Leave a Review Weblock
Finally stopped working reliably in Dec 2023
I’ve been using Weblock for years and years, and it’s always done a great job. But this week, several apps finally started to break through and show ads, most annoyingly Bored Panda, which throws up full-screen video ads at random in the app, and then begs you to whitelist it (to BP: This behavior is WHY we block ads!). I’ve contacted the developer, but given how long it’s been since this has been updated, I’m not expecting a fix. It still works in some apps, particularly games, so it’s not a total loss yet, but I’m afraid I’m going to have to start looking for an ad-blocking VPN now.Show lessSus reviews, save your money
Doesn’t achieve a fraction of what it claims. Doesn’t block in-game ads and uses a generic list of ad servers to proxy. Following all of the steps using either the VPN profile or the web content proxy configuration yielded sub-optimal results with a small less than 5% of ads actually being blocked. Don’t waste $2 and instead find a reputable DNS blocker that you can configure at your router level. Pihole, NextDNS, w/v it might be, will produce vastly superior results and provide dramatically more visibility in what is happening behind the scenes.Show lessiOS 15 made this useless
It’s getting to the point where we’ll have to watch ads just to answer our phone. I have used and loved this app since its first appeared and it was amazing at blocking all ads. Never saw an ad till I downloaded iOS 15, which completely disabled this app. It doesn’t work on iOS 14.8 either. Really disappointed and hope there will be an update to fix this issue very soon.Show less
