4.3 out of 5
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 AdBlock there were not a lot of ad-blockers available. And in... Show more

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 AdBlock .

As far as my mobile ad experience, I don’t even notice a difference when it’s on/off. I still get the same a... Show more

I'm Torn

I love AdBlock for it's functionality and features. However it drains the battery on my phone. It's a major major problem I habe with AdBlock. 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... Show more

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 AdBlock 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 emailin... Show more

Always turns itself off.

AdBlock 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 AdBlock 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 littl... Show more

Used to be my favorite app...

Before they changed the way AdBlock 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 this app because of the constant issues, I need to reset my connectio... Show more

Flickers on and off

4.5 is still not stable. When this app 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 ... Show more

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 this app won’t let you do anything until that sync is complete. Instead of waiting, and messing with a swipe interface, just give us... Show more

Totally overrated

AdBlock 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 d... Show more

meh.

Ok so, I downloaded AdBlock thinking it would stop the random videos popping up throughout the games I am playing. My friend recommended me AdBlock . 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 AdBlock removed many d... Show more

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. mobi... Show more

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 s...

Awesome when it stays on...

Loved AdBlock 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 wh... Show more

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 AdBlock run, so if I block that, I screw up AdBlock . I manage to find all ... Show more

Needs to updated ASAP

AdBlock 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 ... Show more

New update is the best version yet

I don’t use AdBlock a whole lot, but I think it works well. With the older versions, I had to refresh AdBlock every day, and the results were always mixed. With the newest update, it seems to work much better. I got the update, opened this app and forgot about it, then after several days I notic... Show more

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 AdBlock 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. Rece... Show more

It’s great. Even greater for pros.

AdBlock 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 “.this app” list file (or multiple) on the internet and use the import system. ... Show more

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. AdBlock 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... Show more

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 ... Show more

This is the worst application ever. I ordered it to stop pop-ups. Now, the only pop-ups I get are from Adblock wanting to buy their app. I have tried to contact them to no avail.

A far as I am concerned Adblock is a virus. It is a popup that interferes with my work, whether I have it installed or not.

AdBlock is horrendous, DO NOT ORDER! They hound you 10,12 x a day with POP UPS. I'd rather have the ADs,! Constant, relentless ATTACK of POP UPS. Do not SUBSCRIBE, they are terrible. They hound you, then you join and REGRET it, NO!
