  • Phenomenal | Just Works

    I’ve been a longtime user of Adgaurd, but I recently noticed that web pages were taking significantly longer to load *without* Adguard enabled, which seemed silly. So I went on the hunt for a new ad blocker, and Reddit brought me here. For the low price of a couple of bucks, Wipr has immediately fixed all of my problems. Web pages load at lightning fast speeds again, Adblock test websites register 100% coverage, and I couldn’t be happier!

  • The best content blocker available on iOS

    I’ve recently tested all major content blockers to see which ones make a difference. Wipr was the only one to pass all tests with flying colours, and had the simplest user experience of them all. An absolute steal at the price, and no ongoing SaaS costs.
  • So Far Nothing! Not Working at All!

    The 3 stars are because I don’t know yet if I’m doing something or it’s the app’s fault. And I don’t know because I’ve had no response to my plea for help. I’ve done everything requested (as per app instructions) of me in trying to fix this and nothing, nada, ingenting, zilch … I’m so depressed at this point. This is the straw that has broken the camel’s back. One piece of tech after another is just flawed. It’s all crap and there’s no way around it. But you try anyway, you go online to find solutions and half way through the process the instructions tell you to go to a particular setting in the drop down menu and it doesn’t exist. Nothing is beautifully built, nothing works, fonts in pale grey can’t be read. I give up.

  • First app to install on new device

    Anytime I setup the phone, this is the first app I install! You never realize the improvement in browsing experience since I do not remember browsing any site without Wipr.
  • It just works!

    I just recently go an iPad and I’ve been trying my hand at using Safari instead of FireFox and Chrome. So far so good, but I realized that I’ve come to be very accustomed to the AdBlock’d life of browsing on my MacBook, so I started to look for a good AdBlocker. From checking the top apps in the App Store for Content Blocking, this appeared to the best one.

    So far it’s been working perfectly. I frequent blog sites like Gizmodo, and they have horrendous ads that expanding in the screen and take up like 1/3rd of the reading space. With this app, the entire ad doesn’t show up and all I see is what I want to see :)

  • Best ad-block period.

    I’ve tried them all over the years, but Wipr is on a different level. Thank you thank for this app, and thank you Apple for allowing extensions like these.
  • Fantastic filtering with K*I*S*S simplicity

    Have been using this on both IOS and MacOS for years. I appreciate the simplicity / lack of config options, as I’d rather not spend my days tweaking a tool. Works great, no config options - if you want to tweak things, this ain’t for you
  • Have to re-purchase for every device.

    It just so happens that I’m using my iPhone to find safari extensions, primarily to use on my iPad, and bought this thinking “cool, I’ll just install it on my iPad next time I use it”. Well I go to do so and there is no download option, rather only the option to purchase the app again, ergo, single use license even though there is no such mention of this in the apps listing on the App Store. This is extremely scummy and I’ll be requesting a refund and purchasing an alternative. Would rate zero stars for this alone if I could.

  • Love this app

    Block even those sneaky pop ups where you click on play on a video and other tabs open. You might have to do it 6 or 7 times to actually play the video. This video blocks all that.
  • Get this APP if you want real AD blocking!

    I am incredibly pleased with this App. Only hiccup I encountered was trying to turn it on after downloading. It took some investigating but I figured it out.

    For an IPhone you may encounter this issue where toggle to turn on Wipr is greyed out.

    If so go to screen time settings and restrictions- content restrictions- and change internet content filter to unrestricted access.

    Then you will be able to turn on toggles to authorize Wipr.

    Afterwards you can go back into screen time settings and content restrictions and turn back on your desired content filter for browsing. Hope this is helpful.

    Final note, I was using Norton Ad Blocker prior to this and I found theirs annoying that it still displayed empty screen space where ads were but just didn’t show content. Seemed to limit loading speed of images. I love Wipr in comparison. Not wasting time loading empty squares on your screen. Browsing is much quicker. And I have terrible service reception where I live.
