These people are on it

I’ve been using 1Blocker since I got an iPhone. This app always gets updated, devs always answer you either through app or on twitter, and I never feel like it’s left a feature behind. It always does what it says on the tin. When there’s an issue; it gets fixed. Cannot recommend it enough, drop the blockers with weird subscribe to filter list systems, don’t drain your battery for power hungry useless features in the background you’ll never need. The firewall on this works great.
Honestly if you think you need more protection than you had better be working for the government, be a spy in a foreign nation, or have a paranoia disorder.

Many thanks for such a wonderful comment! Happy to hear that 1Blocker improves your browsing experience.

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.

Many thanks for your positive and detailed feedback!

wonderful, well made, extremely helpful app!

never leave reviews often, but this app has absolutely nothing to complain about or any negative flaws! you get what you are advertised and it works 100% to your expectations!!! no more random and frustrating redirections when using certain sites… no fear of services obtaining vital data off your device while browsing and using apps… ITS JUST GREAT! fantastic work development team! truly. i see absolutely no reason on why anyone would ever need to look else where for these services when you got it all on lock! if you don’t know wether or not it’s for you yet, they offer a 2 week free trial to help you get a feel of what you may purchase and what they have to offer. beautiful beautiful job guys!❤️

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.

Still Simply Stellar!

I believe this is hands-down the best ad blocker out there. It's a pleasure browsing the internet with the massive reduction if advertisments and online junk - a welcome reduction in a world of overload.
I recommed this app to everyone I know, and quite a few have taken me up on it and come back later to let me know it's a real winner. Keep up the great work, 1Blocker!

Thank you for your trust and support. Our goal is to improve how the web feels and looks, and it's great to hear 1Blocker successfully does its job on your devices!

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.

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.

Really good

One time payment for full version price is a bit steep or I would buy it

Great!

You don't know how good this software is until you use a mac or iOS device without it!

Response from developer

Thanks for taking the time to leave a great review! Happy to hear 1Blocker helps improve your browsing experience.

Great ad blocker 👍

This app actually blocks ads for free!! This is so helpful thank you so much. Unfortunately I am too young to pay for premium but the ad blocking is enough for me. Strongly recommend this app 💯

Response from developer

Thank you so much for leaving us such a nice comment!

Love it

It’s so effective. The local VPN is genius. Cannot recommend enough to anyone annoyed by ads.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and letting us protect you online! We are pleased to hear love how 1Blocker does its job.

Gave up after 15 minutes

I installed it because I wanted an alternative to AdGuard but found that after installing it, signed up for a 2 week trial to see how good the blocking was with other filters enabled and found it kept letting through popups etc. not to mention that windows will keep opening saying that it was blocked even though it opened a new window - why tell me it is blocked if you still are allowing the popup to occur in the first place? I was hoping to something that meets the quality of uBlock origin but found that it isn't the replacement that I hoped for. The website I was trying to use was telepisodes - try using it with this and realise it blocks almost nothing.

Thank you for sharing your report of this site. We're always looking for improvements of our content-blocking filters and will take your comment into account. If you have time to troubleshoot this a little further, taking the following steps would help us to make sure Safari applied all 1Blocker's extensions correctly: - make sure that Content Blockers are enabled on all websites in Safari > Settings > Websites > Content Blockers; - re-enable all 1Blocker extensions in Safari > Settings > Extensions; - re-toggle all default categories in the app itself; It will make Safari process all the rules pushed from the app. Also, if anything else comes up while running 1Blocker, we are more than happy to help via support@1blocker.com anytime.
