Almost always blocks the ad, which makes me confident I won’t get any ads popping up at random. Going back and forth using the arrows at the bottom sometimes don’t work, which is ok because you can slide the screen and it will do the same thing. But a little frustrating at times. Overall, I would rate this four just because of the user interface, but I would definitely recommend this app to my family. ### 4/5 — Nice *2022-11-06, version 3.9* The best ### 3/5 — Sluggish still, plus.... *2021-06-14, version 3.9* It is now getting Ads that take over the entire screen. It also started refreshing the screen over and over. Website was ArcaMax.com/comics. ### 2/5 — Adblock review *2020-10-05, version 3.9* Does not prevent unwanted ads from re-appearing ### 2/5 — Don’t work with my iPhone *2020-05-08, version 3.9* Rubbish ### 4/5 — Not perfect, but still very helpful *2020-01-28* This has been my main browser for the past five years. Recently, some sites seem to have found a way to get ads through. I hope they continue developing the app and block the new generation of ads. Some sites' functionality sometimes breaks down, very few though. I use this mostly for news browsing and it does a good job. ### 2/5 — Pretty good app *2019-11-17* Nice alternative to Safari, but kinda slow on the iPad 2. Latest version - all sorts of ads are getting through now even with the paid version ### 1/5 — Not working with the new iPhone update *2019-10-13, version 3.9* This is now not working as you can’t rotate the screen since the new iPhone update so can only view upwards. It now has just the home page and seriously needs fixing also adverts! It will also now not let you send emails to the APP makers about the above problems ### 1/5 — Does NOT block YouTube ads *2019-10-09, version 3.9* Pointless really. ### 1/5 — What happened *2019-09-15, version 3.9* This app used to work so well, now it is buggy and the chrome cast feature doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Not working anymore *2019-08-25* I don’t know why it isn’t working anymore. It used to work great. Now, when I try, for instance, to read a recipe online, I’m inundated with stupid ads. By the way, I do NOT “click” on ANY of these intrusive ads! Ad block—what happened? You’re no longer worthy of the name! “Fail to block” works now! ### 1/5 — In a word *2019-07-24, version 3.9* Yuck! ### 4/5 — Add Blocker. *2019-06-26* This AddBlocker Actually works no adds but it does tend to block some other things probably because there is an add in the content. I would say that the blocker works,but isn’t a shame that we should need a blocker. ### 1/5 — Bunch of craps *2019-06-26, version 3.9* Truly bad. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Didn't work *2024-04-27, version 3.9* Didn't remove any ads. Also too many ads to even get to the settings. Deleted! ### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS!!!!! *2021-12-21, version 3.9* The very minute I opened the app, it brought me to a weird website say that “I’m being hacked” or a “virus is attacking my iPhone”. Delete! ### 1/5 — Please update the app. *2021-10-15, version 3.9* Was working fine until the iOS 15 update was released, now the Adblock app seems to no longer work. It crashes instantly. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2021-08-29, version 3.9* The app keeps crashing The app keeps crashing The app keeps crashing The app keeps crashing The app keeps crashing The app keeps crashing The app keeps crashing The app keeps crashing The app keeps crashing The app keeps crashing The app keeps crashing The app keeps crashing The app keeps crashing The app keeps crashing The app keeps crashing The app keeps crashing THE APP KEEPS CRASHING ### 1/5 — Add Block *2021-07-22, version 3.9* This app should go out to the woods and get lost. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-12-12, version 3.9* Still getting pop ups even after paying for the app. Doesn’t,t work on my iPad or Android. ### 1/5 — .... WHAT? *2020-03-25, version 3.9* I don't know how to block it and it always glitched out. Like ughhhh 😑 ### 1/5 — Don’t work *2020-02-09, version 3.9* Doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Don’t work that’s all *2020-01-23, version 3.9* Wow ### 1/5 — Total fraud *2019-12-21, version 3.9* This thing is a fraud, I challenge you to open the browser, go on YouTube and play a video, any video. This thing doesn’t filter ads at all, every time I am greeted by an add, this thing is nothing like AdNauseam the BEST adblocker out there. Save the data and memory space and skip this one. It’s not worth it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Chaka boom *2024-12-07, version 3.9* ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ really good for me l had for years and reliable, recommended frequently! I originally found it via a Goobely ad, and that’s the last Ad l saw! Thankyou AB your tops to me! 👍 ### 5/5 — love this app *2024-06-12* only downside is that SOMETIMES vpns don't work on it, but doesn't matter that much ### 5/5 — 1 PM *2022-09-17* Very helpful I’m glad that you’re there thank you very much ### 5/5 — I like this app *2022-04-18, version 3.9* It s very good! ### 5/5 — It works!!! *2020-07-15* People who are giving this bad reviews are idiots who don’t know how to read. I see so many complaints about ads still showing up on your games, etc... People, the app specifically states it blocks ads in SAFARI!!! This just goes to show how important it is to take reviews with a grain of salt. Personally, I couldn’t be happier with it. Works exactly as described. ### 5/5 — Seems to work pretty good *2020-03-03, version 3.9* I haven't updated because of the comments but the version I have seems to work very well. I deleted the awful youtube app. Sure the odd 5 second ad comes in but much better than the disease of marketing that the actual Youtube App is infested with. ### 5/5 — Mr bean *2019-04-28, version 3.9* Very good app to protect websites ### 5/5 — Good but... *2019-03-30, version 3.9* I’m waiting for the update to use de chromecast device ### 5/5 — Was the best out there *2019-02-16* I’ve used this for about 5-6 years and it has normally been great. I originally gave it a five star back then. Now it is back to a great app after the last update to correct problems. Thank you for correcting. ### 5/5 — Great *2018-09-23, version 3.6* The best. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
