One-Time-Purchase Option, Ad Blocker Bypassed, And Confusion On How To Be Used On Apple TV

I think I may be confused on how to use the ad blocker for the Apple TV version. Also, please allow a One-Time-Purchase Option for the ad block. Thank you.

Great app

Love it

Apple TV disappointment

I tried this app to see if it would block ads in the YT app on ATV. I was unsuccessful. After reading some more on their website, I'm still not sure it was designed to do that. I would appreciate a little more clarity from the developer.

I don't need it for any of my other devices so I can't speak to how it works there.

YMMV.

Still get ads on YouTube

Still get ads on YouTube…. WTF

didn't work at all

didnt see any ads being blocked ok websites. i enabled everything i settings and rebooted. also doesnt block YouTube. suggesting that you turn off subscription renewal alerts is a really cute dark pattern...

Didn’t work

Doesn’t do anything except change audio to a foreign language.

Useless on Apple TV

The app doesn’t block ads on YouTube or Netflix on Apple TV. Why? Not supposed to be a solid product?

Ad stopped working

After chatting with a representative I just needed to make a minor adjustment. Great app and customer support.

Ad stopped working

Not working anymore

Impressive… maybe

I love that Magic Lasso is available on Apple TV. It claims to be blocking hundreds of connections every night, but there’s no way to see what was blocked. Seems suspect that more traffic is blocked overnight than when actually using Apple TV…

Doesn’t work.

An ad blocker that doesn’t block ads. Useless.

Kinda fraud for me

Magic lasso says it does block ads from social media but it doesnt.. so not worth of buying

Response from developer

Magic Lasso blocks almost all ads in Safari and also blocks many ads in other apps, including some ads in social media apps via our App Ad Blocking feature. We are constantly improving App Ad Blocking to be more effective at blocking ads in apps and will take your feedback on board to improve ad blocking in social media apps too.

Subscription Constantly Breaks

Every time I update this app it refuses to restore my existing subscription. I’m sick of having to contact support to re-activate something I’ve already paid for.

So I am confused

Not only is this Not blocking any ad’s on YT, and yes I am going through Safari. But the ads r loading So bloody slow I can’t even continue watching videos. It just taking Way too much time. Am I missing something?

When are the best I used?

It’s the best just know you have to pay your subscription

Great support!

In addition to Magic Lasso delivering on its promise to block ads and trackers, the support is outstanding. They respond to my questions quickly and yesterday followed up with me to make sure an update we discussed weeks ago was still effective. A benefit for purchasing from a small independent developer!

Messes up your iMessage

This app was great until I noticed iMessage stopped working on my phone as well as my wife’s phone. Several days with customer service of finally figuring out this app with the VPN blocked any iMessage from coming in. It’s since been deleted from our phones.

Doesn’t work for Apple TV

Doesn’t work for Apple TV

Works well for the most part

The NYT’s is pretty good at getting around ad blockers. This is no exception

Messes with iOS and my wifi. Useless in NY Times app.

Have lost my text messaging and wifi using this app. Also consistently fails to block ads NY TIMES APP, even using custom settings. Price very high for what it does.
