Exceptional App and Support

I have tried many many apps to block ads. This is the only one I found that truly works. Recently my phone was updated to iOS 27 and the ad blocker stopped working. I sent an email and immediately received a response with a fix! And it worked!

Thank you so much for using Magic Lasso and for your support and great feedback. We love hearing from our customers and will continue to make Magic Lasso the best ad blocker for your iPhone, iPad and Mac.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!

I love my Magic Lasso! If non stop, endless ads drive you crazy as bad as they do me, and you hate spending endless money to stop them you have to have this app! Or if you have apps that cram ads down your throat and refuse to give you the option to disable them at all you really need this app! It's super easy to turn on and off if you need to disable it for some reason. Their support is fast and helpful if it stops working for any reason, which has only happened twice and they got it working or helped me get it working within a day or two. It's one of, if not the most reliable apps on my phone.

I'm so glad I found this app, and highly recommend it!

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.

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.

Magic Lasso will block all ads – including YouTube video ads – in Safari on your iPhone, iPad and Mac. It will also block many ads and trackers in other apps on your iPhone, iPad and Mac when the App Ad Blocking feature is enabled. For the Apple TV, many - but not all - ads and trackers will be blocked in Apple TV apps. This includes some video ads in many streaming apps, however not currently YouTube ads when viewed in the YouTube app on the Apple TV. We are constantly improving our ad blocking effectiveness so hope to be able to support YouTube ad blocking on the Apple TV app in a future update.

Still get ads on YouTube

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?

Magic Lasso blocks all ads in Safari and many ads in other apps, via the App Ad Blocking feature, when used on an iPhone or iPad. On the Apple TV, you can see the number of ads and trackers that have been blocked by opening the Magic Lasso app on your Apple TV and viewing the Insights at the bottom of the Overview screen. This will show you the ads and trackers blocked every hour. You should see a significant number of ads and trackers blocked here, and we are continually improving the app to ensure it blocks more in the future. At the moment, it won't block YouTube or Netflix ads on the Apple TV, but we do have longer-term plans to improve ad blocking on the Apple TV so that it should be more effective on those apps too.

Ad stopped working

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

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…

Thanks for the feedback. On the Apple TV, you can see the number of ads and trackers that have been blocked by opening the Magic Lasso app and viewing the Insights at the bottom of the Overview screen. This will show you the ads and trackers blocked every hour. Most of the items that Magic Lasso may be blocking are trackers, and a large volume of blocking may indicate an app trying multiple times to access a tracker domain when it is being blocked. So for instance, an app, or even an inbuilt part of tvOS, is attempting to access a tracker, it is blocked, and tries again. This will increase the volume of items shown in the Insights.

Doesn’t work.

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

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.

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?

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!
