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

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

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