AdGuard Pro — adblock&privacy Positive Reviews

Simplification improvedUpdate mid-2021: Still lots of features, but now the tool is easier to use. I still don’t know what I’m clicking on, but luckily it doesn’t matter. Just turn it on and let it block all the things. Original review (pre-2021): It works well for months and then suddenly it stops working. This is so annoying. I want an ad blocker that just works. This ad blocker gives me so many options and buttons to click. I don’t want a two day tutorial to use an ad blocker. I want it to just work. Where the heck is the easy button for this thing? Why do I keep using this frustrating tool that I shouldn’t have paid for. 😔.Top score tasticVersion: 4.2.0

Power-User FeaturesThis is the most comprehensive ad/tracker blocking solution I’ve ever used (I’ve used many other “content blockers”... WeBlock comes close but lacks some of AdGuard Pro’s key features) The ability to choose from a variety of block lists has proved to be very useful. I found the best combo of lists for my needs after a day or two of internet use. The system-wide privacy module is great as well (the VPN feature). I’ve only enabled the three suggested hosts lists (might be overkill) and I notice that many of my apps now exclude ads (like banner ads in Pandora, Speedtest, and games). Best of all is the ability to see the log of what connections my device has been making in order to diagnose which additional ad/tracker connections I want to block. It’s also great just to see how many trackers I’m avoiding now! I’ve been told trackers slow down overall load times so that’s a major plus. Only downside for me is with the speed of the custom DNS service choices (which isn’t AdGuard’s fault). I was really hoping the Google DNS or OpenDNS services would help with response times, but I’ve found that sticking to the default system DNS option yields the fastest page response times, so I don’t use this feature. Overall an amazingly feature-rich application which I couldn’t live without on both my iPhone and Mac! Highly recommend..Tyler_zycoVersion: 2.1.1

Adguard ProI had been using Adblock by Futuremind before I have had a chance to find out about this one. Be honest with you, I have never had any issues with the Adlock, and it was working like charm, till I get to try it with a Vpn connection. For some reasons I needed to use a Vpn, and once I did it, the Adblock stopped blocking the ads. It was kinda annoying. Adguard Pro has so far coped with my expectations. I haven't seen any app I currently use has any ads in them. Even if I connect to a Vpn server. So far, I am really impressed by the developers work. I hope that the team is gonna keep up with their hard work in the future as well. I suggest this adblocker to anyone who wants to have a reliable adblocking app which blocks Safari and in Apps ads, and wants to use it even when they are connected to a Vpn network..SysworkVersion: 4.2.2

LOVE IT! Only thing I ever worry about is my VPN and AdGuard colliding.Absolutely amazing!!! I’ve tried pretty much every AdBlocker on the AppStore. (For mobile use) and ADGUARD is without a doubt years ahead of the rest. I use it with NordVPN and have tried it with Norton Secure VPN. Both worked fine together under single tunnel mode. The only doubt I’ve ever had, would be if they’re both actually working fine. Both connected, NordVPN shows no signs of malfunction either. I also use both on my Desktop as well, since they’re both (NordVPN and AdGuard ) different and have + features on Desktop. I would like to know if the the security features would cancel each other out, especially since I already have Mcafee security on my desktop. For the moment I turned of AdGuard Security, and NordVPN Security. Just in case. Anyway, Overall! AMAZING!!.Johnny_Mack08Version: 2.1.1

Only apple store security program I trustFantastic app, literally the perfect position when it comes to having a ton of advanced customizable settings/features without it getting out of hand like say Surge. Only two gripes; not enough group resources where I can see people openly discussing iOS settings and tricks. Secondly, the AdGuard pro browser extension has broken basically all of my web browser pages when it’s installed, and since I don’t have a token/account page on AdGuard because it’s a Pro purchase. I can’t seem to delete the user rules without them somehow getting backed up. I also wish you could set the endpoints for the vpn tunnel as well, get a lot of sniffers sometimes but everything else in the app is fantastic!.NicobeandeanVersion: 4.2.1

Nip in the bud with DNSThis app is powerful and you will likely see that some of your applications stop working right away. This is a good thing. It will help you to filter out the services and companies who don’t properly respect your privacy and data and question whether it’s worth it to continue using them. Since it uses DNS the request is stopped before it ever starts, dramatically cutting down on processing time. You will find that there are a staggering number of trackers in the wild, and who knows where they all lead to at the end of their supply chains. With this app you will at least take a big dent out of that activity in your life. I was also able to apply to my wife’s phone using the shared app functionality. Highly recommended and worth every cent..CDiAKingVersion: 2.1.1

Is great program and Adguard support Top notch H 🔥🤝Have been using adguard for years. Not only is the product spectacular at blocking adds and more. But the customer support is always able in lending a hand too. In with either email or the Laden in with support. So for this I thank you all. Also make note you can also block adds in with other apps too so it's been definitely a win for me in with that and my personal privacy too. Thanks again for such a splendid product. Edit: as late has gotten semi worse. As well the app is a wonderful app. But lately is is and us gotten buggy like a hack. On other notes. The company and dns is the best out. It should work hand in hand with other applications..Swhutchin26Version: 4.4.4

Probably the Best Blocker/Filter AvailableI found AdGuard Pro several years ago after trying several other ad blocking apps. Personally, I do not mind ads so much (except for ones that move or the ones where they are inserted in the article you are reading & you have scroll down to get past them) but what really bothers me is all the STALKING some sites do (I have 3rd party cookies turned off & still used to have cookies in Safari from Facebook & Google — cue “Every Breath You Take” by The Police). Since I started using AdGuard Pro (I create my own filters) which I can export & copy to other devices (e.g. my iPad & my computer) I am seeing a lot less tracking cookies in Safari. If there is a downside to AdGuard Pro it is that some knowledge of the “innards” of web pages is required. Please do not let this scare you off because you likely have a family member, friend or an acquaintance who can craft a filter for you. I know I do not fit the statistical profile (I am 71 & place a very high value on my privacy which means I took the time to learn how to create the necessary filters.).Steve-of-indianaVersion: 4.4.5

Does work but sometimes not sure what it’s doingI love this program it blocks lots of harmful sites but sometimes I’m not sure if it’s doing anything but eat up resources and holding internet connections and ports open. I know just enough about networking to really screw something up but at the same time I can also recognize when something is suspicious. There are some days I’m suspicious but their reputation is impeccable so I’m probably just paranoid. In the name of security it does make some convenient links stop working but you can choose if you want convenience and your data stollen or security and a little more typing.BenfishingchartersVersion: 4.1.0

Why Change the GUI?So speed is enhanced, but why change the Graphic User Interface? There used to be a nice, clear list of Standard AND encrypted Servers, also notating their location (Country or even City & State for some). It took me a day to find an encrypted server — I gave my data to the world in the interim... I can’t find a tutorial, though one was there after the “update” — Seems every time I choose an update, I loose both security and functionality — I wish I would have not taken the update that had Apple’s new 1984 restrictions earlier in 2020, not sure if I should have taken this one... At least it seems faster... Hope it continues and the “skin” is improved for functionality. Thank you for caring about privacy, though....What_aboutBobVersion: 4.0.2

It’s easily the best, but that battery consumption…Possibly more than any other app on my i-devices, this one has made the most impact. AdGuard Pro makes every online activity so much speedier and far more enjoyable. For its functionality, I wish I could give it 6 stars out of 5. But what’s up with the continuous battery consumption? AdGuard Pro never stops draining the battery. I use my iPad, for example, two hours per day. But AdGuard Pro uses it 24-7. Can’t they make the app do its background battery use only when the device is awake?.The ContinentalVersion: 4.2.2

Unsure About UpdatesThe pro add blocker on iPhone XS seems to work for most adds but some walk right through it unrestricted. I noticed every time I hit the green circle ⭕️ refresh button 5 filters update. Doesn't matter if I did it 2 seconds ago. Every time 5 filters? Leads to lost confidence on my end. I also noticed it tracks the number of blocked add attempts. How big can this number get without auto deleting the count that most likely takes up space. It leads me to say I am unsure about the real effectiveness of this product. For example, on “Smart News” it’s still tons of adds and pop ups all the time. Perhaps looking for something more solid is now on my list..20932120123Version: 4.0.4

A GREAT & ESSENTIAL APP!I had my first experience with this wonderful app on their other, subscription based version of the app simply "AdGuard" and ever since I've been hooked! This app is a total game changer! I, for one, have never minded unintrusive ads on my device, I even accepted them as a necessary evil to keep free services.....ya know....free, however, when they get in your face and demand your attention or acknowledgement in some way that's when it's not okay. -- this app helps correct that. You can even customize and refine the filters to fit your every need! Has an admanaged to slip through all your filters? Then you need only look at the logs the app provides and with a little deductive reasoning you can find the offending url and block it! I honestly can't find the words to express how amazing this app is, but I can say they could charge double the $9.99 and I'd still have bought it and felt I got more than my money's worth!.DpwnZVersion: 4.0.4

Won't get past "Loading filters into Safari"Was using this app. Used to work fine. Now it won't even get past the splash screen where it loads filters. Restarted app, cleared RAM, and even reset phone to new device. I don't even use safari but I can't access the vpn settings now. Thanks a lot. EDIT: even though fresh install of iOS didn't help, resetting network settings fixed it. Then it came back. And resetting network settings fixed it again. So I just won't be able to auto connect to wifi anymore at this rate.......CryptoCombatVersion: 2.0.2

Abandonware ??Unfortunately, this app looks like abandonware. After reading on their website about all this app can do and the warm fuzzy reviews on the App Store, I purchased the app. It works very well. Then I discovered an article on their website with this statement: "AdGuard Pro for iOS (still usable but currently is not subject to maintenance/improvement updates)". They could have been a tad more truthful up front about their current development plans in the description on the App Store. Let’s hope they continue development..HeyrobtVersion: 2.1.1

Used to workI can’t remember when I bought a permanent sub to this app, but it was a long time ago. Over time I started noticing more and more ads popping up. Websites where I knew ads were blocked were suddenly showing ads again. No amount of refreshing or app updates fixed it. I never figured out how to manually block ads either. I’ve tried other ad blockers and found the same issue, so maybe it’s a widespread problem. In any case, I deleted the app and am using the Brave browser now. It’s not perfect but it’s blocking the ads that Adguard Pro wouldn’t..YehlVersion: 4.5.2

Apple has to ruin everythingThis app I was so glad I bought. System wide ad blocking was nice. Now, sadly no more. But within Safari, it still blocks ads 100%. It is still worth the purchase. I really do hope one day they figure out a way to bring back system ad blocking. It isn’t AdGuard’s fault that Apple has decided to make up rules just because it isn’t getting ad revenue from users of this app now. It however is a great app for decluttering Safari. No more ads in Safari at least :).Nerdygothguy420Version: 2.1.1

Spent some time with itAfter spending some time with it, I think the app is great and only suffers from some a few problems. The new update especially put it above the rest with hosts file/subscriptions feature and the dnscrypt servers. The major problem I’m having with it is that some requests can bypass the blocking when disconnecting and switching over to another to another network. Requests are also able to bypass the blocker when manually blacklisting requests in the dns logger. If not for this, it would be 5/5..Legato Bluesummers!Version: 2.0.2

Same issue as Grayson with iOS update.Just like Grayson’s review I’m having the same issues with connectivity lately after the latest iOS update to 13.4.1. I have tried the same thing like toggle on and off Airplane mode, switch to my other WiFi networks, etc. It will work right away as soon as I disable AdGuard Pro. I don’t know if it’s something within the iOS update or something AdGuard hasn’t updated on their end. All ads in apps are showing up now :-( I’ve also removed all other Ad Blockers within Safari and setup via VPN profile to make sure there is not conflicts..0@tmealVersion: 2.1.2

Really good, just one bugI don’t do too many reviews but i really like this product. I considered it because i wanted a premium Adblocker. But I didn’t want to get sucked into paying a subscription to get it. I would definitely buy again. The only issue that i run into is it will randomly interrupt my internet connection when using the smart DNS. All i have to do is reset the DNS and its fixed. But if someone could look into that it would be great.DdmigetVersion: 4.4.4

Best adblocker!When AdGuard is on, I cannot connect to the internet at all. I had paid for this app and it’s now unusable. Using AdGuard’s DNS, I cannot connect to the internet at all. I even restarted the phone. The other DNS servers provided doesn’t block the mobile ads like AdGuard’s DNS. ETA: there was an issue with their DNS that was affecting everyone. This really is the best adblocker around because it not only blocks ads in the browsers, it also blocks mobile ads!.F Your NickVersion: 4.4.4

No longer works since the last updateUpdate: seems like it’s working now. I uninstalled it and reinstalled from the App Store and I haven’t had the problem since! When I try to use the ad blocker it simply disables my internet since the last update. I tried removing the VPN profile and re-adding and it still doesn’t work. So sad because it was great for a few years and now I doesn’t work. 😭.JonnyVibesVersion: 4.3.1

Good but 1 issueThis is great app that does exactly what it says. The premium version blocks more and adds a vpn feature to block in app ads. There is just one issue, when the vpn feature is on, it logs every single site you visit and ad sites you didn’t visit. There should be an option to turn off all logging as this is a massive privacy issue. Yes, it is possible to reset the data, but it is better if the data is never collected in the first place. Hopefully the devs make the change. Until then I can’t use or recommend the app..ThatPersonWhoWritesReviewsVersion: 2.1.2

Great app with two suggestionsThis is a great app, the dns logger is incredibly useful when you’re trying to nail down where an ad is being loaded from!! It would be a great improvement if it was able to sync (via iCloud) all of your config from one device to another. And the only other thing I would like to see as an improvement would be the ability to manage (delete/re-install) the vpn profiles the app creates..Ryan-HVersion: 2.0.2

UPDATE-Working AgainThe Adguard Support Team has fixed the issues Apple and Facebook have tried to stop. Facebook is the WORST app for clickbait and malicious pop ups. Apple should be more worried about that than an app that helps iPhone owners. No more popups saying "You're A Winner" or "Your Phone Has A Virus." If you hate ads, clickbait and malicious pop ups GET THIS APP. It has been fixed! If you have an issue Contact SUPPORT for Adguard Pro! I did and so far it has paid off..BlueoysterdvpVersion: 1.3.1

Easily the best Ad & DNS blocker...also open sourceLike a lot of you I’ve used several add blocking tours, AdGuard is extremely through, well maintained by its developers and open source (on github). I can’t say enough positive things about it. Two bucks is less than a MUNI/bus ride ticket. Btw, incredible UI...powerful good. I only wish it could use iCloud to sync settings, custom filters, etc. BTW, I did like the old UI more but I’m slowly learning the new one. Thanks AGP dev’s!!.PavewrldVersion: 4.0.3

5 Stars All The Way.This app is in a league of its own and is not just your ordinary ad blocker. This app has a list of Free And Private DNS servers you can choose from. It tells you where the servers are located and what the servers actually do and the protection each one provides. This feature alone makes this app stand out on its own! It is a ad blocker with many options and controls. I can not say enough about how powerful this app is!.Iosfan4lifeVersion: 2.1.2

Great app for blocking ads and adding dns over httpsOverall this app is very well thought out and has great features. The dns setting is great but does seem to show minor, but sometimes noticeable slowdown. Feature Request: please add a pin to the app’s dns settings. This would be helpful for parents that want to prevent kids from disabling the family friendly dns service. Hopefully Apple locks down the VPN toggle in the future too..ScarboroughfamilyVersion: 4.3.1

Keeps blocking basic functionsFor example today it blocked the app store and the other day blocked discord. Not sure why it keeps blocking normal services then lets other suspect services through no problem. I have pretty standard filters and definitely all of apple is in the allow section. Not sure why the app store is being blocked. I go on the app and nothing is red. Apple is full on green yet it is being blocked. Please fix this random blacklisting of normal services..MusephotosVersion: 4.1.1

Great programI have used this program for many years. It has always done what it is suppose to do. I have used the extension on all my browsers. Now that I have iPad generation 7, I love their safari browser, but felt it needed protecting. I am glad that aguard is here. It does the job just right. Getting rid of the popups, the adds, and many of the intrusions. Keep up the good work, it is worth every penny..AnyeotVersion: 2.1.2

Curious update...I love the potential of this app but the latest update added some worrisome issues, such as disabling the dns filter every time you add a domain to the block list. Not good for people fighting spyware. Second, this update added a mobile api request every few minutes chock full of malware and spyware and Trojan downloaders, some of which have already been traced back to some pretty widespread malicious networks. A lot of stalking victims rely on this app. Do better, fellas..ArchaicSoulVersion: 4.0.2

So far so good.Have had the app for about a month. Loved the fact that there is a setup video. Was easy to get things started and works very well. Also have it on my MacBook Pro. Reason for the 4 stars is due to the fact that they started off strong with creating a platform and what to do videos, but after it’s all set on your phone your pretty much left to your own welling. Due wish they had more videos and what the app can do..LB_BabyBoiVersion: 2.1.1

Really greatVery reliable I’m always surprised how many ads there are on websites when I turn off my ad blocker and forget to turn it back on. I’ve been using the free version but considering that I’ve used AdGuard for quite a while I figured I’d use it. Definitely like the ability to selectively chose websites not to block.JustacskidVersion: 4.4.0

Stops updating when auto-lock comes on1. It stops updating when the iPhone’s auto-lock comes on (Battery saver is not on), so I am forced to disable the auto-lock in order to update 2. Then it takes a a huge time to update. And once updated it doesn’t remembers that it just updated and if you click on update again it will restart the huge, long time, updating process again!!.1Reviewer21Version: 4.4.4

Still getting the filter update error message in iOS 17.3.1Still getting the filter update error message in iOS 17.3.1 Well, we’re still getting the filter update error message when in fact, this error message, in fact is an error in itself. You can look at your filters and determine they in fact, did get updated correctly. Maybe in iOS 17.4 this mess will finally get fixed once, and for all..John GoodinVersion: 4.5.2

Well worth the premium priceI usually don’t write reviews even for apps I really like, but this app really does make my internet viewing less annoying. Less cookies prompts, privacy prompts, pop ups, ads and even though the app’s best settings cost a bit it’s relaxing to browse and not be constantly bombarded..Keith Flint FanboyVersion: 4.2.2

Best money spentBought this app several years ago now and Instill consider it the best money I have ever spent. Using the Ad Guard features allows me to block almost all annoying ads. The element block feature is fantastic for cruising on Safari and getting rid of those annoying pop ups. Buy it! Research how to use it fully and you won't regret it!.DoubleASacmanVersion: 4.1.0

Awesome!This is a great product, especially in combination with AdGuard for one’s laptop or desktop computer. I’ve had occasion to contact the developers, and they were knowledgeable and helpful with a problem I was having. I got the feeling they really care about defending our privacy, against all the prevailing forces who want to monetize our data. Highly recommended!.YogaMan108Version: 2.1.2

Great!Good for safari but doesn’t really work for in-app ads like youtube and others. Question for the developers; is there a way to setup the app to block in-app ads? I’m using the pro version in full tunnel mode. Thanks. Update Xmas day 2019: Great local VPN ad blocker. It works fine for 90% of cases. 4/5 stars because the app will crash when there are too many block requests. For example, I cannot use it with google news; the vpn is constantly crashing and restarting. It doesn’t block youtube ads, but I don’t blame the vpn. Google’s youtube ads are likely not blockable on an iOS VPN. I’m not an expert though..Mister_willyVersion: 2.1.2

By far the best one out there!This app has really impressed me. The free version I was using for a long time offers great functionality and the high level of quality and performance made it an easy decision to upgrade to the pro version. I really respect their business model of offering a free, uncrippled functional product and having it prove itself worthy of buying..Koma312Version: 4.1.1

The multiple filters feature is really nice but privacy concerns...It blocks 95% of ads and the anti-disable adblock mechanism works well. However, i hope someone can explain whether is it the same policy for iOS content blocker as the extension found on the mac App store regarding privacy/access to browsing history. The mac safari extension has two additional components: the adguard icon and advanced blocking, both of them can access sensitive information if enabled (according to apple). The remaining 6 components: social, privacy, other, ... do not have ANY permission to data access web page i visited. And so I’m only comfortable using those 6 only. However, settings for iOS safari content blocker says it differently, “....content blockers can’t send any info about what was blocked back to the app”. Although there’s no adguard icon or any other components asking for access, does that mean the same thing like on the mac version, where adguard just tell safari what to block and can’t access my private browsing data (like adguard icon on mac)?.NjrsguignregVersion: 4.0.2

But with this latest update I’m very impressed by the speed difference! So much so that it seems better and quicker than my desktop setup!? Adding custom filters? Boom takes a second! Want to remove an object from a page? Boom good to go in sec sec - compared to last version where it could take 10-20-30 seconds... Very impressed by the update, fantastic team.

Keeps the Internet CleanI have been using AdGuard for years now to keep the Internet clean. Tip: If you also use AdGuard Home, you can keep using AdGuard mobile but disable it for your Home network.

DNS ProtectionThe DNS protection feature in this app is so good that the price is justified even if that’s all that was included. It is highly configurable and allows you to add new blocklists, whitelist or blacklist specific domains, and allows you to select a custom DNS server! Also supports encrypted DNS! Not to mention, it’s a great tool for monitoring your devices network activity to see what apps are doing. The user interface is also incredibly clean and AdGuard’s built in block list is really effective and I’ve yet to encounter any false positives. Not to mention AdGuard is open source. I highly recommend this app, and believe it’s an essential privacy tool..IDavid12345Version: 4.4.3

Great app but needs a few refinements…Hear me out, I’ve been using this app after updating to iOS 15 and it was very good at its time since competitors like Wipr didn’t have the same efficiency for blocking that many ads and pop-up but after a while I realized pop up were appearing but the page content would be blocked, and pages seemed to load slower (probably being a bit heavy on safari) so went back to Wipr and the blocking of ads was 100x better since last time. Also a lot less heavy on Safari. So unfortunately I stopped using the adguard but one perk of adguard is it’s customizable filters. If they could improve page loading and and blocking to the point i dont get a page pop up then i would maybe consider coming back but looking at the price difference its hard to come back. Hope to see some improvements in later update :).6-BITESVersion: 4.3.1

Great app! Be sure the DNS filter is on!The safari Addon is great but its best part is the AdGuard DNS filter that works even on the Flipboard app. It also works on many other apps and it prevents ads from loading via IP filtering. Just be sure the DNS filter is on with the AdGuard default filter on..Iom666Version: 4.2.2

AdGuard Pro — adblock&privacy Negative Reviews

Terrible Software - Either Works Too or Not At AllI expected to install this app, enable it, and have intrusive ads reduced in number. On one particular page that was flooded with ads, there was zero change in the number of pop-ups and banner ads after installing and enabling the app in Safari. I attempted to individually block these elements only to have them come back once I'd gone through the laborious process of switching from safari to the app, then back to safari, then refreshing the page. I then made sure that all the content blockers for Adguard were enabled only to NOT BE BLE TO LOAD THE PAGE AT ALL. I determined that this was due to the "Adguard Pro - Other" content blocker. There is, apparently, no way to see what rules are part of that list. Even with all other blockers enabled, all of the ads still appear. This app is not only useless for the purpose I purchased it for, the interface is infuriating. There is no reason I should have to switch between apps when manually locking an element (that doesn't even remain blocked anyway.).OneSwellFoopVersion: 4.3.3

2 stars… too intransparent, too buggyThis app does NOT give you an option to remove the VPN profile if you decide not to use the DNS service. You'll have to delete the app to delete the profile… that's rather intransparent. What's even worse is that it completely cripples my iPhone after a reboot, apps will not open past the splashscreen, Wi-Fi will not connect (settings app freezes when i tap "Wi-Fi"). When I disable the DNS service inside AdGuard, turn on flight mode, then turn on Wi-Fi, only THEN my phone becomes responsive again when using a cellular connection. Using the AdGuard DNS service will use ~10MB a month, which is beyond my understanding seeing as AdGuard Pro will only create a "local" tunnel and not route traffic through servers. The app either still updates filters on cellular (even though I turned that off) or sends/receives high amount of data when using the DNS service. The more I switch between Wi-Fi and cellular, the higher the cellular data usage of the app. Why?._MavVersion: 1.3.3

“ UpDated” to Make Completely Useless & Broken. Now Just Useless!Was Fixed to Make Completely Useless & Broken. Now Just Useless & Broken. Read Other Reviews written within the last month. Developers WELL AWARE OF THEIR BROKEN APP. Yet still play “ dumb” in comments / review section of App Store. Hey AdGuard Developers…You Broke what was a good working app. It NO LONGER WORKS. It No Longer works with Other VPN’s. You Changed Things in the App that Did Not need to be Changed. For one, put Safari options back into Advanced Page. You guys just seem to move things around to look busy & then ruin things that don’t need fixing. Stop asking for details as if your subpar work needs more info. You know what YOU DID. You know what you changed & broke. FIX IT. YOU have had this reported broken App for a Month Now. What’s taking so long to correct? YOU HAVE TAKEN PEOPLES $$$$. FIX IT! If you use this App in its current state you may as well “Brick” your iPhone & iPad. BEWARE!!!.WrapRiteVersion: 4.3.1

Something went wrongThe app was working fine, then one day when I launched it to check on how it was doing. There was red text at the top saying "Safari Content Blocker is disabled". It was strange as my toggle for that in the Safari setting was set to "ON". I clicked on "check for updates" and an error popped up saying "Filters cannot be loaded to Safari...", so I tried to follow the instructions, cleared off the blacklist and cleared the selected filters, but when I did that, the same error message popped up and it reset my filters to the unchanged state. I ended up uninstalled and reinstalled the app to reset the VPN profile but when I launched the newly installed app. It stuck on the loading screen which said it wouldn't take longer than 30s to load filters into Safari but that screen never went away. I can't no longer access the app as I could not go past that screen. Quite frustrating!.Silva HawkVersion: 2.1.1

June 2020 Update Not GreatI’ve been using this app for a long time to block a lot of advertising and tracking domains. The previous builds have always worked intuitively since the app was straightforward with its DNS logs outlining advertising and tracking websites plus the option of custom filters that you can create. The most recent update (June 2020) really sacrificed a lot of the straightforward features and fluidity for “better” appearance. Not only did the DNS logging become more obscure with its detailing of whether or not a domain is tracking your activity, it also made a lot of the navigation very clunky. I’m not sure why the homepage now only has a graph (not sure what this accomplished other than looking “techy” for basic users) with DNS requests and average time. They should have really kept most of the features from the previous build by keeping the DNS logging/activity under one page via scroll and keep the settings separate. They should also bring back the colors of tracking domains for the DNS activity. Overall, the current build feels slower than the previous one due to poor UI layout and the loss of simplicity in tracking and blocking unwanted domains..Cȯde 002Version: 4.0.1

Constant disconnects, zero customer support, after paying for this being pushed to a subscriptionFirstly the app does not block ads very well even when it is working. When the VPN is enabled my internet is very slow or does not work. I can see the VPN logo flashing on and off on the taskbar as my phone attempts to access the internet. I’ve contacted adguard on their forums as well as uploading bugs to github and they don’t seem interested at all. I paid a “lifetime” license for this but they only seem to be interested in forcing me to an alternate product with a forever subscription. I’ve purchased several of their desktop licenses as well as this one and have been a local user, but after this greed I will be looking elsewhere. The greed wouldn’t even be so bad if the product just worked and/or if it was supported..SD777xVersion: 2.1.2

You can only block-No allowed list. No way to add filters.This is an ongoing problem. For this app to work properly you need to have the ability to allow, edit, block as needed. The features of this paid app were stripped down to the bare minimum. As of right now the app only blocks. The filter lists all say zero filters and there is no way to add any, There isn't a allow list. Also you need to be able to add some form of filter. The app still works--barely. They have updated since my last review, but the problems persist. The developers know about this problem because they reached out to me through Apple asking me to change my review. In the email they said they were working on this app. This was over a month ago..Pua8850038Version: 4.3.2

Battery issues, DNS, overworking/overheatingI've been using this app for a few months and it works, but the few times I've turned on DNS my phone would overheat while charging. The culprit of course was this app. I looked into my battery settings to see what apps were running while it was charging and this one happens to be the only one running in the background. I've uninstalled and my phone works fine now. It also does not lag anymore, which I was unaware this app was causing until it was gone. Services work, of course, but at the cost of overworking the phone to the point of overheating. It's not very efficient. It knocked down another percentage in my overall battery health..😂👌🔫Version: 4.5

So it finally happened...Your app broke. Even though my Content Blockers are enabled in my settings for Safari as well as inside the apps configuration it’s no longer blocking ads in Safari as well as whenever I open the AdGuard app it bombards me with the super annoying pop up that Safari blocking is disabled and how to “fix it” even though I’ve done what it says and it’s still not working/annoying the ish out of me. I’ve tried contacting customer support and of course just got a reply with the usual generic links telling me how to go into my settings and enable the Content Filters in my phones settings. How convenient you guys quadruple the price with a new UI that is absolute trash. Thanks!.Peter MageeVersion: 4.0.4

It used to be a great appI’ve used this app for a number of years. The major “upgrades” have been frustrating, but I pressed on. Unfortunately, with this latest update, I haven’t been able to find a combination of settings that doesn’t significantly drain my battery. This thing constantly runs in the background even with background app refresh off, and I’d often wake up to an almost dead battery. A battery check revealed that this app was the culprit. Restarts, reinstalls, resets didn’t improve the situation, so I deleted the app and am now using a different ad blocker. The battery performance is finally back to normal..DaveGRVersion: 4.3.3

Former gloryThis app used to be the gold standard in ad blocking apps, but those days have passed. This newest version crashes a few seconds after launch…every time. I went through the whole issue where it just cut off all internet traffic, where it stopped working completely, all the issues. I’ve been using AdGuard Pro for a very long time (even use it on my computer) and I wish it would try to get back to the older functionality instead of trying to become something new. I’ll be looking for something else..RtlnVersion: 4.3.2

HELP!Downloaded app 2 weeks ago, it says I have too many filters for Safari... unable to read rest of bottom banner message (I only have 3 filters set) or find any type of helpful suggestions as to what filters to choose for what. There’s 88 different filters to choose from. I’m still seeing tracker ads everywhere and stupid pop ups that prevents the page to be seen. Is there anywhere to get help with understanding what needs set in the settings? Will re-review once I get this figured out or end up deleting this app..OzarkButterflyVersion: 2.1.1

Does not block ads in any appsDespite following the instructions 100% (I am an IT tech with 38 years of computer experience, so NOT a newb), all ads formerly displaying ads were still displaying ads despite conducting a hard shutdown and restart of both the apps and the iPhone as a whole..RekabisVersion: 2.1.2

Is the VPN really working?When I go on the Internet and I try to find my ip address, I see that I am not protected with a VPN, because they know my exact location. I add the VPN manually in the app, with servers information, and it is still not working. Can you help me please?.Maxime CaouetteVersion: 2.1.1

Used to be the bestI’ve reduced my review to 2 stars. This used to be best ad blocker on iOS but the developer hasn’t really been giving it the love and attention it deserves. Safari protection is enabled but the stats don’t update; ever. Safari protection is enabled but many time the rules don’t work or the app throws a funky error and fails to update or it just gets stuck on “updating”. I’m not sure if this is meant to push the DNS or VPN solutions but it’s rather disappointing at the lack of quality over time. I hope the developers eventually address and fix the issues, if not I think it’s time to start looking for another affordable solution..Mali.sarajlijaVersion: 4.5

Safari ad’s onlyFrom reading reviews I was u der the assumption that if I got the pro version, things such as YouTube ads would be blocked. Not the case, it will only block ads in safari just in case you came here hoping for the ladder..GreenratchetVersion: 4.4.4
