OUTSTANDING
This is literally the perfect ad blocker for me, almost like it was tailor-made.
NO settings to fool with, NO interface, NO anything. Download it, turn it on, forget it.
Wipr has done a fantastic job so far, and if I ever do encounter a website or page with a problem, I can temporarily disable Wipr or add the site to a whitelist.
This is exactly how I want ad blocking to work. This little app should be $10-15, not $2!
Congratulations to developer Giorgio, who also provides excellent and personal support via email.Show lessChris M. Long
Great adblocker
Love the app, been using it since day one. One question for the dev, tho: is there a way to see when there’s an update/refresh available? I find myself going into the app and hitting automatic refresh to see if there’s an update. Thanks!figmenteo
Perfect
Works incredibly well. Set up once and then forget about it.
Just wish Apple would allow ad blocking at all levels rather than just in safari.SoggyGrowler
The best option
Agree with all the other five stars. This is, hands down, the best ad blocker available on either iOS or the Mac. Literally is set and forget. Updates the block list on its own and actually works. If you want configurability, this might not be the one for you but if you want to just put it on your device and forget about it, this is definitely the one.Show lessParagon3
Works great, no complaints
I've been using Wipr for macOS for a while now, but a very outdated ad blocker for iOS (hasn't been updated in 3 years!) As such, it wasn't doing a stellar job these days. Having been happy with the macOS version of Wipr, I decided to double dip -- 2 bucks is a small price to pay for clean, simple web browsing.
Very happy with the improvements over my outdated ad blocker. Works great, instantly, and doesn't seem to have any impact on performance whatsoever. Ads (nor their placeholders) even get a chance to render. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.Show lessEbd3682
Simply simple
Bought this app for my MacBook and it worked great and did the job perfectly (better than alternatives). Got this for my phone too and I’ve never thought about it again, it’s simple and it works, what more could you want?Jayyyy95
Get it and forget it!
This app is perfect if you want to clean up websites without doing any work! I just paid so it would keep working on my Mac after Apple changed the way Extensions work in Safari 13, without hesitation because I just want this to exist and continue to work (yeah, there's one for the Mac too!)! The developer's stance on privacy is very much appreciated as well! Buy it, use it, and if you ever doubt you needed it, disable the extension and surf the web and see how awful things are.Show lessbmbufalo
Work around for other apps
This app works very well in Safari (as stated in the info) but not at all in other apps.
This work around has worked well for me. I use the Flipboard app (I like the app formatting better than the Safari Flipboard version) for reading news and nothing I’ve found defeats the 5 to 10 ads in each story I try to read. Ads are so intrusive it is difficult to determine what is an ad and what is the story without close scrutiny.
TRY THIS. In the Flipboard app Find a story you want to read. Click on the box with the up arrow (at the bottom of the screen). On the bottom row of the pop up, select “Open in Safari”. Read the story ad free, then click the “Flipboard” in upper left corner of the screen. I assume this works in other apps but have not checked.
Another hint. While you have that pop up open, click on the “...” option and move “Open in Safari” to the top so that it shows first in the pop up That way it will appear first when the pop up opens and you don’t have to scroll to find it.Show lessJimAtVerizon
Still getting trackers....every day
Despite all the good reviews, I am still getting lots of trackers.
I can delete them in Safari settings, but they return again the next time I check.....things like ‘addthis’.
Not sure what to think about this.....
Wipr certainly does not block all the stuff it says it does !Mr.Slowlover
Top notch on PC and mobile
Absolutely love the “set it and forget it” approach to this app. Been using it on PC since the initial launch and I’ve never had to consider an alternative.Zed Effective
