****New 2019 bug alert**** My block list is gone and stopped working and I’m not able to re-block any website to start over and create a new list. As of right now I get UNABLE. Which is a new error message not allowing me to block any websites. (Yes developers, I’ve deleted/re-installed app, restored purchases, deleted/re-installed the VPN and wiped the block list AND I’ve restarted my phone.) I had the free version for a few years and was having the same issues with the blocked list disappearing and not working. I thought buying the app would put and end to the problem, sadly it did not. This app is finicky. It will only work for a few weeks. If I’m lucky, a few months. I have to check that the app is working several times a day because at ANY moment my block list will be gone and stop working. ***Unless you keep an eye on it, you’ll have zero idea that your block list is wiped and not working.**** Encrypted shows it’s still working, but the numbers are significantly lower when the site blocking stops. I will gladly change my rating to a 5 if these issues are addressed.

I do not know with this app when I blocked a site and when it is allowed. In activity it shows most recent tracked addresses with a rectangular box that says allowed. When I press the arrow next to the site a window opens in which the Term Blocked is turned on. When I save the site though, Blocked is turned off. This is very confusing. There were some sites that showed as allied that I wanted to block. specifically I wanted to block a site that had the term remoteconfig in it. Now I don’t know if instead I gave them custom permission to be on. You should at least have clear instructions for this app. I did not download it to make myself less safe.i could not find the information on the web. I will reverse my rating if this issue can be resolved.

Very disappointed to see crucial free features migrating to the paid version. I had previously been telling everyone about PrivacyPro’s power; it is a very effective firewall for keeping out trackers and ads while browsing and even preventing apps from sending tracking information etc. That power is now gone as the free version no longer supports user security rules. Clearly the free version was too powerful for its own good and made the additional vpn measures unnecessary—something I can confirm having tried out the paid version. I was thrilled with what the non-subscription version had to offer but without custom security rules, the free version is no better than the most basic Ad-Blocker but more user unfriendly since it has tons of unusable features until you upgrade.
