all ads. This is a great app, blocks everything pretty much. Unfortunately it’s been abandoned by it’s creator so who knows how long it will be effective? I love that it’s free and doesn’t ask for any permissions from you at all. This is the best ad blocker out right now hands down. Two Thumbs up! 👍🏼👍🏼

Actually Works!. From what I’ve seen, the app does what it’s supposed to! I watch anime on external websites and get constantly bombarded with annoying pop up ads. This app helped significantly with the amount of ads I was getting, and sometimes stopped the ads all together. This was the case specifically for the anime website I was using. It definitely works on websites with ads on the page itself, and it overall makes safari easier to navigate! The only issue I seem to have is that when I leave my home wifi I have to sort of reset the app :) Overall a good quality ad blocker that’s FREE! 👍🏾

Can’t enable in safari settings. For some reason when I click on “content blockers” in my Safari settings and try to enable Block Bear it doesn’t work, the button to enable BlockBear is just transparent. Please be sure to fix this. Thank you.

This app is…. The is app is great, it blocks every ad. But, sometimes it blocks the buttons that i need to click when I’m shopping online. It doesn’t provide an image of the next page buttons and blocks some of the buttons I need to see in order to navigate on the website I’m looking at. But otherwise best ad blocker, I’ve come across!

Great blocking. Nov,2021 I have tried a number of different ads blocking apps, but Blockbear would be the finest one as far to use. Absolutely stunning how many ads it can filter!

Dodgy. Nothing on their website about who they are, or what their privacy policy is (don’t even state if they keep logs). Keep away. Stinks of government dodginess.

No longer works. It’s been 4 years since it has been last updated and it does not work at all in blocking ads.

Good, but needs the ability to add more filter lists. Seems to work well, blocking most ads, until it doesn’t recognise the ads and doesn’t block them. This is because it seems to be only using one filter list, which isn’t a fault of the app, just an oversight. Need the ability to add custom filter lists, as then we could block much much more. However, as a basicAdblock, this works great! Super quick, no data being sent back to devs, and very very easy set up.

The bearst. It beavers err bearers away in the background doing its job. You barely umm bearly know it’s there. Thanks, I mean fangs, great job.

Good job. Does what it says on box.

Simple & effective. Works the way it’s meant to. Well done BlockBear.

Does what is says and more (in the worst way). Blocks a lot more then adverts. Have not been able to see many entire webpages as the were blocked by BlockBear. Going back to Firefox I suppose.

Thanks you, you done a excellent job to share with everyone keep it up!. Thanks you, you done a excellent job to share with everyone keep it up!

The bear essentials. It works very well and is easy as falling on your face. Great job.

No more YT ads every 2 mins. Haven’t had a YT ad when watching on a browser since I’ve used this app so I can enjoy and just support creators via Patreon when I can without a worse watching experience than TV

Great product. Great product works perfectly

Simple and effective highly recommended. Great advert and tracker blocker. Highly recommended

Pretty good. Removes ads on Soundcloud!!

Terrific App. Does exactly what it is suppose to discreetly! Highly recommended!

Awesome. Works well 👏👏👏

Works perfectly. The only ad blocker I've found that actually works. I also love the message you get when turning it off - "Please wait while block bear is sedated" :)

Does what I want it to!. Can't ask for much more. Simple and effective.

Simply works!. Works great. Not much to say here other than it does it’s job and does it well 👌🏻

Simple and works. It is the only blocker I use, because it has a charming bear and works really nicely

Great!. Seems to work well, and is very unobtrusive.

Simple and effective. Cleans the junk out making loading faster. Easy to white list my favourite and trusted sites.

Makes bearowsing the Internet bearable on iOS!. Furget about the slow Internet of the pass.... Removes ads which clawses pawses in Safari and makes it growl faster...

Volunteer. I have found this app great for stopping ads in safari I recommend it to anyone running safari on their iPhone

Block trackers no longer works. “Block trackers” function no longer working since I updated to latest iOS last week. Advertisements are blocked but trackers are not being blocked. FB, the big G, Insta and Snap are finding ways around your app. An update is needed. I’ll keep using for another month for an update before switching blockers. Before this it was a 5 star app. Please update to maintain 5 star functionality.

There’s a bear in there. A bear that blocks. Take that, internet!

Block Bear Works Like A Charm. Does exactly what it claims to do - No bugs, blocks all ads online, the only ones it does seem to struggle with are facebook and snapchat ads. Sometimes are better than others, but i can live with that.

Support for Chrome on IOS?. Works great with Safari, makes browsing a lot easier. But can it, or will it support chrome?

BlockBear Review. Of course apps from TunnelBear are always secure and easy to handle. TunnelBear provides me with a great web experience without ads or trackers while of course adding their little entertaining twist on the app too. I look forward to more secure and amazing apps from TunnelBear LLC. such as this. Thank you

Excellent.. Simple interface that just works, and it would be cheap at twice the price! Good app.

Best AD-Blocker I've used. Have been using this app since iOS 9 and it has helped me block those pesky ads and make my browsing experience so much better.

Awesome. It works great and easy to use

Wonderful!. Wonderful, works very well, the apps from these ‘series’ are all fantastic.

Google ad links are broken. Sometimes I want to click on an ad link at the top of a google search but these are broken by the blocking.

It worked very well until…. It was working brilliantly for like 40 minutes but then i started getting ads and my browser started to slow down please help.

Good App!. This is such a good app and would recommended people getting it! Good job on who ever worked on it 👍🏻

Simple and effective. I'm in an area where internet connection is slow and inclined to drop out. The last thing I need is aggressive ads slowing down my activity to the point where web pages just don't load at all Block bear really helps thwart this menace.

Block bear. Works well even using VPN. Easy to set up

Great ad-blocker. Beautiful UI.. Works well and looks beautiful. Awesome app 5/5

???. Does nothing on safari

Good. I love the animations, the application is very simple and easy to use.

Great add blocker bad cookie blocker. Block lists have not been updated on a long time. Not too bad for web browsing but a few and third-party cookies are now getting through. In the past it would block cookies when other apps were opened and linked to a browser or web hosted content. Now it is letting Facebook Google and other trackers and cookies through.

Love these guys and their products!. Love blockbear and tunnelbear - I’d be lost without them both!! Fantastic ❤️👌🏼❤️👌🏼❤️👌🏼❤️👌🏼

Simple and effective. It just works. The controls are simple, and if you find something is too restrictive you can usually figure out why. Love this tool, would pay for it.

Love it!. Fantastic app! Well designed with a very nice user interface. Love the ability to whitelist my fav sites. Definitely happy with this purchase. Don't waste your money on other ad blockers - they would be 'unbearable'! 😄

This is great!!!!!!!!. Five ratings Does not cost money And very accurate Usually people make it $2.99 and they didn’t get good ratings or reviews. Keep being fantastic

Simple to use. Very effective blocking annoying ads and now my pages loads a lot faster. Thank you.

Reveiw. Great coverage never fails to drop out nor have a problem, lets me safely access internet site.

Does what it says. I was having so much trouble with intrusive ads and slowing my experiences. Block bear has helped me get back to joyful pre-ad browsing and games. Thanks!

Great ad blocker. I hate games that have stacks and stacks of ad's it makes me very angry, but with blockbear it all changes a click of a button will make ad's go away!. Great app 👌

Great app!. Works well on blocking trackers, ads, etc. Rawr!

Good. Overall i think this app is quite good. I downloaded it to One Piece on Chruchyroll without ads. Ion wanna risk my parents walking in on me on some legal website for obvious reasons. The app is very good, it takes up to 3-5 seconds to block ads which is pretty good, considering chruchyroll got s many damn ads. Don’t expect this app to work on every website/app out there. I haven’t had any issues so far so let’s see how long it can last.

Kind of pointless. Meh just a cool little icon but not as good as adguard and oh of course they want money per month for special access. No thanks

Still works on safari!. Despite no update for years this app still blocks ads on safari and it’s free!

Hi. Just go settings and enable it!

Nul sur mobile (iphone, ipad). Les pub pop up continuent d’apparaitre sur les sites

Abandoned!!!. They never update anymore. We don't know if it's still working or it's just a storage waste in our phones.

Is good. This app is the best app 10/10 works for anime makes me really happy 💯

Doesn’t work. Does nothing

Not great. Overall frustrating. Blocks youtube ads partially, still have to wait 5 sec at the start. Midway ads just completely stop the video (in pip). Clicking on legit search results will redirect to content blocked page. These are a few issues i’ve had with it

Garbage. This doesn’t do anything but take up space on your iPad/iPhone. Garbage!!

Love all your apps. The apps them selves are so simple and I’ve come to love block bear TunnelBear and remembear

*. I don’t know if this used to work or not but it doesn’t work anymore, I downloaded it because it was completely free, I had high hopes. It doesn’t work, though. It hasn’t blocked ads for me.

Work great.. Been waiting for a good ad blocker for Safari so I could switch from Brave. This one does the job.

Love it. I love it very good

Very Cute Bear. 10/10 Bear is very cute

Love it. Love it

Ça marche! Efficace!. Enfin je peux lire un article sans que mes paragraphes sautent et disparaissent à cause des**&$# annonces qui font bouger et déplacer.

App is old, doesn’t work anymore.. This app was really good for a long time! It did what is was supposed to, occasionally it would stop working, but deleting the app and reinstalling it again would make it work again. It stopped working again yesterday, even after uninstalling and reinstalling. It makes sense the app wouldn’t really work anymore, the last update was 4 years ago. If the app worked still I would recommend it!

Great app. Easy to use. Such an awesome app. Super easy to use

So good I wrote my first review. Honestly a blessing having a free no nonsense Adblock that works on iPhone. The font blocking feature speeds up load times and improves readability on many websites, too. Highly recommended.

Stopped working after iOS 14.5. Please fix

Nice free Adblock !. 🐻

Don’t block YouTube. Doesn’t do the one thing I need it to do.

Pretty good. Alright blocker.

Exceeding my expectations.. It’s had no effect on my download speed and works flawlessly in the background!!

“It just works”. Seriously, this app is all you need. Thanks

Hate it when it never block pop-ups. I’m trying to read in my account but it does pop-ups

Works well as advertised. I am sick of all the advertisements I get and BlockBear helps eliminate some of the crap.

Rawr. The App is so effective the authorities will be all over you once you use it. Grrrrrreat stuff.

Really cute UI. And works as expected

Works as advertised. 👍

Thank you TunnelBear for being the best. In the greatest app in the tech world, they keep your phone healthy happy and complete

BloakBear. Please update !!!

Did nothing for me. I installed it, turned in on in Safari extensions but it did nothing. Still lots of adverts.

Is awsome. It’s awsome and it’s free!🐻

Does nothing. Doesn’t work. Waste of time🙄

Review. It’s pretty good but sometimes (after 3-5 months ish) you have to go back on the app to refresh in order to make sure the adds stay blocked.

Not disruptive. Some ad blockers will make it impossible to open ANY links through emails, but this one still allows me to do that sometimes. Email links that do get blocked use trackers and the other stuff so I don’t mind those being blocked, but get annoyed when I’m just trying to open a link from a family member or something else that I do trust.

The best NON PAYING ad blocker!. Yes u heard me brotha’s I LOVE THIS SO MUCH, NOW MY TABLET WON’T HAVE VIRUSES!

Doesn't work very well. Removes ads on some sites but not all. It just leaves a blank area where the ad is supposed to be.

Also blocks innocuous icons. For example (with the extension enabled) on my local health unit’s website, the yellow triangle with inset exclamation mark (denoting “caution”) was replaced by the poop emoji. It took a moment before I realized that they don’t indeed have a sense of humour, but that Block Bear had gone overboard. Most other websites’ menu icons were replaced with rectangular place-holders… leaving me to tap them to reveal their meaning. Five stars for effectiveness against the things we want less of; two stars for making familiar symbols unintelligible.

Used to be good, needs an update. Currently does not block YouTube ads. I’ve tried everything, from disabling to re-enabling each of the settings to deleting and redownloading the app to see if there were any updates. I was very satisfied before since the app is very simple and they don’t bombard you with ads in the app. I just hope that the Adblock gets updated soon

Good for a free product. I wish to have more capability on some ads, they still occupy their space on some ads but blocks successfully, I wish to not seeing them occupying space at all.

Very good. Better then most of the app

Not working at all. Tried several months ,Nothing works

Will it get any further updates?. Really loved it, but last update was 3 years ago.

🐻Beary Effective. I bear good news, this works just as well as any other adblocker, and hastle free. Plus cool bears. Who doesn’t love bears?

Good app. It does stop the pop up ads on safari browser.

works as advertised. blocks most of the annoying content + bears 🐻

👉 Are you looking for an Adsense alternative advertising platform?

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Great Adblock app. Simple, precise and effective, it does what is supposed to do, it blocks all ads on my webpages, the whitelist function keeps the ones I need where i visit and they don't bother me much. Recommended.

Chrome support in the future?. It's a nice app, but I tend to use Google Chrome more than Safari, and it would be awesome if BlockBear could work for third-party browsers also!

Block bear. Excellent App works smooth blocks ads like it should so far Yes how about that we are mistaken said no I don’t like the but I love the app

Easy to Use and Effective. Simple controls and easy to add a site to whitelist. Very effective in blocking multiple avenues of tracking as well as bandwidth wasting “features”.

Excellent adblocker BUT. I had some pictures of salmon and honey downloaded on my phone, but they keep disappearing now! Must be a bug, but otherwise perfect!

Does what it says!. Great app. It’s simple and blocks ads. What more could you ask for??

Easy fast and works hand&hand with TunnelBear. The ui is easy the app is great and it fixed my only complaint with TunnelBear for not having a ad blocker

Unable to activate. I was so excited to download BlockBear and remove all those pesky ads from my life, but alas, once I had downloaded it and activated it, I found I was unable to enable it in my safari settings. I hope that this is simply a temporary problem, and that the Bear will soon be back in action devouring ads.

Does not work. Hasn't been updated in 4 years. This app does not work. I downloaded it anyway because hey--Same folks that make TunnelBear, right? This should be called Abandoned Bear. This app has not been updated in four years. To test it, go to a website that tests your ad blocker. It doesn't block most things. Deleting.

Awesome Program. Easy to use. Wish I had found it sooner!

The app is good l, I have an idea for it.. The is good but here is an idea. I wonder if you will add a list of websites you want BlockBear to block and make a way to block inappropriate stuff, that will be so good if you would do that, thanks.

Simple and effective. I’m Loving using Block Bear so far. It was easy to set up and makes browsing in Safari so much cleaner. My only complaint it is does occasionally make some legitimate content render weirdly.

Does not work. I still get pop up ads, pop unders and all of the same activity I had before installing this app. Nothing has changed in the least. I even uninstalled, reinstalled and turned it on and off in settings with ZERO change. It is a good thing it is free.

Mostly works. It mostly works but there are some redirect things I can get that I do not like. Also, not all ads were gotten rid of but 99% of them were.

Everything else is a waste of money. This app works. I have tried 1Blocker, BlockerX, etc. They just keep taking money from my pocket. This works.

Great. Its extremely simple and easy to use, also works perfectly for blocking ads and it's adorable!

The Bears work. They're awesome. They do what they need to do, every time, without fail. I've tried others and The Bears are among the elite. Rawr on my friends, rawr on.

Awesome ad blocker. Lately, I was having issues rendering certain websites due to the heavy influx of ads and add ons. I got this app based on the reviews and I couldn't be quite happy with the results.

Happy. Lots of choices out there. This one is free, effective, and easy to turn off of whitelist when you need it to.

BEARIFIC!!. Not only is the product great, the support is outstanding. I truly feel as if they believe in their product as it shows in how they treat their customers. I would refer TunnelBear to everyone

Would like some in-safari settings. If they are there, I can’t find em

Mistakes many links for “ycombinator”. Many links in emails are blocked, and when trying to unblock them it asks if I want to add ycombinator to the whitelist. But these are not on that domain. I generally have to copy and paste into the whitelist manually. This happens whether in gmail or the outlook app. Odd behavior

Broken badly, whitelist does not work, no longer maintained?. This app is badly broken, and it seems no longer maintained. It does not add sites to the whitelist via the shortcut and if you do it manually via the app itself it still ignores it. Every 5th webpage is completely broken and won’t load at all until you turn it off. Its sad because I really liked the simplicity it provided years ago.

Simple. Basic app is basic. Saves me a lot of memory and CPU usage without the need of using so much of it on my iPhone SE also saves battery life. :)

Fantastic. No frills, no complexity, no annoying notifications, no account, no price, no battery drain, no webpage slowdowns. Really superb. Would definitely recommend.

It works!. BlockBear actually removed ads where others have failed. Thanks.

Worked then Stopped. Initially the ad blocker side of the app worked like a champ. However, after about a month I noticed the ads were no longer being blocked, even after a reinstall. The one thing this app really needs is a cookie blocker or limiter.

Perfect for Safari. If your device is too old for the DuckDuckGo app/extension, get this instead!

Great app it works pretty good I would recommend this app if you need ads blocked.. Great app it works pretty good I would recommend this app if you need ads to be blocked

Works perfectly. I no longer get any ads

Does the job. Blocks ads and other annoying elements well!

Simple. Fast. Accurate. Just works.. Eliminates blank space from blocked ads. Sites load fast and look good.

Pop up blocking. So far seems to be working very well and it’s free

Less effective recently. Works a lot of the time, but in the past year, I’ve noticed more and more ads despite having BlockBear installed. I’m left wondering if BlockBear is still working on blocking ads, or if they’re just letting this app decay in usefulness over time.

Great App. So far, so good. Pages are downloading quicker and to my knowledge no ads are getting through. Pretty simple directions.

Amazing. This is a great app for the following reasons: i) It’s free which I absolutely love. ii) It has a simple ui. iii) It has good features and isn’t complicated to use like other extensions (looking at you hyperweb). iv) Lastly, it’s super cool, like the bear gets friendlier with less options and a sheep appearing when it’s turned off. Truly an amazing app, recommended.

Be a bear, not a sheep. Easy setup. Educational instructions for each option. I appreciate the extra flare put into the UI (bears vs. sheep). A utility that would otherwise be sterile and forgettable has been made charming and winsome. Kudos!

Works good. Seems to be working pretty good. Hopefully it’s stays that way but I recommend this app to everybody. 👍🏻

A Bear Necessity. The UI is simple, funny, and the bear blocking services are quite effective. I have a BlockBear on all of my iOS devices. Thank you for this app.

Maybe it works, but it didn’t for me. Maybe I didn’t give it a fair shake. But I enabled it in settings and in the app itself. Browsed four of five websites. No change in ads displayed. Toggled everything off an on once again and the result was the same. So I’ll take my shot with another content blocker.

TunnelBear companion app works good.. Safari proxy algorithm. Tor based. Like everything else that actually works. I highly recommend you use something!

Effective and delightful. This is the most efficient and effective blocker I’ve ever used. The interface is a delight, to the extend that i love showing it to other people.

Greatest Ad Blocker. Out of all ad blockers that I have used, this is the best one . No commercials or expensive fees. Worth every cent. I would invest in any app that the developer makes. Great job. Lady G.J.

Blocking Pop Ups. So far it appears to be working. Only installed it less than a week ago.

Great app! Works well from the start!. Installation was a snap. Very pleased. Have installed on all my family's iOS devices. Recommended to all my friends. Try it, you'll love it!

a must!. I enjoy watching movies without pop-up ads and faster browser because it also blocks cookies as well.

Very nice. It works well and it’s easy to turn on and off when I need to. I use it for both my phone and my iPad

Loving the bear!. This app has such a cute interface! Hahahah I just love opening it and seeing the bear doing his work! even the logo makes me smile:)

Better than paid content blockers.. Works better personally for me than paid content blockers. I've been using this on both my iPhone and my iPad.

Faster Browsing!. For the few times you may have to whitelist web sites, this app speeds up browsing significantly. 👍👍
