Leave a Review 1Blocker
Best money spent.
This app allows me, who likes to constantly go to sketchy websites. to get information I need for reports without the worry their tracking me. Even in my sleep it works, it blocked over 200 trackers in 10 minutes. It blocked all that while I was asleep, and after using 1Blocker I’ve noticed my phone running faster and using less power, leading to more battery life. I like how it even works for me when I don’t have service- so even if something’s still tracking me, waiting for service to finally send the data, it can’t. It has a firewall and a free “tracker blocker” just for safari. I highly recommend this and a app called IVerify. Both cost money but choose what’s worth more for you. Honestly, I’d say 1Blocker is. I use 1Blocker way more.Show lessjacob,ava,kenya,joel

Many thanks for such a wonderful review, Seth! Your user experience and satisfaction is our priority, so the whole team was excited to receive your feedback.used to be good
breaks too many websites, have to disable it, which then, whats really the point?
chat and messages get broken even though I don't have block widgets or comments turned on.
Unable to click on any affiliate link, which sometimes one might want to do (like a link to a sale price of a product), and there's no way to customize this behavior.
EDIT / Response: Ok I mean i will try to do that, right now its almost every website i have favorited or I turn it off, which defeats the point. In one example, 1blocker blocked the captcha making it impossible to login, other times by blocking the cookie request popup it then breaks other aspects of the site since their website expects a response to that prompt. I don't know how one resolves these issues, but other browsers like Brave or Arc with built in ad blockers don't have these problems.Show lessaudentia

Making our filter lists more comprehensive is one of our goals, but if they become too aggressive on some sites, we are ready to adjust them to fix major issues. If adding these websites to 1Blocker's allow list is not an option, please, feel free to report them to our support through the app or our email (support@1blocker.com) anytime. We will look into your reports and check if they can be fixed on our end. UPD: Thank you for your cooperation and input! Adjusting our filters may take time due to various reasons, but we always keep track of the issues we have yet to address.Confused App
*Update* working perfectly across all devices. Thanks all. Upgraded from 3 to 5 stars.
Purchased the annual plan on my iPad and it works fine though does not allow me to use Premium on my phone and doesn’t allow me to order premium for my phone. When downloaded and accessing from my phone: “You are already subscribed ..” but won’t allow premium features on my phone or allow me to order premium separately for the phone.Show lessOmfgthisstupidnicknamesht
Quick tip
I usually don’t write reviews but I just felt I needed to quickly write one for this solely based on the fact that it has one feature that is just absolutely amazing. If you use the “block annoyances” feature, it will essentially block all types of annoyances and pop up’s when browsing. The biggest plus to this is that you don’t have to dig into the site settings to sometimes reject the cookies because they will do it for you and they you wont have to worry about sometimes pressing yes because you are too lazy or you did it on accident. This app overall has amazing features and the premium (while I don’t have it) is it a great affordable price for people who don’t really want to spend too much time worrying about privacy and want a one click solution. App deserves much more appreciation.Show lessiNukeShoZ

This is truly a outstanding app and I truly thank the developers for an amazing system they have put together! I have used the other 1BLOCKER for 2 and a half years and for me have never never had a problem with it. About the time you think the app can’t get any better the developers pull out a better system! You can tell they have put a lot of time in to this new system and I am telling you download it today you will not be sorry!! As they have always said ( This is the only Add Blocker you will ever need! ) Thanks to a great app and a great team who took the time to not only put this together but in a special way for you myself and our family! The Firewall protection is unique and outstanding that’s added even more protection for your family and mine! So one last time Mr. Developer’s I truly truly Tip my Hat to you and say “ Thanks “ 🎩 ReallyShow lessRLNfirst

Thank you for your kind words and for using 1Blocker all these years. We will do our best to keep improving 1Blocker and making your browsing more enjoyable and secure!Used to be great
I loved 1Blocker. All the customizable settings, synced to every device using iCloud, and the ability to write custom rules!
However, I noticed that over time, as my devices aged, performance degraded. I tried running Firefox on macOS without plugins and was shocked at the difference. When I switched to Safari and disabled 1blocker, I got similar performance. The problem for me was 1Blocker.
Then the developer earlier this year decided to start gating custom rules behind a subscription. I understand they need to make money, but when I went to edit my existing rules, the app asked me to pay. It also wouldn’t let me re-enable the rule after I toggled it.
And then I saw a notice on the app: “your device is using an ad list from June 2022. Pay us to get ad list updates.”
No. There are Adblock list publicly available on the internet, and other blockers that can stay updated.
I switched to Wipr. There’s no configuration settings, but I donated $2/mo to them for not behaving in such a greedy way.Show lesssdave90
Works great!
Updated review: I initially thought 1Blocker wasn’t blocking the big ad on the Wordle page. The developer quickly replied to my review and my subsequent email and it turned out the problem was me. At some point in the past few years I’d disabled content blockers while using my previous blocker (Purify). The troubleshooting steps provided by the developer got everything working fine.
1Blocker works great and I really appreciate the prompt, personal support so I’m subscribing because that’s definitely worth $1.25/month!Show lessRadish5555
Great app, greatly improved browsing on iPhone.
Great app, it greatly improved my browsing on iPhone and iPad blocking a lot of annoying ads and speeding up browsing. Only problem is with very occasional website like Forbes where contact play, but that from what I’ve read is because Forbes has advanced anti-ad blockers. Otherwise, most websites are covered. Plus it’s simple to use, in the basic form. Another good thing is it lets you create custom rules, which I haven’t used much but it’s nice to know it is there.
I also like that it doesn’t have a subscription like some of these scammy, garbage apps on here trying to rip you off monthly— it was a one time purchase. that does not extend the VPN service, but I already have a VPN so I only use the 1Blocker basic app.Show lessVbede

It’s so good to hear that you enjoy using 1Blocker. We really appreciate your support!Pros and Cons
This adblocker works very well, and the firewall features blocking app-based tracking also work well. Many trackers were flagged as blocked immediately after activating the firewall.
The downside to this extensive tracking is that this app uses a lot of processing power. Both my iPhone X and iPad Pro 10.5” ran significantly hotter while this app was running, and battery life was reduced by several hours. Unfortunately, since I have older devices with healthy but reduced battery capacity already, I can’t accept the trade off with using 1Blocker.
Thankfully, this app has a trial period for the subscription features. Obviously newer devices will be less affected by the additional resources used by this app, but it’s clear this app uses a lot of resources. Give the free trial a try.Show lessFndrStrat06

Thank you for sharing the comment about your experience with 1Blocker! 1Blocker can still work on your device without affecting the battery life that much, and I'll be happy to help configure the app. First of all, the good news is that content blocking in Safari is highly battery-efficient, so the only tool that can drain battery is Firewall if it's running in the HTTP Proxy mode. So, it's worth switching from HTTP Proxy to DNS Proxy from the (…) button at the upper-right corner of the app's Firewall tab. It should improve battery usage. 1Blocker may take about one minute to reconfigure the filtering mode. Also, if any additional questions arise, we are always ready to guide you through them.
