Seems ok but really not great. I 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 This could be a great app, but when you combine the outdated description with a lack of customer support, you get an app that leaves you with a feeling of complete disappointment.

Works great. Blocks most ads in most apps, even breaking some of features that require ads to load, which is just part of the arms race between adblockers and advertisers. I'd love to see enable/disable shortcuts integration with this app, so that I can have it automatically disable adblocking when I launch games that require ads to load for certain features, then have it automatically enable once I close the game.

Best security app for IPhone I have ever seen.. I am a software engineer and I see a lot of crappy VPN apps and adblocks, but AdBlock really took me by surprise. They host the VPN right from your phone, which means no laggy connections...ever. They are so secure that I have to sometimes turn it off because my Banking app needs some of my data. Regardless of what you are doing on your phone you will always be protected. With over 800 DNS proxy rules, you are behind the most powerful adblock/vpn system to ever hit the market.

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.

OUTSTANDING.. so far. I just downloaded this app this morning, and it has FLAWLESSLY accomplished what a myriad of other ad blockers (including some expensive and complicated to use ones) failed miserably at. I have not used this for long as stated, but so far, its thumbs up all the way! It may have been user error or perhaps some changes were made, because when I downloaded the app, either it or Apple told me I had used it before. I think it was most likely when I knew even less than my current minuscule level of tech savviness. Today, everything was so simple.. the app pretty much intuitively leads you thru the set up. KUDOS to the app developers on this one, and my humble apologies if I sent you a scathing remark or review previously. As well as this is working now, my tech ignorance must’ve been responsible for choosing to delete it in the past.

New Version SLOWS down everything horribly. When 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.

It once again is like a dream!. Probably all you need to know has already been written here by others, so I'm writing to share the wonder. With this baby, you will experience hassle-free app usage with little to none intrusive ads all through your iOS experience. Nonetheless, it could be normal for some very sneaky ads to get through, scarcely of course, still it’s a blessing to have an ad-repellent like this. It seems like the plague of ads has spread all over the internet anyways, thanks to our “trusted” monopolistic tech giants like Google and the nice innocent apologetic Facebook.

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.

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.

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!

Takes constant involvement. This is easily the best for iOS Adblocker out there. It works by moderating DNS requests according to a list that you compile personally. Note that this list starts out empty. While that might sound like a pain, or some kind of tech-heavy nuisance, all it actually consists of is checking the built in DNS log every time you see an ad. The request will usually have something in it that looks suspicious; that or it will literally contain the word “ad”. All you have to do is then tap “add to list”, and the ad (and all future occurrences of it) disappears. Because many ads pull from the same places, you will immediately notice that 90% of your ads have disappeared. Over the next 2 days, the remaining 10% go away, too. Legitimately works for every app, not just safari or browsers. Trust me, this is the best $2 investment you’ll ever make.

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

Almost perfect universal blocker. AdBlock is probably the most sophisticated blocker on the App Store, offering both, content and DNS based blocking options. Contrary to many of the more basic blockers, it allows to choose (and import!) blocking lists, making it much more flexible than competing apps. The only feature currently missing is a whitelist mechanism for the content blocker. Even if it does not affect the DNS rules, users could turn off list based blocking on certain pages (e.g. that they want to support) and only rely on the DNS blocker; or use content blocking only more flexibly.

Don’t hesitate to buy this. I usually don’t write reviews for apps because I’m generally not too impressed by most of them. In this case, however, I had to write a review. I started using this app almost a year ago and was very happy with it as it worked to block ads 95% of the time in my games, apps, sites, etc. Recently, Apple decided for some stupid reason that AdBlock wasn’t allowed to block ads in the way they had been doing after it had been on the store for probably a year or more. Why Apple did that is just plain idiotic after so many people paid for this app and the developer depends upon Apple not destroying their app. I figured this meant AdBlock would cease to function at all and I’d be back to ad-Armageddon on my phone. I’m glad I was wrong! This new DNS based ad blocking is phenomenal and in my experience it is now blocking all ads in every app I’ve tried so far, I don’t believe I’ve seen a single ad yet. The user interface is extremely well polished and the options are very flexible. The built in DNS logging inside AdBlock also allows you to manually block an ad if it’s not caught by the preset filters. All of this is to say, buy this app. I no longer have to sit through ridiculous 30 second long video ads in apps or have fraudulent pop ups show up saying my iPhone has a virus. The state of ads on iOS is atrocious and they seriously degrade the user experience. Thank you AdBlock for solving this!

Not blocking. Have had this app for a long time. Absolutely loved it. Just now stopped blocking adds. It is so disappointing. Reached out to them for help. They sent me a huge list of things to do. Not being computer savvy I didnt understand most of what they said and meant for me to do. Tried several gave up. It even said to erase the app which I did. Then I went to re download it saw the reviews. Too bad it has lost its awesome blocking power hope something else is out there.

Honestly Very Impressed. It It actually works. To be honest I really didn’t think it would. I don’t need another ad blocker app that advertised that it would block ads on safari and in apps, but after I spent 2.99 on it, I found out that it didn’t. This one on the other hand works perfectly. Simply search the Internet for “dns list future minds ad blocker”. You’re find a Reddit Page that links to list on github. (There are several so any that seem to be updated somewhat regularly will do.) Import that list and start the ad blocker. If the ads on the website or app you want aren’t blocked, simply enable dns logging on the ad blocker app, then open the dns log right after the ad pops up and block the links on the top of the list. Boom. It took me about 5 mins to block the stubborn ones. Most of them were gone as soon as I imported the list from github.

Flickers on and off. 4.5 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.

Great Ad Block. I’ve been using this app for over a year. It has worked well as it can block ads within apps. External proxy DNS lists can also be added to increase the number of blocked ad providers. These can be found easily online and only a url is needed to add them. There’s a built-in setting in the app to check for updates on these lists without you manually having to add them in. This will not block all ads, as major corporations have innovated new ways to bypass ad blockers. Sites can still detect if you use an ad blocker. What is blocked does speed up sites/apps.

Great But. Why has the app not been updated in over a year??? Works great overall, but there are bugs I’ve noticed with syncing to iCloud. Sometimes it does, other times the message just stays there “syncing to iCloud” without ever finishing. Also when adding rules to the dns blocker that contains characters not supported, generates an error message for every single url. Very frustrating! Please update the app!!

Works like a fading star. This 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

This app is great but sometimes you have to manually find ad domains. Most 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.

Really good ad blocker. Whenever I bought it I noticed it didn’t work and I assumed I just wasters good two dollars but after enabling some settings and messing with them I managed to make it work and no longer get ads on my apps and such. I give this app a 9/10 due to the fact that not much is provided to know what to enable and such but all in all it is a very useful app and I would definitely recommend buying it.

Best AD Block App hands down!. Best AD Block Hands down & Great support. Installed app and at first I still had a few ADs from different Apps. Support explained I had to import DNS rules for additional configuration. They had me to to settings>> import dns rules within the ad block app. They gave my a url and imported the rules into the 0.0.0.0 group as specified. I then launched all my apps and had not a single ad slip through. I could play games, watch IPTV apps/etc and not a single Ad! Best Ad Block App hands down!!

New update is the best version yet. I don’t use this app a whole lot, but I think it works well. With the older versions, I had to refresh the app every day, and the results were always mixed. With the newest update, it seems to work much better. I got the update, opened AdBlock and forgot about it, then after several days I noticed I wasn’t being interrupted with ads in other apps like I was before. As a test, I turned off AdBlock, and the ads were back. Obviously, I’ll keep AdBlock running from now on! Thanks!!!

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.

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.

It’s great. Even greater for pros.. This app comes by default with a browser widget that blocks ads. Works great with the preset block lists. It also comes with a VPN that blocks ads—but no presets for that. If you want to use the VPN, you need to find a “.adblock” list file (or multiple) on the internet and use the import system. After doing so, ads are blocked EVERYWHERE! My phone has a longer battery life because of this app. I’m happy, but some people may not be. If you are a “newbie” and blocking ads in Safari is all you want, no worries. If you want the VPN to work, you need some understanding of how to find, download, and import files on iOS. I hope this review was helpful.

Works like a charm for me.... This app has been serving me well for years. I was surprised to see a number of people are having problems, it may be because the app can a bit complicated if you're not used to it. I use both the Safari content blocker and the DNS proxy, and they use separate rulesets. Be sure to both enable filtering and toggle on the lists or rule sets that you want enabled. Also, I would suggest enabling DNS logging as you might see some additional URLs that you want to block. The app makes it easy to create a new rule from the log, so take a vantage of it. This has been handling both app advertisements and Safari webpage irritations well for me.

This app only works if you spend 3-4 hours to configure it properly.. People giving this one star are expecting an app where—once you launch it—spend five seconds to set it up. This app requires much, much more work than that. Each time you get an ad you must go into the DNS log manually to save that particular rogue URL to your personal block list. Eventually you’ll add over 1,000 entries to your block list and then all your ads will be blocked. I use this with Words With Friends and haven’t gotten an ad pop up in a month. Just know you have to spend hours configuring this app for it to work the way you want. I didn’t know this previously and therefore gave this app one star. I’ve now revised my review to five stars.

Disappointing. I 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.

Totally overrated. The 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

It used to work, not so much lately.. This used to be my favorite app because it did exactly what it said it would. Then an update happened and it started turning itself off and shortly after that, the ads started appearing. Maybe I'm not clever enough to figure out how to get it back to glory but you guys changed something and now it doesn't work like it used to. It's lame and I'm going to look into an alternate app that does what it says it will.

Not doing job. Update: 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.

The best mobile ad blocker. Works like a charm! I have over 14,000 ad domains blocked, this app handles even that many domains at once perfectly. Ads are now just completely gone from my phone, from apps that would normally have them in-app to the web. This app is also extremely advanced and versatile and can be used as a domain re-routing tool in addition to just a simple ad blocker as you can route any domain to any IP. I can also use this blocker service alongside my VPN, so it doesn't even prevent me from using a real VPN alongside its own VPN profile. The DNS log also means that if new ad domains spring up I can identify where the ads are coming from and then add them to the blacklist. Even has iCloud sync for your filter rules. This is the most powerful ad-blocking tool I have ever seen on iOS and is absolutely worth getting. Unironically 10/10 would recommend.

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.

Needs to updated ASAP. This app was great prior to the IOS 14 update, did what it was supposed to and was worth it for the price. As of recent however it can’t properly function alongside the newest IPhone update and will slow your WiFi connection tremendously across all apps that seem to have ads. This is easily proven since once I had disabled the app my wifi was as fast and strong as it was prior to the update. The only way to have it function currently it to leave your phone in airplane mode which I simply can’t do.

revised review. The last update put me back to square one. All my apps are now showing ads. I wish I could remove the update and go back to the previous version. (See below) Revised review: after sending a few emails to support, I received an emailing suggesting I make sure I’ve updated the app and my iPad. I thought my iPad was up to date, but it wasn’t. Since updating, Adblock is working 100%. Great support! Great app. Thanks, guys.

Worth the money. Purchased this for our iPad. Literally every game my daughter plays has ads that make her wait up to 30 seconds before she can continue playing. Not with this adblocker, they’re all blocked. I’ve been using this app since it first came out. 10/10 recommended. Google Adblock host files, copy the .txt url then add it to the app through the dns settings. You’ll be all set and no more ads!

Works great if you can follow instructions. I swear the reviews on this app are either five stars or one stars. All of the five star people clearly follow the instructions correctly and got it working for them like it should, and conversely, all of the compute illiterate have done something wrong, or aren’t used to configurations and vpns. One of the reviews that shows up in the “most helpful“ category literally says that they are a technophobe and that it should be as simple as downloading the app if it is truly made for iOS. Look, it’s not that simple, but it is pretty straightforward and the results are great. I turned it off recently, and was horrified with the amount of ads that show up on mobile sites. Also, it works for most in app as well.. They were some apps that I didn’t even know had them until it turned it off. The only thing you need to be aware of is that some apps play ads to give you “credits” (many of the free AI apps do this) and it seems to break that functionality. So I guess you can turn it off when you absolutely have to use an app with ads. Lastly, I am hoping this app is not abandoned. It is the only systemwide ad blocker that has worked for me and the last update was two years ago. It still works as it is right now, but eventually may become outdated. So download away people, it’s only a couple bucks and it is totally worth it.

Great Blocker, destroys phone battery. This 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.

I'm Torn. I 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.

Impressive Adblock for Web-browsing. This 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.

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.

SHOULD be as simple as downloading. As 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.

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.

No Cap This App Comes In CLUTCH. So…I was chillin at the gym (about to hit new max) and I was listening to music on SoundCloud and I got my like 5th ad it was on like over other song I got an ad so I went to see how much premium was and it was 10 bucks a MONTH and I was like Na na Na I am not gunna play no 10 Bucks(I’m broke btw) so I went to put on a free as blocker and that didn’t work so I got this one and I haven’t got an ad from then on so get This. Take my advice

Don’t Expect This to Help You Block Ads on Cellular. To 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.

New update blocks everything I want. Edited the bad rating and review after iOS update broke Adblocker. The new update does everything the developer promised! Even blocks ads on Tumblr, which have become UNBEARABLE. It’s nice to go through my feed and see not a single ad. Fingers crossed it stays that way for a long while! Apologies for my former review and many thanks to the people who worked their butts off to fix this problem (that wasn’t even their fault in the first place).

Excellent Ad blocker, but could use tutorials. I bought this app to prevent ads from covering every website I viewed. And it does an excellent job at this. However, there are a bunch of settings and add-ons that can be designated- such as creating rules, details involving specific IP addresses, etc.- that I’ve been having trouble figuring out. I’ve tried searching for information online, in general to content blockers and specific to this app, but haven’t found anything that explains these features clearly enough for me to feel comfortable tinkering with. If you could add a tutorial guide for these features- an index, pop-up, or a link- it would add a lot of value to the app.

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!

Blocks what ???? Yes it does. I 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

Continued brilliance.. Widget fixed ! Fab. Although, adblocker did stop working on my device again after the update. Worked perfectly once more after a fresh install. I’ll be automatically doing this after each update from now on. Still the only complete content blocker available for iPad, installed apps included ..... if peeps bothered to learn how to use it properly..... settings > import dns proxy rules > import. Couldn’t be clearer than that. Catch anything flying under the radar via dns logging... I’ve only ever had to add three sneaky ones to the list. I can’t believe how many clueless reviews have been posted. Brilliant app. Love that I can customise the rules to my personal liking, which is a cut above the first version in my opinion.

Phone freezing issues. Great app, my iPhone 7 Plus has been freezing due to this app. When I disable it my phone has no problems at all. Please fix this in your next update :)

Why. Still keep getting pop up ads on safari. For 2 days now. :(

Simply powerful !!!. The new update brings so many features & fine control. Enable the DNS log, look through it after loading an ad rich site & create rules from the log directly to block unwanted domains. Powerful! Also add the Prebake filter list (startpage or DuckDuckGo it) to the Safari filters to get rid of annoying cookie consent messages. Adblock team - THANK YOU !!!

It’s a scam. This 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

The best 2.99 investment ever. This app is amazing it blocks almost all ads everywhere.

Version 4 is awesome. V4 is great, much more powerful and customisable then v3.x. The best adblocker on iOS! Pro tip: if you upgraded from v3 and it's not working right, delete and reinstall. Had to do this on both my devices but no issues after that.

Adblock. Regurgitating 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”!

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

Unable to open app. To 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.

Utterly useless. Even 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.

Does What It Says. I rarely buy paid apps, cause most free ones do what I want. Had issues with Brave browser not opening or running web pages and was recommended this app. Literally works the same way on every browser I tried it on, PLUS has a VPN for extra cost AND blocks ads within free apps - like games that bring up a new ad between every level or round of play. Absolutely fantastic. 5/5

App is not working. The 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

Doesn’t work with VPN apps. Does 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.

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. 😕

It not work like I expected it to. I 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.....

Simple and reliable. It just works as intended. For a few bucks the app is great.

Not a good product - Don’t buy it. Yes 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

Crashes. Since latest update constantly crashes. No longer usable.

Adds getting through. Not sure if i have missed something but this app is not functioning like it was. Have sent support request, trying to figure out why.

“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.

The only app I’ve found to ACTUALLY block ads. This app works great. Browsing the web, or in apps that want to harass you with ads (my favourite feature)! I’ve never come across another ad blocker that does what it says it does. In future updates I’d love if this app could allow notifications if it switches off. I’ve noticed that when I leave a wifi network the app will sometimes switch to the red “stopped” mode and I’ll start getting ads again. Then I’ll realise what’s happened and open this app to switch the Adblocker on (super easy to do), but some apps are smart and then keep feeding me ads they must have already gotten onto my phone until I turn my phone completely off and on again and make sure this adblocker is running prior to opening the other apps again. So if we could be shown a banner or other notification when the adblocker switches off, that would be really helpful. The only improvement I can think of actually

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

Not working after latest update. This was a great app up until the last update. It has stopped working completely.

version 3.0.1 is the business. i recommend installing app admin if your jailbroken, and selecting 3.0.1 build version of this app, as it was the last version that setup a fake VPN before apple changed the rules on this great company.

Seems ok. I think I’ve gotten it to work, my only gripe is if I’m paying for an app to do something then I’d like it to be easier to use, not everyone is tech savvy and although I am slightly I still found it hard to use and confusing but the average person would struggle! Like I said it seems to be working for now and the option to automatically import doesn’t seem to work so I have to manually go and look for each adverts (which there are many) and create rules for each of them. Time will tell as I’m new to this app, the self righteous PR?,#$ above regarding you all as clueless doesn’t leave his basement very often

Excellent!. Just what I’ve been looking for!

Don’t bother. I 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.

Crash. The app used to work really well but now it seems like it keeps on crashing everytime I open it, please fix!

Good but disappointed. Reading it over and I was hoping to block pop ads and banners on other games and apps. Only works with Safari

Same as other apps. Doesn’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

Rubbish don’t bother. Always 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.

VPN icon. Why 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.

Works okay ...but. When 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.

still crashing after recent update. it’s still crashing with dns settings

Not doing what I wanted. The 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.

Best ad blocker and vpn ever. This ad blocker can block all ads on apps and browsers if you want it too, you can edit which ads are blocked and which aren’t. I bought this thinking it was probably a scam but it turned out to be the best vpn and ad blocker I’ve ever used. It is also insanely cheap and you don’t have to pay for a subscription or anything other than the app itself. GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The best way to block ads. I cannot go without it. I’ve been using this AdBlock app for a long time now, and it really is the best way to block ads. However, if you are going to download this application, you will need to be slightly prepared to learn how to use it. But I see it as a must have and simply the most effective way to block ads on any iOS device.

How?. How does FutureMind stay winning regardless of what Apple wants? They are so UNDEFEATED, it’s kind of disturbing

Battery Drains. Because Background activity battery drains

Val Morgan ads. Did you know that Val Morgan ads are slipping in under this ad blocker? It needs an update.

Disconnects Too much. Hi, 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

Hasn’t appeared to block any ads. Paid 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.

Current update doesn’t end. Current update just keeps going and going on iPad

Didn’t work. After 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.

AdBlock. Does not auto update after last update otherwise a good app

Update fixed issues.. Everything works great now, don’t touch it!

Works perfectly now. Works perfectly as an ad-blocker for ALL apps not just safari. It was broken for a while when Apple changed the rules on using VPNs but it looks like Apple has allowed them again because it’s fully functional now. I prefer this one to other competing apps because it has a clean interface, no subscriptions, and it doesn’t interfere with your internet access apart from blocking ads. Install this and make Firefox your default browser and you are good! Great work!

Doesn’t actually work. I 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.

Great App. Been using for a long time

Broken. App crashes every ~12 seconds, won’t connect. Worked perfectly for months

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

Doesn’t work anymore. I 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.

Stopped working after the latest iOS update. Everything worked until the latest iOS update 14.6. I paid money for nothing?

Works better than expected. Follow the instructions.

Massive battery drain. 100% background battery usage. iPad and iPhone are draining like crazy. Wasn’t like this before

Doesn’t do anything. This doesn’t work at all. How do I get my money back?? >:(

Excellent Adblocker. Blocks ads system wide. Don’t understand what other reviewers are complaining about. Everything works fine on iOS13

Still seeing ads. Spent hours on this and adds are still showing up.

Garbage. Does 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

Cube block. I haven’t been using the app very long but it got rid of the ads in Cube Block.

Itsme. Update and fix or i push a refund does not work as advertised

Doesn't work anymore. Paid app doesn't work as advertised when purchased

It works but with extra steps. Is 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.

Please update. Please update !!!

Best so far. Better than Weblock, Blockada, AdBlock One. Block ads in apps as well. So far so good. Will update if there's any trouble.

Doesnt work. Doesnt work

09/19/2020 app is working. The app is working you just need to follow instructions for set up and then import the dns rules to make it work. They emailed me when I kept getting adds and now it is working.

Fraud!. The support button doesn’t even work!!! Doesn’t work and no support. I want my money back now!!!

Waste of money. Garbage does not block in app ads don’t buy it

Amazing....Thank you !. Best app ever. Finally no more ads....and I get to control what I see on My phone. Once again thank you for making this!!!!! Well worth the money.

Blocks Nothing. No change at all. All ads still there.

Ad blocker. Its not working

Best app on here!!. You can’t beat this app, it’s a necessary item to enjoy these devices and well worth the $$!! People you have problems must not have it set up correctly and thus not working as intended. Thanks Developers

Stopped working. Worked well in the beginning, not anymore. No response from multiple requests to app support. Don’t waste your money.

YouTube ads. Apparently this app will block everything except YouTube ads, what a disappointment!!!

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

iCloud emails load very slowly. When 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.

Developer Makes False Calim. It's a scam some some money by not downloading.

so so. Doesn’t block YouTube ads which are the WORST

Still the best system wide Adblock for iPhone!. If you hate in app ads and invasive ads, this app is a must have.

Doesn’t work at all. Like others have said it doesn’t block anything or seemingly do anything. Should be pulled from store.

Added feature and removed feature. They 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.

For all the people saying it can’t block app ads:. You need to add dns proxy rules for it to do that. YouTube ads can’t be blocked though since doing that would disable the video player.

Don’t work at all Please don’t used ! Garbage. This 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 .

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

Perfectly Happy. Thank God !!

Only works with Safari. It 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.

Doesn’t work. I bought and still keep coming add after add that is a still

Update!!!. Thanks to the developers for keeping this app updated. Quick and easy to setup... and most importantly, effective.

Doesn’t work at all. Don’t waste your money there better free ones

Stopped working may 2021. Stopped working may 2021

doesn’t work. does not block ads on my iphone 6 and the VPN occasionally causes connectivity issues. i don’t recommend this app.

Doesn’t work. It doesn’t work on apps like twitch and youtube. Just wasted my money…

Abandoned. Way to bail. Not cool.

Too complicated. I 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

Working again at last. Since 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

Absolutely Amazing 5 Stars!. This product is absolutely amazing, when enabled and set up properly, it allows you to browse safari without any adds or pop up tabs. It’s especially useful for browsing anime and manga content on websites. The auto filters and presets allow for very easy setup. 100% would buy again if I had too.

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!

iOS 17, Like a Charm. Been using it for a while, great piece of software. I mainly just use the Safari content blocker. Keeps my browsing experience light and blocks those annoying redirects or new tab popups. Read the instructions please, go to Settings and enable the extension as it may be disabled by default. This is a set and forget.

It was good at first.. It works maybe 20% of the time. Bought this app to stop seeing ads in Imgur and it worked solid for maybe a few days. Now the app decides when it wants to stop being active and ads are in full force when active. I don’t use safari, so I guess I’m missing out on how great this app could potentially be.

v4 returns to blocking. Toward the end of v3, I thought I’d have to remove this since it wasn’t blocking anything. Don’t know why persons are saying this doesn’t block in other apps. I have two in particular I test AdBlock with and it’s doing its job wonderfully. One thing I’ve had to do is uninstall and reinstall it. I have a VPN app which was locked on. After deleting this and reinstalling everything is fine. Thumbs up!

Much improved.. I have to constantly re-enable it. Not worth the purchase. EDIT: The app has stabilized itself and I no longer have to babysit it for it to work properly. Ads are blocked well, and in cases where there’s still trouble, the support team is very helpful (speaking from experience). I retract my original sentiment — give the app a try!

👍🏻 now an excellent local DNS proxy tool. Perfect for those of us who want to both monitor and control which servers our devices are allowed to contact. The latest update now provides a DNS proxy log, enabling you to see which domains your device is attempting to contact and giving you the option of blocking them using a local, on-device VPN server.

It works.. I was doubtful but for two bucks there’s no risk so I tried it. What a pleasant surprise to find it works perfectly. Constant google ads in my FoxNews and FoxBusiness apps are now gone. Beautiful. Why anybody would pay a weekly or monthly subscription from another developer is puzzling. When it comes to ad blockers this has to be the deal of the century. Be sure to enable “enable the DNS proxy“.

Does what I need it to do!. So far I have been successful in blocking ads on my favorite games. Depending on the game you may need to do some tweaking. I do have one game that I have been unsuccessful at removing ads on but I think that’s because the game creator is wanting to charge a monthly fee to remove the ads. So all in all this app works great for most of my ad blocking needs!

Reduces click-bait faux articles/advertisements. Reduces click-bait faux articles/advertisements that consume cell data bandwidth while loading the ads and reduces my visual bandwidth required to see info I wanted in the first place. Some web sites seem to be mostly placeholders for click-bait ads. I keep the app in the background to easily turn blocking off, because some websites, that I trust, don't load with blocking turned on.

Works amazingly. I play those stupid, poorly made games that have ads every few seconds so I would usually turn off my WiFi or data but I got tired of that so I bought this and haven’t got an add yet and I’ve had it for about week and a half

Partially works. I play Scrabble and that app inundates me in ads. First I get a 30 second video ad, then a second ad that just sits as a frozen picture for multiple seconds before the X appears in different corners every time. This app gets rid of the 30 second video ad 98% of the time, but not usually the 2nd ad. Still worth it to save me 2 minutes of ad torture per Scrabble game. Without this ad blocker, I wouldn’t even want to play Scrabble.

Besides the price tag…. So besides the price tag, this app is awesome. It works for about 90% of all my apps. Reminds me of early 2000’s when all the apps weren’t overran with adds. Honestly, these days, people are just so greedy. I can hardly stand it. But this app makes it just that much more bearable. 5 stars.

Sadly doesn’t block ads. I’m giving it a five star because people Actually enjoy this and I didn’t wanna be that person who complains so far I haven’t gotten any ad blockings but I trick my fiends every single ad gets blocked when I have this anyways I still have it but I don’t get any ads blocked sadly but still cool app to have

Better. Changing the rating from 1 star to 3 since they are working hard to make this a good ad blocker. Had issues in past with battery drain and lots of unreliability but seems to have been resolved. They have been updating the app and improving more frequently which is good. Overall I’m enjoying it but ad blocking is hit or miss. It would also be nice to make it easier to import dns domains. I did this but not too sure if it is correct.

Does its job. I’ve used this for a couple years, and it works on both my iPhone and iPad. The first time you try to use it, restart your phone if it doesn’t start working immediately. If it ever stops working, open the app and turn the Adblock off then back on again. These tricks have it working for me all the time. Only drawback is I think it uses a lot of battery life.

Used to be 5 star app.. So I get suckered into paying for an app that claims to block ads, but over time the amount of ads I see has dramatically increased. Every single app now has full onslaught of ads, and I can now detect no difference in "on" and "off" I suppose the developers went the scam route like everyone else, charging people to block ads, then selling non blocked ads to advertisers. 1 star! Run away!

Blocks nothing!. I switched AdBlock on in the Safari settings but it blocks no ads - a circus of ads still pops into my face, including many pop up ads that obstruct the content, on every web site I visit. Paid $2 for something that doesn’t work. Under California law Apple has to issue refund. Taking my money for nothing is illegal. Someone should bring class action against Apple.

It Works 100%. For the price and what it does, this app is well worth the money. I got it several days ago and wanted to see if it worked or had any glitches, before I posted a review. Well, I haven’t had any regrets or trouble with it and I’m glad I bought it. Thank You, to the people who developed it.

App Rarely Works. The Support team has answered 2 of my emails with generic responses and generic instructions that I told them I followed over and over and it still hasn’t work. Yeah when I first installed it worked a little bit but did not work with other browsers. The app then stopped working overall even with the settings they told me to do, specifically the browser it is made for Safari. I’ve never been so disappointed with that app that supposed to be frequently supported and yet I get little feedback and ignored emails from the developers.

Amazing!. This is the #1 app on my device! I cant believe its free! No ideas now but i would pay gladly. Nothing gets thru this baby. I see in so many comments on vids and articles about "having to put up with so many ads, never watching your site, deleting", etc. . I tell all those poor souls "Ad Block" good for your sanity!

Works like a charm!. Does exactly what it advertises with a simple interface. Even blocks all those intrusive/annoying ads in games that nail them lower reviews lol. Although, that is also one simple problem. If you want the extra lives, coins, whatever, gotta remember to turn it off first ;). It works too well lol

Needs updating.. I think this app is slowly breaking with IOS 15/16 updates. If you enable too many Adblock lists it actually lets more ads through. I suspect there’s a limit of rules it can process. It also is a battery hog when you enable DNS proxy logs, but I understand that’s intended for troubleshooting the rules. I hope the developers got my IOS debugs if there’s anything to fix. For some reason it’s always showing up in my battery usage background activity, but perhaps that’s just how it has to work as it’s intercepting traffic with a local proxy. I still like it. I paid for it a long time ago and it’s very flexible. Thanks! But as Adblock rules change perhaps you can add support for more types of proxy hosts file formats (try to ignore the headers).

Disappointment: Blocks Absolutely NOTHING!. I downloaded this app just 2 days ago and it’s has not blocked a single ad (not one!!) when I’m playing catch up on streaming my shows. I have iOS 11 software installed on my phone, a good service provider (Verizon or so they say) and strong internet and WiFi signals. I just deleted it and am going to request a refund from Apple. It’s disappointing because I use the free Adblock plus on my laptop and my phone before I downloaded this one and that does a much better job. I’m going to re-download that.

Good...With drawback.. This is the best and most effective ad blocker you will find for free on iOS. It not only blocks ads in safari, but other apps as well. The only drawback I’ve experienced is it does slow internet down some. However, given its effectiveness, for me it’s worth it. That’s the only reason I gave it four stars instead of five.

NOT FOR IPAD. I was forced by Apple to update my IPad Pro to IOS 11.2.1 and it has increase ads on my ads many times over and I now get the annoying pop up congratulations you have won...at least 3 times a day. I bought this app with the understanding it works for ios 11. Well it does NOTHING to block my ads on safari or on third party apps. NOTHING. I followed the instructions, watched you tube to be sure I had done it correctly. I then went back and read more reviews. SURPRISE. Others with IPADs using 11.2.1 have the same problem. I am now removing the app and will make sure I read all reviews first. BUYER BEWARE.

Good app. It works really well for both system wide and Safari ad blocking. Importing rules also works great and after adding some urls I have basically no ads anywhere. Though it seems such a shame people are giving it bad reviews because they dont know how to use it properly.

No longer works. Every new update decreases the amount of the time the app works in the background. Let me explain. I have the app setup to display the ‘VPN’ logo on the top of the screen when the app is active. The VPN icon would stay for a few days during which I would see almost zero ads across all apps and websites, it was great! When the VPN logo disappeared, I would relaunch the app to continue blocking. The first update to V4 decreased the run time to about 24 hours. I placed the app on my home screen and got in the habit of launching it every morning. It was annoying but better than nothing. This latest update decreased the time to about an hour or two which means I have to launch the app every time I pick up my phone. This is unacceptable and not usable.

Runs Better Than You Did On Track Team. I forget I have this installed until someone mentions how many ads they see. Just checked and it’s here updated & running as well as always. I’ve had this for years. No complaints.

Add option to disable on specific WiFi networks. I’m tempted to delete this and just use 1.1.1.1’s app... their app allows you to choose to disable it when on certain WiFi networks. I don’t want to use Adblock dns when on my home, or a friend’s, network. Pi-hole blocks ads on my network. No need for this app at home.... I only use this app on LTE and SOME WiFi locations...

Keeps shutting itself off. When it's actually working it's fine, but it keeps shutting off its VPN proxy on a daily basis. I have to keep going into the app manually, at which point it reenables itself. No idea why it does that, seems to be related to handoff between cell signal and Wifi. I never had this problem when using the similar VPN function in Adblock Mobile so I assume it's specifically a bug with this app. Very annoying to have to babysit it like this.

Best adblock in ios. I’ve used this app for five years now. This is the best asblock I’ve ever used on any platform. It blocks all the ad, easy to use and manage. No weird bug or anything. You pay once and enjoy. If you know what you are doing you can do alot more with this app but just default settings works just fine as well.

Not worth two dollars. This app literally doesn’t work. The Adblock I had got removed from the App Store, so I had to buy this one. It doesn’t block any of the ads that come up in any type of app. It doesn’t do what it says it does in the TITLE OF THE APP. 1 star. I think that it doesn’t work because it turns itself off, because it goes to an x instead of a check mark in the middle

Tells you nothing. Incredibly user unfriendly. I tried to set this up for about 15-20 minutes and got nowhere. I had to go on Safari just to look up how to set this up. I looked at the website, watched the video. Even when I did that, I was left clueless as to how I was supposed to work this. I shouldn’t have to go onto a search engine just to look up how to set up this app. Unless this gets explained in the app, I am keeping my 1 star review. I do not doubt that this app works. It’s just very user unfriendly and I can’t figure out how I set this up even when I look at multiple sites just to do so.

4.1 is awesome. You can now search for a custom hosts file online and import it into the app through the hosts file's link in order to block access to thousands of ad/tracking/malware domains device-wide. This level of local DNS blocking used to be something impossible to do on stock iOS, so it's great to finally see an app that lets you do so. I would recommend creating a subgroup first to choose as your import location.

😡😡😡😡😡😡Completely wrong and does not work❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️. This app does not work I down loaded it and turned everything on and I still got ads on a game I play. The App Store took down “ad block” which worked fine and the only reason I don’t have it is because I had to get a new iPhone because my previous one started to fail. Upon downloading my apps onto my new iPhone I was told in a message when my phone tried to complete the download for “ad block” that it had been removed from the App Store smh I guess when the apps actually WORK!!!! They take them down smh. This is down real BS!!!! 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩

Updated review: Still blocks ads system wide. OK, I, like everyone, was freaking out that the update to version 4 broke the system-wide ad blocking. However, it still works fine, you just have to enable the local DNS proxy option and you're all set. New to v4 the VPN icon persists in your status bar which is not ideal but it's better than ads. In Safari, AdBlock performs like any other content blocker, like Purify.

SO GOOD, BETTER THAN ADGURARD. This blocker is so good that I must write a review. When using Ad Guard, everything needs to be set by you own, and it still doesn’t work well. On the other hand, when using this blocker, it block almost all the ad on news web, dictionary web, reddit, porn web, and even Duckduckgo without I setting anything. Love this blocker.

The best investment. This app allows for so many ad-ridden but otherwise good apps to be used it is insane. This is the most valuable use of your money on the app store because it allows you to play all those free games without in-app purchases but a lot of ads as if they were paid apps. This is an amazing app

10/10 BEST VPN APP ON APPSTORE!!!. works flawlessly on my iPhone running the latest iOS. I wish all Developers on all appstore apps worked as wonderful as this team does. Seamless updates and constant high quality customer service. Don’t waste your time with any other app! Adblock really is #1! How is this app not all over Tiktok? clearly the best! Highly recommend been using it for years and only gets better

Not impressed. I’ve been searching for an ad blocker since my old one was no longer on the app store. I was mostly looking for one that does it all because the others only cover safari. I’m mostly disappointed because it doesn’t work with pandora. With my old blocker I could skip as many songs as I wanted and there were no commercials. The maker stopped updating so I guess I’ll have to keep this one. 😕 it’s ok. But not “the best”. I’ve definitely seen better.

Pretty good. I usually don’t buy VPNs off the AppStore because most are scams, yet this actually works. It’s one of the better types of Adblock out there for mobile, and doesn’t just take your money and leave. It works well and I think it is a great for something at such a low cost. Only issue is forgetting to turn it back on.

Works Amazingly!. Make sure to properly set up content blocking rules under “Manage Safari rules” and you will be good to go. Also you need to activate it within Safari’s app settings under: Settings->Safari->Content Blockers. Lastly, any low reviews saying this app does not work is 100% due to user error. Take your time and properly set it up and you will be satisfied. Good luck!

It works, most of the time. First of all a bunch of one star reviews from people saying it doesn’t work is ridiculous. Set it up properly and it’ll work. Simply import the DNS rules and you will be fine. Since iOS 14 it hasn’t been allowing websites, and some apps to load properly.

Does not work.. I’m sure I’ve set it up right. But whenever I go online, I still see ads constantly. Please do not get suckered into buying this. They are either being paid to whitelist certain companies ads, or they are selling a product that doesn’t work. Either way, I recommend you spend your money on an adblocker that does its job.

Great app, thanks!!!. LOCAL dns server filtering ads, based on blocklists you pick, applied SYSTEM wide via a VPN configuration profile (to local device, not some sketchy DNS host). Yes there is a learning curve but half these reviewers are clueless/wrong on their statements. Reach out to dev if you need support, but this app continues to work perfectly for me. 2+ years worth of iOS updates, blocking ads system wide.

It’s become completely useless. I stopped using the app once Apple added restrictions on VPN based ad blockers. Recently, I decided to setup Adblock again and go through the process of Importing DNS list. I added a big list and that turned out to be a massive disappointment. The list had 58,000 DNS entries. Adblock processed them all. Now I can enable Adblock. It turns green for a second and then disables automatically. The syncing with iCloud is also stuck. I removed all the rules and deleted the app. Reinstalled it but the issue won’t go away, making this a useless app for me.

v4 Works Great!. I find that V4 absolutely DOES block ads in other apps, as well as in Safari. Go to settings, Manage DNS Rules, and be sure the toggle at right is On. You can tap and see the various groups of adservers being blocked, and the individual servers -just like in prior version. And the blocking is again properly staying active like it used to. Great job!

Paid for an app that doesn’t work. I 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

Needs to Be Updated. The app works for me very well when connected to WiFi only. It blocks ads in apps and when web browsing in Safari. However, it does NOT block ads for me when I am on cellular data. It’s practically useless and does not perform as advertised (with the exception of WiFi as previously noted). Also, this app regularly looses the ad blocking connection when left in the background, so I have to reconnect frequently. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE UPDATE THIS APP!!!

Functions exactly as advertised. This app does exactly what it says it does, allows you to customize a DNS proxy by blocking domains that you choose. A lot of people don’t understand that you have to import domains to blacklist, so they run the app without importing anything and they think that it doesn’t work. Adblock does not pretend to be anything that it is not. Definitely worth $1.99.

Do Not Believe the Hype. At first it seemed the app blocked the majority of adware but now, after several months of use, the software seems to be very selective in the adware it prevents. To be frank, I am greatly disappointed with the product. The exceptional reviews have no bearing on my personal experience with this product. Given that it is inexpensive, I do not fret over it. I have an IPhone 6s running on the most recent IOS and the app is up to date with the inclusion of proper optimization. Thus there is no reason for the product to malfunction like it has.
