BlockBear! User Reviews

Effective and easy to use!

BlockBear has a really simple interface that’s easy to use and it does block ads very effectively. Some sites won’t open because they are configured to block ad blockers and you can add these to the BlockBear whitelist if you still want to open them.

Awesome!

Quick and easy to set up, works WONDERS! Easy to turn off is needed, and I wouldn’t hit the net without it —EVER.

Works so well I forget it’s on my iPad.

This app works so well and is not intrusive in any way, I forget it’s there.
I look at a particular football media site that is full of adverts and pop ups. With BlockBear running I get blank areas where the adverts would have been. Great app thank you. Al.D

It does block ads on Safari but…

While I do like this blocker in general, the problem I’ve had with it is due to the difficulty in shutting it off as it requires drilling down into settings to do so. If it had an easy switch instead I’d give it all 5 stars but I also can’t figure out how to access the whitelist itself either. There is a way to whitelist sites but when I tried to use it, the wrong URL popped up with NO way to edit it. That’s not very useful but was a great idea to have one. The app needs a little work and I hope they think about fixing these issues.

Great App

I’ve been using this app for some time now. It does exactly what it says and blocks all ads and tracking. Easy to enable and disable. Simply tap the AA in iPhone Safari browser or Tap the jigsaw icon on iPad > manage extensions. Switch it on or off. You’ll need to do this sometimes for tracked email links and ads that you select. Overall Great App.

It’s cute, but…

I’m finding it blocks legitimate links, eg search results, and sometimes actually typed in addresses, across multiple devices.
Easily fixed by slipping the switch, but niggly all the same.

App is no longer blocking ads like before

I have been using this app for a couple years and it’s been great but lately it no longer blocks clickbait in other apps or emails and I have no clue why. I switched iphone from 12 to 15 recently and re installed BlockBear and it doesn’t work as before with all settings the same.

2 Stars

I like the bear part and that’s literally it, I thought this would work for the intrusive YouTube ads, but it doesn’t… might remove it because that is literally why I downloaded this app. Sorry you weren’t more useful. :(

Happy customer recommend!

"I am absolutely delighted with this app, primarily for its outstanding ad blocker. Every time I attempted to watch movies on various websites like 'movies2watch' in the past, I was bombarded with intrusive and aggravating pop-up ads that often redirected me to unsavory content, which was a significant nuisance.

However, my experience has taken a complete 180-degree turn since I started using this app. I must say, the effectiveness of the ad blocker is truly remarkable. I no longer have to endure those bothersome pop-ups, and I can finally enjoy uninterrupted streaming. This alone is a game-changer for me.

Beyond that, the speed at which my content loads is astonishing. It's as if this app has breathed new life into my streaming experience. What's even more impressive is that this service is entirely free. In an era where many other platforms insist on payment or subscriptions, this app stands out as a beacon of generosity. It's clear that the creators genuinely care about providing a top-notch, free service to users like me.

I am genuinely impressed and grateful for this app. It has transformed my movie-watching experience, making it more enjoyable and hassle-free. I highly recommend it to anyone tired of invasive ads and slow loading times. Kudos to the team behind this app for their commitment to delivering excellence."

Don’t taunt me

I hate that when you disable Block Bear, it taunts you with a sarcastic message about how “privacy isn’t for everyone”
Get over yourselves.
