I’ve tested it at least 10 times: AdBlock running, “Weather Undeground” app crashes Adblock NOT running: “Weather Underground” NEVER CRASHES. ### 5/5 — iOS 26+ Update *2026-05-22, version 4.7.3* WHEN WE DROPPING????? ### 1/5 — Ads 🤬🤬🤬 *2026-05-20, version 4.7.3* THIS ISN'T BLOCKING NO DAMN ADS WHATSOEVER !!!!!! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-05-16, version 4.7.3* Great way to minimise ads and trackers, love the DNS log feature so I can selectively block servers as needed ### 1/5 — Only works for safari *2026-05-14, version 4.7.3* Would be nice if it works for YouTube or games and all the other ads that shows ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-05-12, version 4.7.3* Simply doesn’t block ads on safari or Google Chrome ### 1/5 — After IOS 26.4 Update *2026-05-09, version 4.7.3* I’ve changed nothing within the app. And my level of Adds has increased, IP address still showing. Have not been happy with it since updating IOS Please Fix App ### 1/5 — No longer working well *2026-05-08, version 4.7.3* This used to work very well, but for the past few months it has allowed far too many ads. Going to switch to a different ad blocking app. ### 5/5 — It works *2026-05-03, version 4.7.3* Stops those annoying ads ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2026-05-03, version 4.7.3* I’ve used this app for years . I’m not technically inclined but the step by step video was extremely helpful ! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No good *2026-08-31, version 4.7.3* Absolutely useless. Didn’t last a minute. Failed utterly. ### 1/5 — No longer works *2026-07-26, version 4.7.3* Used to work great in games, now I get a constant stream of ads in apps. I used to recommend this to everyone. Not any more ### 1/5 — Streaming initialization failed *2026-07-14, version 4.7.3* I never came across this, why I would need to stop my Adblocker to watch a livestream, it was trying to access my data for some reason. Why should I allow? ### 1/5 — Hardly works anymore *2026-07-13, version 4.7.3* Adblock has been neutered. Doesn’t block much of anything anymore, whether on a phone or computer browser. Lame! ### 1/5 — Too many nags *2026-07-06, version 4.7.3* Any app that constantly nags me for a review is getting a bad one. ### 1/5 — It no longer works at all. *2026-06-19, version 4.7.3* No longer works at all. Negative 10 stars ### 1/5 — Great app to stop the endless adverts *2026-06-18, version 4.7.3* Does the job as it should and overcomes the need to accept cookies or pay on certain sites. However, although I have left a review, the app asks for a rating every time I open it. This is very annoying, hence my current rating instead of my previous five stars. Hopefully you will fix it. ### 1/5 — Ad blocking doesn’t work *2026-06-07, version 4.7.3* Ad blocking stopped working now ### 1/5 — Confusing set up money wasted *2026-06-05, version 4.7.3* Won’t even let me post a bad review ### 1/5 — App No Longer Updated *2026-05-28, version 4.7.3* This used to work great but it hasn’t been updated for years.
