It just works!. I just recently go an iPad and I’ve been trying my hand at using Safari instead of FireFox and Chrome. So far so good, but I realized that I’ve come to be very accustomed to the AdBlock’d life of browsing on my MacBook, so I started to look for a good AdBlocker. From checking the top apps in the App Store for Content Blocking, this appeared to the best one. So far it’s been working perfectly. I frequent blog sites like Gizmodo, and they have horrendous ads that expanding in the screen and take up like 1/3rd of the reading space. With this app, the entire ad doesn’t show up and all I see is what I want to see :)

Is Good, Stopped ‘COX’ page hijacking ad’s!. Works, & didn’t slow page load. 👍🏼 Been using Safari no blocker. Last two days started getting page jack pop up Ad across multiple web pages. Everybody’s favorite! “Dear Cox Customer”! (you have been selected by and for us to hijack this webpage)! You could maybe win a Walmart gift card and your IP address is this x-xxx-xx!

HIDDEN GEM ON APP STORE. This is by far the best-performing Adblock on iOS. I have tested most of the popular ones on the store and none have worked quite as smoothly with as small as a performance impact as Wipr. Load times are lightening fast and even ads in 3rd party apps that use the Safari backend are blocked (I.e. Reddit and the like).

Fantastic filtering with K*I*S*S simplicity. Have been using this on both IOS and MacOS for years. I appreciate the simplicity / lack of config options, as I’d rather not spend my days tweaking a tool. Works great, no config options - if you want to tweak things, this ain’t for you

Great simple app. I love how simple and effective this ad-blocking app is. It appears to have good privacy practices which I appreciate. It only weighs in at a few megabytes too. It makes me wonder why all the other blocking apps are so unnecessarily big.

So Far Nothing! Not Working at All!. The 3 stars are because I don’t know yet if I’m doing something or it’s the app’s fault. And I don’t know because I’ve had no response to my plea for help. I’ve done everything requested (as per app instructions) of me in trying to fix this and nothing, nada, ingenting, zilch … I’m so depressed at this point. This is the straw that has broken the camel’s back. One piece of tech after another is just flawed. It’s all crap and there’s no way around it. But you try anyway, you go online to find solutions and half way through the process the instructions tell you to go to a particular setting in the drop down menu and it doesn’t exist. Nothing is beautifully built, nothing works, fonts in pale grey can’t be read. I give up.

Love it on my Mac, just as good on iPhone. I’ve used several blockers and I like Wipr the best so far. Seems to block the stuff you want blocked without ruining site functionality. On macOS it isn’t as big a deal because you can reload a page without blockers, but on iOS it’s all or nothing when it comes to content blockers. I found I was turning off my other blocker too often so I could get various pieces of websites to work. I can whitelist, but I’d prefer to block as much as possible without compromising the usefulness of the site. Wipr seems to do that better than any other I’ve tried.

The best ad blocker - won’t try to charge you every time. Pay once, and use easy list ad blockers that are updated frequently whenever new updates come out. Wipr is hands down the best out of all The ad blockers. Very minimal, set it and leave it. The best part (unlike other ad blockers) the developer is not implementing a forced subscription service for more money, instead you are given the opportunity to donate in a monthly bases

The heck. I still get ads when I go on animesuge,and I use the Wipr button😶‍🌫️…. It still shows 3 pop ups everytime,you can see for you self. Just type animesuge and click on an anime And you see what I meant

Thanks for keeping Safari ad free!. This app/extension does what it promises. It was more than worth the low cost. If you’re a safari user, strongly consider this extension. There’s no configuration, install and block ads. They care about your privacy and don’t track you. The in-app purchase is a tip jar, so don’t feel sketched out by that! 10/10.

By far the best iOS Safari as blocker. I have a tried a few safari ad blockers and this one is by far the best. Way better than the “original” blockers that I have used for years. They also have a Mac safari app that works equally as well on the computer.

My fave out of them all. ✅privacy-conscious ✅works well, never breaks ❤️‍🩹need to open the “app” now and then to ensure iOS does not stop it from auto-updating (maybe the developer could send a reminder alert once a week to keep the app “alive”?)

Superb blocker. Exactly as advertised (pun intended). Too powerful for me.. Frequently and lovingly updated Easy Privacy block list, just as advertised. If you want an ad blocker, or if you want to avoid user (your) tracking, then unequivocally, THIS IS IT! Superb in all ways. Unfortunately for puny old me, I can’t handle the strength of its protection and find I must often disable then re-enable the filter for my important stuff (medical, financial, legal…) so I have decided it is far more important for my efficient work simply to remove it, devil be ******.

Highly recommended! Are use on my MacBook Air, iPhone, and iPad. I’ve tried many contact blockers. This one is the best. It respects your privacy and doesn’t read anything from your browser window – for example usernames and passwords etc. I use this on all of my Mac products and I’m very happy that the developer is keeping it up-to-date with iOS 14.

Highly Recommended!. Saw a lot of people on Reddit and here recommending this app and decided why not try it and it’s great! Definitely worth the purchase. Does exactly what it says, very easy install and then you never have to worry about ads again. $2 is a very fair price. Thank you devs!

Work around for other apps. This app works very well in Safari (as stated in the info) but not at all in other apps. This work around has worked well for me. I use the Flipboard app (I like the app formatting better than the Safari Flipboard version) for reading news and nothing I’ve found defeats the 5 to 10 ads in each story I try to read. Ads are so intrusive it is difficult to determine what is an ad and what is the story without close scrutiny. TRY THIS. In the Flipboard app Find a story you want to read. Click on the box with the up arrow (at the bottom of the screen). On the bottom row of the pop up, select “Open in Safari”. Read the story ad free, then click the “Flipboard” in upper left corner of the screen. I assume this works in other apps but have not checked. Another hint. While you have that pop up open, click on the “...” option and move “Open in Safari” to the top so that it shows first in the pop up That way it will appear first when the pop up opens and you don’t have to scroll to find it.

This is the one, period.. First of all, thanks to the developer for the great job. This is the best ad blocking software I have ever used on my mac and iPhone. Seeing “Wipr does not have permission to read or transmit content from any webpages” statement (for macOS) in a multi-filter featured (iOS and macOS) and automatic filter list updating enabled (iOS and macOS) ad blocker cannot be exchanged for anything else. As best of my knowledge this software is the only one which capable of doing this in both platforms (iOS and macOS). I do not care of personalization settings, custom lists, rules, or whitelisting. I just wanted an effective ad blocking software that the developer of it does not track me. That’s all. And after all, I found it!

Great app! Must have for safari!. Super easy and clean interface. Occasionally open the app to check for updates but otherwise it’s 100% needed for iOS. Recommend to everybody.

100%. A+ and 100% Awesome!!! This literally is the only extension that blocks 100% of all ads. After thorough testing on website Adblock test sites. The best I could was 93% with other extensions. After disabling those and using this one. It’s now 100% and with only one extension. So sweet! Please developer continue to improve this and don’t let this go to the way side. I bought it and now I believe in you. Dont let us down. 😎

Phenomenal | Just Works. I’ve been a longtime user of Adgaurd, but I recently noticed that web pages were taking significantly longer to load *without* Adguard enabled, which seemed silly. So I went on the hunt for a new ad blocker, and Reddit brought me here. For the low price of a couple of bucks, Wipr has immediately fixed all of my problems. Web pages load at lightning fast speeds again, Adblock test websites register 100% coverage, and I couldn’t be happier!

Works a treat. Honestly so glad to have found something that works. The wiper extra stops Reddit from trying to redirect to the app (which I don’t have anyway, the reddit app is horrible). Other than that, great for those recipe sites which fill the entire screen with ads and are borderline unusable. This makes the web so much better, and the one time price is absolutely worth it.

Accessible with voiceover, and only pay once.. The an app purchases are just for tipping purposes. They don’t enable extra features. This is a good thing because it means that you’re $2.0 or so gives you permanent access to all features in the app. Best of all for me as a screen, reader user, this developer cares about Accessibility and everything works under voiceover on the iPhone anyway. If you have questions read the FAQ. they’re extremely thorough, it’s great documentation.

It works!. I’ve been using it for about five months and so far it works well. What I like is the fact that it runs in the background and updates automatically. Don’t have to check it unless you want to. 👍

Install.... ...and forget. A great content blocker that actually works, doesn’t interfere with videos, and clears the page of all blank spaces left behind by ads. And it’s all for free! Make sure to support this developer by donating a “tip” through the app!

A++. Does everything it says it does, seamlessly. It’s initial activation is about the easiest thing I’ve ever had to do to get an app up and running. And, since activating it, I’ve quite literally had to do nothing to keep my webpages neat and clean - since Wipr does all that for me in the background - out of sight and out of mind.

Easy and just works. Ok, I have used Adblock for years. They have problems with newest Mojave Safari, so I tried a few others (Mac and iOS) UBlocker never seemed to do much even though it is highly rated I have tried Ghostery but after reading how they sell used browser data I removed it 1Password looked promising with so many options. Filter lists are not updated other than with a new version is 1Blocker. In addition some of those annoying video pop up add would get past it. Wipr seemed too simple, but it works great. You can disable filtering using Safari rather than Wipr itself. Automatic updates to the filter lists. It my new iOS and Mac add and tracker blocker!

Works great 99% of the time. Been using this for a couple years now and it blocks *mostly* everything, the only major exception being pop-unders — where clicking a link opens it in a new tab, but an ad will load in the original tab. Aside from that I haven’t found anything else that this app doesn’t block. Very light on resources too!

Get this APP if you want real AD blocking!. I am incredibly pleased with this App. Only hiccup I encountered was trying to turn it on after downloading. It took some investigating but I figured it out. For an IPhone you may encounter this issue where toggle to turn on Wipr is greyed out. If so go to screen time settings and restrictions- content restrictions- and change internet content filter to unrestricted access. Then you will be able to turn on toggles to authorize Wipr. Afterwards you can go back into screen time settings and content restrictions and turn back on your desired content filter for browsing. Hope this is helpful. Final note, I was using Norton Ad Blocker prior to this and I found theirs annoying that it still displayed empty screen space where ads were but just didn’t show content. Seemed to limit loading speed of images. I love Wipr in comparison. Not wasting time loading empty squares on your screen. Browsing is much quicker. And I have terrible service reception where I live.

The best ad blocker, period.. i have tried a lot of ad blockers available on the App Store over the past many years, and I settled on wiper over a year ago. are used it on my iPad, iPhone, and Mac. I have come to the conclusion that this is the best ad blocker available right now. In addition, the developer respects our privacy by not collecting any data.

10 stars. What a hidden gem! At first it didn’t work. Safari ads are still popping as heck, but after sometime, or rather after updating the app for for a few times, it just suddenly worked. No more annoying ads.

The best option. Agree with all the other five stars. This is, hands down, the best ad blocker available on either iOS or the Mac. Literally is set and forget. Updates the block list on its own and actually works. If you want configurability, this might not be the one for you but if you want to just put it on your device and forget about it, this is definitely the one.

The Real Deal. Hands-down the best as blocker for iOS. It’s legit, the developer supports it and you know he won’t abandon it out sell you out, it’s very efficient yet unobtrusive. It also does not block non-ad site elements. Plus there is a Mac equivalent on the Mac App Store, so the great experience is consistent across your Apple devices. Can’t recommend Wipr enough and I wish more people discover it and use it over all the abandonware, bloated, aggressive and/or ineffective ad blockers the App Store is full of.

Works great and is simple to use. I’ve been using this app for years. It blocks probably 90% of ads. Very simple to set up and use. Easy to white list sites. I think people who are saying it doesn’t block any ads are forgetting to go in to safari’s settings and turn it on.

Have to re-purchase for every device.. It just so happens that I’m using my iPhone to find safari extensions, primarily to use on my iPad, and bought this thinking “cool, I’ll just install it on my iPad next time I use it”. Well I go to do so and there is no download option, rather only the option to purchase the app again, ergo, single use license even though there is no such mention of this in the apps listing on the App Store. This is extremely scummy and I’ll be requesting a refund and purchasing an alternative. Would rate zero stars for this alone if I could.

Get it and forget it!. This app is perfect if you want to clean up websites without doing any work! I just paid so it would keep working on my Mac after Apple changed the way Extensions work in Safari 13, without hesitation because I just want this to exist and continue to work (yeah, there's one for the Mac too!)! The developer's stance on privacy is very much appreciated as well! Buy it, use it, and if you ever doubt you needed it, disable the extension and surf the web and see how awful things are.

Works great, no complaints. I've been using Wipr for macOS for a while now, but a very outdated ad blocker for iOS (hasn't been updated in 3 years!) As such, it wasn't doing a stellar job these days. Having been happy with the macOS version of Wipr, I decided to double dip -- 2 bucks is a small price to pay for clean, simple web browsing. Very happy with the improvements over my outdated ad blocker. Works great, instantly, and doesn't seem to have any impact on performance whatsoever. Ads (nor their placeholders) even get a chance to render. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

Really love Wipr! Always come back.. Every once in a while, I wonder how some of the newer competing ad blockers stack up to Wipr... I try them for a few days, and usually notice an extra ad here and there. And then I come crawling back to Wipr! Most importantly, Wipr does the best job of removing the blank spaces where ads would have been. Noticed that Wipr hasn’t seen a new update in a while (still works perfectly however)... wanted to thank the dev and hope it’s still in development!!

Working. My original review: “Perhaps I am missing something, but I followed the instructions for how to enable the extension in safari permissions. Restarted safari, still seeing ads everywhere.” Now I refreshed Wipr and it’s working great on Safari on a news website with aggressive ads.

This. Right. Here.. This is an INCREDIBLE ad blocker. It does everything you want and then some. I honestly cannot remember what ads look like on safari on my iPhone and MacBook. I would pay for this again if I could. The developer also constantly updates this. It’s well worth the money. Buy this today. You won’t be upset. I promise.

The best simple and effective adblocker for safari. I use Wipr on my iPhone, ipad and Mac and it works great. Simple and effective. Database is kept updated in the background so it's always up to date with the latest rules. Can't imagine browsing the web without Wipr.

Best ad block in app town. I don’t understand how or why other ad blocks are lacking. I don’t even remember how I stumbled onto this ad block. It has been one of the few and only apps I’ve ever paid for and has been the greatest investment for my iPhone experience.

Works Great. Wipr stands out as a robust ad blocker for Safari, delivering a seamless browsing experience by efficiently eliminating ads across all websites. It’s a dependable solution, especially for users seeking a reliable alternative to outdated blockers that no longer perform effectively. Such as Crystal, my prior AdBlocker.

WIPR wiped the ads!. Thank you developers for this app. My iPad Pro 2020 was awash in ads after I downloaded iOS 15.4. Maybe it killed my old ad blocker? I don’t know….not a techie. I was horrified😳 by the number of ads…..yikes! 99% solved instantly with WIPR thank you so much. I read in my pre purchase research that WIPR plays well with iOS devices and it’s true. Effortless install, no password/email to fool with either….❤️WIPR.

I’m obsessed with Wipr. I’ve tried a few ad blockers. My most recent one was complicated to configure originally and was starting to let a lot of ads together. Wipr is super simple and just works! Now I’m obsessed with how fast websites are. I’m also obsessed with trying to find a website that Wipr fails on!

Phenomenal replacement for UBlock Origin. Like many I was bummed when UBlock Origin got pulled. I tired 1BlockerX but the dev screwed over the user base by sunsetting the “legacy” app and going to a subscription or $40 price tag. Great extension, and much better to use native Safari website setting to disable content blockers rather than an app. Super light, super nice.

OUTSTANDING. This is literally the perfect ad blocker for me, almost like it was tailor-made. NO settings to fool with, NO interface, NO anything. Download it, turn it on, forget it. Wipr has done a fantastic job so far, and if I ever do encounter a website or page with a problem, I can temporarily disable Wipr or add the site to a whitelist. This is exactly how I want ad blocking to work. This little app should be $10-15, not $2! Congratulations to developer Giorgio, who also provides excellent and personal support via email.

Stopped working. It worked for about 12 hours. Woke up and it’s stuck on trying to download updates. Says please check internet connection. Update: come to find out it will not update the list if on cellular. I connected it to my WiFi and it updated fine. Maybe a bug? Another update: does not update over cellular. Only WiFi. So if I close the app completely and have to reopen it I better hope I’m on WiFi in order for it to clear the update message. Deleted app.

This works very well!. I’ve been using many other content blockers; some that did more than I need, and some that don’t get updated regularly enough for sites not to break. I don’t feel the need to keep looking after using this app. In-app updates for the content filters twice a week - plus it focuses on removing ads and protecting my privacy. One thing I would like to see is some text indicating the last time the rules were successfully updated so I can be sure it’s working in the background.

Hidden Gem, Highly Recommended!. Update: New MAC version is excellent as well! Give it a try! The only thing I would like to see eventually is the ability to add rules or add an element hiding option for users to add their own rules. But overall my original review still applies, highly recommended! This is the most versatile and usable content blocker on the app store. It is fast and efficient without breaking the content. This one also does not leave any whitespace when blocking ads. I use Wipr on iOS as well as OS X. The developer is also very helpful and responsive. I would recommend this blocker to anyone who wants faster browsing, without breaking pages. 5 Stars

Quite Simply..THIS DOES NOT WORK :-/. When you see such a high ratings and consistently positive reviews, you would expect the app to live up to the hype or in this case, one simple basic function. All this app has to do - is block ads - and it does not or cannot do that - at all. I would love to know what websites these positive reviewers are using because they couldn’t using ones plagued by any modern ad-tech which is indeed pesky but not impossible to defeat. uBlock Origin is hands down the best ad blocker of all time. I actually want my $2 back :-/

Disappointed. I believed the hype but it’s all BS. I chose to replace another blocker to get rid of increasingly invasive ads served by Google and this app does NOT WORK to clean up sites that are increasingly unreadable. SkyNews au and related sites are wall to wall ads. Really disappointed, guys. Disappointed in Tom’s Hardware more so for the BS review that led to the purchase. The web is just a sewer.

Best ad blocker. This app works wonders to keep ads off of YouTube, the developer should be commended for always updating , I had my first ad on YouTube and in less than 48 hours after notifying the developer they had an update and once again YouTube is ad free, thank you kaylee

Not THAT great. Adguard Pro is better, but seems to be immune to website pop-ups pleading to be white-listed. Ads still popping up with Wipr, but at least gets rid of white-list whining.

Does what it says on the box. Having used it for a week Wipr seems to do the trick. The ad blocking is very effective (better than Crystal). It is hard to assess the tracking, but it appears to work. Thanks for the great app.

Best Adblocker. Blocks ads on every site I go to including YT(turn on Wipr Extra). Regular updates and does the job

No longer blocks YouTube Ads in Safari. No longer blocks YouTube pre-roll ads in Safari. Used to.

Fantastic 😀. Best adblocker bar none!!!!

Decent.. I have to use this in extension mode as well as AdGuard together in order to fully block YouTube ads.

Doesn’t work. Still have ads popping up everywhere.

Excellent App. I have Wipr in my Mac and it does a great job. Got Wipr for iOS and it is one of the essential apps for your iPhone or iPad

Better than AdGuard.. I’ve been using AdGuard for some time, but I had troubles with it from time to time. For example I started encountering “Disable your adblocker” banners a couple of days ago and it seems I can’t do anything with them using AdGuard. I’ve enabled all settings, all lists, nothing. But with Wipr it just work, no more banners, amazing! For what it costs it’s a royal bargain, I hope developer(s) will continue the great job!

10/10 app that actually works. This was suggested to me a while ago and the small payment was actually worth it because the app does it what does

Works for YouTube. Wanted to find an adblocker which works for YouTube. Just enable the Extra part of the extension too and you have ad free YouTube. Keep up the great work!

Must have. Does what it says. Add DUCK DUCK GO . Add NORDVPN. Now Tim Cook is protecting the people from the usual suspects.....it is a “Wonderful Life,” surfing the Web. PS every now and again I donate some small change, ie beer money. Remember nothing comes from no where. It takes talent and dedication. Wanna be free.....just take the first step ! Ronnie

Doesn’t block google banners or ads.. As per title. Will ask for a refund.

Works so well .... Works so well it’s easy to forget how annoying it was without it. Great, silent and unobtrusive. Thanks to the developer/s

Simply perfect. Wipr on iOS and iPadOS is, simply put, perfect. I’ve used Wipr on the Mac for years, and have been impressed by how well it works and how unobtrusive it is. Setup is easy and the effects are visible immediately. I’m particularly appreciative of the Wipr Extra extension which has been great at removing ads from sites like YouTube. Always happy to support great software and independent developers.

Superb. Works perfectly definitely worth it

Amazing blocker!. I bought this on my MacBook, it was so good I bought a copy for my iPhone. Blocks ads perfectly, unlike others that can stop the function of the website, there’s no issues with this app. Also super lite and not a hog. It’s great to finally get a GOOD ad blocker app. The few dollars spent are well worth the investment!

Best app you can possibly buy for this price. This app is the most underrated thing you can install on your phone - it lives in the background undetected but makes such a huge QoL increase. Highly recommend.

Impressive ad blocker. Tried this ad blocker expecting another disappointment but actually very impressed with it, easy to set up and doesn’t require me to disconnect my vpn. Blocks ads where most have failed, great piece of software thanks

Excellent. Perfect functionality, could not recommend any higher. 💮💮💮

Waste of money. Just paid for the app after trying many others that didn't work, and the first site I loaded was full of ads.

So far excellent.. I’ve been using the same app on my Mac Laptop and it’s been great. I had to replace the AdBlock blocker for Safari which was consuming a ridiculous amount of resources (memory and cpu). This app is tiny yet as powerful. I hope I’ll get the same experience on my phone.

Does what it says. Before installing there were about 5 ads on the bottom of a page I was on after installing and setting up I reloaded the exact same page, it loaded faster and the ads were nowhere to be found and there were no empty spaces where they used to be.

The perfect, safe, way to block ads. This works incredibly well. The web is a faster, cleaner and safer place with Wipr preventing so much JavaScript and ad related content from loading. I use Wipr on the Mac also, and again, this is much better than a extension such as Adblock / Plus. Such extensions can read everything you put into a website - usernames, passwords, the lot! Wipr simply blocks content on the list, and never reads my private information. Who could ask for more? This app deserves widespread support!

It just works. Perfect for the price. Turn it on once and it works

Used to be great. Used to be great and I gladly paid for the app on iOS and Mac but recently is no longer blocks YouTube ads and frankly doesn’t work at all lol

Simple and it works. Very simple. Use it on my iPad. No issues. Blocks adds.

Absurd. Maybe it’s me but this app doesn’t block any ads on any site I frequently use. Absolute garbage

Does Not Work. Tried for an hour and only worked on one website and only if I open the page after I fully restarted the Safari app. Very disappointing. Seems like Apple has fully limited the way ad blockers app works in iOS; however to charge user to block one webpage is just terrible.

Hmmm.. Seemed to work fine until recently. Always have to restart it on youtube yet now won’t block the ads.

Doesnt block youtube anymore. Pass.

Works but Reddit website is broken. On Reddit website in safari, can’t scroll down when wipr is active. Have to disable wipr to continue. Otherwise ad blocking works quite well.

Mostly ok. Mostly ok but doesn’t block “promoted” ads on Reddit. Seems like iOS is a big red flag that says advertise to me!

Great app backed by a good developer. Easy to set up and updated often. Blocks out many annoying ads including advertisements, sponsored or otherwise, from YouTube. Had a problem with some ads showing on a particular website and Giorgio (the developer of Wipr) was quick to reply to my emails, and worked back and forth with me to troubleshoot. Wouldn’t hesitate to contact him if there’s any ads showing on a site you frequent, as he seems to care about updating his app to suit his users needs. Great job and wouldn’t hesitate to purchase over the other ad blockers!

This one works. Seems to just work. At least for blocking ads on news sites and the like. Not sure about the other stuff or use cases. I briefly tried a few other options before this one, none of which did the trick, so I was pleasantly surprised when this one did. Worth the price.

Fantastic App. I've been using a variety of free ad blockers for years and while some work better than others, none of them work as well as Wipr! I'm always hesitant to spend money on an app in case it's a dud and I will never pay a monthly subscription for any app but this is simply amazing. So impressed with it that I bought it for my iMac as well as my iphone and ipad. Was a bit fiddly getting it up and running but well worth the few minutes it took to figure it out.

Review. Good application, would recommend.

Youtube ads no longer blocked by wipr. Does not block youtube ads.

The best one. Lots of ad trackers out there for iOS, most of them don’t work and a lot of the ones that do charge your first born as a yearly sub cost. This is a one time charge (plus tip if you’re feeling frisky) and it works fantastic, set up is a breeze and it hasn’t slowed down my browsing at all.

YouTube and Twitch not blocked. Don’t waste your money tell YouTube and twitch ads blocking gets fixed. The FAQ has had this YouTube issue up for months yet nothing has been done to fix it.

Doesn’t block anything and breaks websites. Really frustrating that this doesn’t block any popups or ads when it’s a paid app. Often breaks websites as well and there isn’t a whitelist option.

Not blocking any ads. Paid for this ad blocker and it’s not blocking the ads anymore

FINALLY.. I've tried the rest, and now I use the best. This Safari content blocker doesn't break pages and actually gets regular updates to its block list. It also doesn't beg you to enable notifications like Purify does. Speaking of Purify, it's list is woefully out of date and includes none of the updates needed to fix issues that I personally reported. With Wipr, I don't have to report things that need blocking because they're already blocked!

No nonsense, get it!. Super simple to use, affordable, works perfectly almost every time, friendly developer.

Top notch on PC and mobile. Absolutely love the “set it and forget it” approach to this app. Been using it on PC since the initial launch and I’ve never had to consider an alternative.

Update. Working now! (Previously useless on IPad). I am cautiously optimistic. Users be prepared to read the huge FAQ, sent bug report. Importantly, for worst advertisement offenders in safari, click the puzzle piece button in the url box and turn on Wipr extra. It seems like this app is a labor of love for one small developer, so I’m happy to change my rating. It’s not perfect out of the box, but it’s a huge relief when it works!

Works great. Thank you!!

Fantastic. Great on the Mac, just as good on iOS.

Install, block, forget. Block it all, no settings, no ads, no trackers, no intrusion from the app. Unlike other tracker and app blockers this extension doesn't ask for permission to see what you're doing, and doesn't let "unobtrusive" ads through, it doesn't even ask you if you want. Literally just install, block, forget.

Great App. Inexpensive - works well - updated regularly - highly recommended.

The One & Only True Blocker!. I’ve been using this app for a number of years with bunch of others! Most of them either switched to subscription or stopped updating their apps! As I started getting rid of others, I noticed this app on its own, thanks to its super active developer does it all by itself. FWIW, a few times I emailed developer about some web sites that learned new tricks to show Ads - in less than a day got a response from him and promised he would take care of them! And, he did! Highly recommend try this app. You won’t regret your decision.

The best. Blocks all the ads!

Great app. Does its job well

Working as intended.. This is a no nonsense adblocker that delivers exactly what it promises. No acceptable ads nonsense either. Just a clean, fast browsing experience with no intrusions. Block list updates are frequent enough that once ads start creeping through it usually means I forgot to download the latest list. 5+ stars for outstanding service.

Doesn’t work even after paying. Paid for it and YouTube ads still appear. No refund offered either. Definitely a scam.

No longer works. This app used to be great, but it no longer blocks YouTube ads

Best Ad Blocker. Almost no configuration, auto updates, no mistakes, no ads.

The only app that doesn’t slow down safari. With adguard and the others I would get the bugged back button and lots of freezes and slow downs. This one blocks everything and safari is super snappy. Been using it for months, I am super happy with it.

Worked for awhile. Google is way way way more powerful than you…. Doesn’t work….non stop ads constantly…useless…. If I could give zero stars, I would

Perfect. Worth it !

Wipr. Excellent app and easy to use. It is a must to enjoy using the web.

Good. Good

Not great. Blocks some ads not all, in order for it to work effectively you have to turn off privacy settings essentially allowing whomever has access to see sensitive information. Doesn’t work at all for the YouTube app as well, constantly have to refresh the app.

The best adblocker for iOS. I can’t believe how cheap this extension is! After countless hours spent searching for a way to block ads on iOS, I finally stumbled upon Wipr. Most of the other adblockers tried to sell you a monthly subscription, had some sketchiness, or just didn’t even work. Wipr was extremely simple to use and directly integrated into Safari so you don’t have to setup a brand new browser either. I’m glad you can enable Wipr extra on specific web pages too, so you can have some peace of mind that your info is safe. Props out to the developer!

Does not work. Does not block anything really. Terms and conditions pop ups on every website are still coming up. YouTube pop ups and previews still play. Since installing and paying for this service I have not noticed any improvement in my browsing experience. Not worth the money until a manual block list is installed and the end user is allowed to designate the offending pop,up and have it blocked. Do not download. Do not pay because just like everything else it promises a lot and delivers little.

Outstanding. Annoying ads in Safari have you scrambling for screen real estate? Wipr wipes those ads away giving you clean content to enjoy.

Straightforward and does the job. Great app. Thank you.

Best content blocker yet!. I've used crystal, purify, distilled and 1blocker. All of them had some problems. Crystal accepts bribes from advertisers; purify broke many pages; distilled didn't block video ads, 1blocker didn't block sponsored ads. Wipr on the other hand, was able to block every ad, without giving any rendering issues. This is hands down the best content blocker yet. I look forward to future feature addition by the developer. Oh, and if you are a Mac user, wipr is free for OSX.

Excellent. Excellent app, unobtrusive, reliable and updated regularly.

Great iOS Safari blocker. Great iOS Safari blocker

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!

Doesn’t block a single ad!. Please don’t waste your money on this awful app/extension! It’s completely false advertising. It has not blocked a single ad for me and things seem to run slower with it enabled. AdGuard is much better, but still non of the ad blockers on the App Store do much of anything in the way of blocking ads. If only apple would allow true extensions and browsers without WebKit rendering engine.

Twitter ads and cosmetics rules. Amazing content blocker. Hope it can block ads on the Twitter site and add more cosmetics rules removing empty spaces left behind by ads

Hands down the best content blocker there is. No fluff, no confusing menus, just works. I’ve tried them all - used purify for years, Adblock pro, 1blocker, and this is by far the fastest, most complete, and well made.

Was Only Good At First. For the first few weeks this app was great which is the only reason I’m giving it 2 stars instead of 1. But today it just stopped working (June 27, 2022). I’ve tried turning everything off and back on again but adds keep popping up. I loved it at first but it’s being pretty crappy right now.

Works!. Definitely worth 2$! No more ads on my favorite sites or pop ups that will open another tab. Love it!

Be wary. Sounded good, reviews were good, so I thought I’d give it a try. Don’t bother, as near as I can figure - even following the very short set up steps - app doesn’t do a darn thing except take up space. Doesn’t block ads, pop-ups, banners or diverts. Save your money, native apps on your phone will work better than this particular app.

Not a bad app at all!. Giorgio Calderolla came up with a smash it here! Light weight, always up to date. No issues here! Keep up the good work bro!

Reviewers were not lying!. Noticeable difference between before and after installing this app!

Even better!. Still the best content blocker - simple, lightweight, and an incredibly responsive dev. The new background refresh system is wonderful; no more manually opening the app to update blocklists.

Love this app. It's nice for when I am mainly using safari and it has the best ratio of simplicity of setup and the effectiveness of the ad blocking. Great all around.

Want my money back. I download this for Safari on my iPhone. Still getting pop up ads, the” lady parts” still flopping around, still getting things that pop up and take me from safari directly to the App Store .it’s doesn’t not work don’t buy it . I want my money back.

Perfect!. Been using WIPR for quite some time and it has been perfect all along! Highly recommended!

Yes Kaylee, for the love and patience you put into this great app.. Your app has cleaned up my newsfeed wonderfully. Faster and cleaner and without those annoying flips to topics unrelated to the content I want. Thank you very much!

Best thing ever. Now I can read my manga in peace without pop ups directing me to other sites

Works. Initially wrote a bad review because blocking wasn’t working at all. Only to realize I needed to open Wipr after enabling it in setting to update its block list. Smooth sailing now.

Amazing results!. My overall online experience has improved. Smoother; fewer ads popping out to irritate me. It seems magical!

Feature Request. Purchased Wipr today and so far so good. It seems to be working well. Would it be possible to kill and block Google AMP links so search results just take you to the normal websites?

Easy. Incredibly easy and definitely worth a single purchase. Premium convenience

Not impressed. I have had other blocker apps that were FREE that worked better than this. Still the same spam in my personal email account related directly to browsing or petition signing, what not, and then it spreads————/——Waste of the measly 2 bucks. I’ll just start forwarding to Gmail, which has much better “blocking sense”. Oh, and the developers never answered my feedback email. The moral? Those you don’t want any contact? FIND YOU. Those you do want to contact you? IGNORE YOU.

Really works!. I’ve tried several ad blockers and this is definitely the best so far. It cleanly blocks ads and makes browsing much faster!

This App is Amazing. Blocks all the ads and pop ups , it does actually work and it is really fast . Worth it !

You’re pretty good. Works well, blocks most ads without interfering with what I want to see. Doesn’t like to update automatically but once a week I open in and refresh and things are fine. Love the Mac app too. Thanks!

Best ad-block period.. I’ve tried them all over the years, but Wipr is on a different level. Thank you thank for this app, and thank you Apple for allowing extensions like these.

Excellent. Get’s RID of the “empty spaces” of blocked ads. No longer have to see a spinning loader for each blocked item. Distractions eliminated. Still testing, but highly impressed with functionality thus far.

Supah hot fire. I tried like three different ad blocking apps this is the only one that works thank you

Worth every penny. Love this adblocker. Came back to leave a review to show my appreciation for the fact that it's not subscription based. Mac version is fantastic as well!

Maybe needs an update?. Unfortunately did not work for me for blocking ads on an anime website even with auto updates turned on. Had an easy setup process though, on the bright side!

Awesome 👍. Last update now works almost perfect. As far as content blockers go, this is by far at the top of the pile. Been using AdGuard for the longest time and now I use it as my backup to Wipr as Wipr is lighter and faster than AdGuard. Crossing my fingers the Mac version works just as well. Thanks!

TRUSTWORTHY APP. I have come to realize the importance of this App with being a Trustworthy Friend watching over me👍 Do download and use to keep your phone running with dependablilty👍

Waste of time. With Wipr installed, I could not close out of the “Fast access to Google” banner from a search. The developer dismissed my issue as they could not reproduce. After trying to explain the steps to reproduce, they responded that they did exactly that, and further explained that “Wipr isn’t a fix for bad web design.” They also noted how a similar experience to google’s works in duckduckgo, and suggested that I reevaluate my search engine preferences. I installed AdGuard and am not longer experiencing the issue. Waste of time more than money.

Wipr now brings a pop up banner. (Fast access to Google) banner constantly shows on my safari. I tried everything to make it stop and couldn’t until I deleted Wipr. It was also glitching safari. Faded links, blank pages and inconsistent black and white mode. Fix this! I paid for this to work and it use to work great. Now creates problems.

Excellent App!. Love me an app that does exactly what it says it will do, and then it just sets back and gits ‘er done. Obnoxious, in your face, bouncing, flashing interference in your web browsing is now obsolete with Wipr. Excellent!

Wow. The app just needs to be refreshed and up to date with the click of a button. Safari-extensions-

Beware Privacy Issues. This app says it doesn’t collect data however when I pull an app privacy report on it it shows the app contacting iTunes, Apple, the app developer Kaylee’s website, and several others. That’s highly questionable for an app that claims it doesn’t collect any data.

Save your money.. Lots of hype. Doesn’t live up to its claims. Ads appear everywhere they did before perhaps 98% of the time. If you want to throw your $ away then buy this app. It’s interesting to note also how the developer doesn’t respond to critical reviews. That alone should tell you that they have no interest in fixing the problems this app is exhibiting. This app is total garbage. Caveat emptor!

One of the best ad-blocker Safari. If you want a no-fuss, highly opinionated extension that works right out of the box, Wipr kicks it out of the park. A few issues here and there but nothing major.

13 Pro (iOS 15.x). I don't know what's better, the app or its privacy policy. Both are exceptional and meet the gold standard. Note: It's just a great on macOS.

Great developer!. This Is the best adblocker for both iOS and macOS. The developer is super responsive. If you find a broken site or a site that has ads that should be block, he is prompt to get it resolved.

Works great but no longer passes Cover Your Tracks. I love the set it and forget it way that Wipr works. However, it now shows only partial protection on EFF’s Cover Your Tracks test where it used to pass with strong protection.

Great adblocker. Love the app, been using it since day one. One question for the dev, tho: is there a way to see when there’s an update/refresh available? I find myself going into the app and hitting automatic refresh to see if there’s an update. Thanks!

Effective. The most effective adblocker I’ve tested for iOS while also having the most simple app. Great work

Wiper is the best I’ve tried. Adding Wipr to Mac and iOS devices has given me a cleaner ad free interface. I wish it could be available to control other apps which serve annoying ads.

Super great Adblock 99% of the time.. For some reason a rare handful of webpages will not load at all when using wipr (example, the Discover Card 5% cash back calendar page) but beyond those rare hiccups it’s probably the best ad blocker out there. Well worth every penny.

The Best. I dumped all my other Apps that claimed to block. This App is the best for such a small price. Love Love!! I even got my husband to purchase and he is a hard sell. Keep up the good work and thanks for this wonderful protection.

Tried them all and this is the winner. Thanks for the work you put into this app and for your focus on privacy. Great work!

Awesome job. Seriously good software. Love that he keeps it updated. It popped up in my Safari Extensions in iOS 15 and was reminded why we support developers with paid apps.

Changed from 5 to 1 star. For well over 2 months now WIPR has failed to block ads on multiple sites and it just doesn’t take this long to add a patch for that! I wouldn’t waste the money when free version’s literally do the same thing that this guy charges money not to do!

Amazing, Top Notch!. This content blocker is clever and effective. Awesome support from the developer and a cool design never hurts. Anybody who's a little disappointed by the rejection of multi-app ad blockers should give this amazing Safari content blocker a try. It's definitely top notch!

Efficient. Works excellently, quietly and truly without ever needing input. Can’t remember the last time I saw an ad against my choice. My adblocker of choice.

Just works. Tested and working even on the tube player app (can’t have them scraping to find this so won’t use full name).. love it
