Epic fail..

Doesn't work at all

iOS 27 stopped working

Well, it was a great run. I liked this app for its simplicity and not having to rely on third-party services. However, it hasn’t been updated for 5+ years. As far as I can tell on iOS 27, it has stopped working entirely, even though it appears to still be functioning…it just isn’t blocking anything. I’m going to try NextDNS instead.

Quality Has Tanked

This used to be a 10/10 service that worked for 99% of my needs. After the iOS 27 update it appears to only block a portion of the ad pop ups from apps. The “contact support” button in the app doesn’t work either.

iOS 27+ Update

WHEN WE DROPPING?????

Good while it lasted

Worked great for about a week then stopped working all together. It still turns on, but it doesn’t block anything anymore.

Ios27 messes this app up

TURN OFF CONNECTIVITY ASSIST IN WIFI SETTINGS. It connects to an Apple DNS and bypasses this adblocker entirely. That’s why ads are showing in apps with this app. You have to turn that setting off in both your main WiFi settings and the individual WiFi network you use at home.

Still works with iOS 27, just change a setting

I experienced the same issue others have noted after updating to iOS 27. It was frustrating and I was about to give up on this app. But the issue is not with the app, it’s with iOS 27’s new Connectivity Assist for WiFi. It works differently than the old WiFi Assist in iOS 26. Without getting into the technical details, just turn that option off in Settings -> WIFi and you will find AdBlock is back to blocking ads just as it always had been.
If you absolutely need the WiFi Connectivity feature, unfortunately, you are probably out of luck until Apple changes how it works — if they ever do.

Stopped working after iOS 27

This app worked great until iOS 27. It no longer blocks ads on iPhone apps but still does so far on iPad. Update please!

Stops working by itself

Have to keep restarting it

Broken On iPhone 18

This is a great app, have used it for many years. Both iPhone and iPad used to work identically. However since I updated my phone to 18, there are problems. When I try to add a domain like moloco.com I get an error that it's already there but when I look, it's not. I have to add the higher level domain like ads.moloco.com. I sync the domains via iCloud. The lower level domain is present and blocked on the iPad but not on the iPhone. It's not the end of the world but I have to add all the more specific level domains.

Barely works, no updates in 5 years

Used to be great but abandoned by developers

Stopped Working

Used it for some time without issues. Rated it 5 stars. But now, it doesn’t work. I used it to block ads on smart news and other apps. It just doesn’t block ads anymore.

Does not work any more

Do not install it if you don’t want to hang during account activation

Worked until iOS 27

I wanted to let the developers know that while this thing has lasted this long with the latest update it has crashed and burned. I think they should be a conservative effort to update this to a modern era, but considering the last update was five years ago, I think they’ve been skating on their laurels and not spent the time to attribute to this what should have considerable effort to maintain the latest versions. The developers could absolutely do better.

Used to be flawless, no longer works

This app used to block all ads in all apps but ever since iOS 27, it no longer blocks anything. Too bad I hope they push an update soon and if so I’ll happily update to 5 stars as it was before.

Thought they were great

Thought they were great but when it stopped working absolutely zero support.

The app need to get fixed

The app was great until it started to stop blocking the ads on the games and the apps .
I wish they fixed it as soon as possible .

Does not support in-app blocking with iOS 27

I've been running iOS 27 since developer beta (and now general availability). This app did not block within apps during iOS 27 beta releases nor after general availability release.

Apps still have ads

Before I updated to IOS27, this would block ads in all my apps. Now, it does not. Why would I use this now? Fix it and I’ll change back to five stars.

Ads get through

This app used to eliminate ads from apps. That’s no longer the case. Apps are allowed to launch ads, and that makes this app irrelevant.
