The best, but can be tricky to use
It's a superb, must-have product for using your Mac online these days, but I'd encourage the developer to continue improving the user experience, it can be tricky to figure out how to use effectively.

Thank you for leaving us your review! We take all the feedback we receive into account, and rely on it while making dev decisions, so your comment about making 1Blocker more intuitive is much appreciated.
The part of your day-to-day you forget you can't live without
I remember years ago coming across 1Blocker and, at the time, being sick of the state of Safari's locked down nature on iOS, and not being able to block ads. From the get-go, they made it a seamless experience.
Fast-forward to now, with its deep integration and customisable options, it's an absolute no-brainer.
Such nice quality of life features too, such as an Allow List to allow you to support your favourite websites (here's looking at you, Medium) and setting force HTTPS making your browsing experience more secure.
For such a small subscription price, and the value that it provides across macOS and iOS, I'd absolutely recommend buying this app.
And to the developers - Thank you, and stay brilliant!

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.

Probably the best
This, as far as I know, is the only app that comprehensively protects mac, iphone and ipad with a single subscription.
By comprehensively I mean that in various track testing sites this app gives very good results. Additionally, it offers DNS based filtering for mobile devices, which is a must.
Only missing thing is a process to pollute browser fingerprinting. If this was added, the app would definitely deserve 5 stars

Thank you so much for using our app! We will keep improving 1Blocker and making your browsing more private and secure.
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.

Thank you so much for your feedback. Happy to have you with us!
So much Faster Now!
News sites are massively loaded with ads, many of which are scams. I was getting frustrated by the slow page load and refresh.
Immediate vast improvement once 1Blocker was activated. Love it!

Amazing Unique outstanding App!!
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 “ 🎩 Really

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.

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!
