Amazing DNS

Efficient, fast, affordable

Polybuzz user

So good! absolutely ZERO ads on polybuzz you just have to use your brain a bit to understand how to connect it 😀

Doesn’t work

Not only does it not block ads, it also made my safari not work. Don’t recommend.

Response from developer

Hello! AdGuard DNS can block only simple ads. Its advantage is broad blocking across many devices, including routers. Regarding Safari, your settings were probably interfering somehow, as there should be no issues with iOS setup. Please write to us at support@adguard-dns.io for help.

Not blocking ads

I use dns-over-QUIC (vpn) and it doesn’t even help to block ads on iOS

Response from developer

Hello! DNS filtering only handles simple ads. For full ad blocking, we recommend using the AdGuard Ad Blocker app. If you need help with setup or have any questions, please write to support@adguard-dns.io.

アップデート後、広告ブロックしなくなった

ちょっと前に方式変えるとかなんとかあったと思いますが、アップデート後に広告ブロックしなくなった。

Just stopped working

Litteraly installed yesterday, worked fine, worked great, now? Im getting ads on my games again, even changing my settings do nothing

Response from developer

Hello! Please write to us at support@adguard-dns.io with your account and device details, along with a few screenshots of the issue, so we can provide proper assistance.

I just love this app

Deleting all those opal etc, this gives me so much strictness to block whatever I want.

ick

doesn’t work at all

Response from developer

Hello! If AdGuard DNS isn't working for you, it's likely just misconfigured — try the dedicated AdGuard DNS app on mobile, or write to us at support@adguard-dns.io for help.

Actually works

So many apps I use have so many ads, and it’s genuinely driving me insane. Cuz none of my ad blockers worked against them, this one did, so great job devs, you’re cool :3

Doesn’t work

Not only does it not work, it’s very confusing. And it says it will monitor your traffic on your iPhone.

Response from developer

Hello! We are sorry you feel this way. DNS alone cannot filter all ads — its purpose is to provide basic filtering, but across a large number of devices! If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact us at support@adguard-dns.io.

Response from developer

Hello! The AdGuard DNS app is one of the newest releases, thus further translation and improvements are on the way! If there is anything we can help you with, please contact us at support@adguard-dns.io

Perfection often disabled

I often find the protection to be disabled. I use the dns over quic feature. It doesn't get enabled on iPhone boot, not when I leave my wifi and there is no shortcut integration so I could build automation myself. I wish this will be added at some point.

Response from developer

Hello! Yes, our app is still relatively new, and many more features will be added in future updates. At the moment, the app works most reliably in Native mode, because VPN mode will be disabled if any other VPN application is running on the device. If you have any questions, please write to support@adguard-dns.io.

Anmelden mit dieser App direkt auf Apple nicht möglich

Anmelden mit dieser App direkt auf Apple nicht möglich, dass meine ich so: es wird zuerst ein Browserlink gestartet. Über den Browser erfolgt die Anmeldung erst dann ist eine Benutzung möglich d.h. es ist von direkten App Store getrennt. Wird auch wahrscheinlich so abgerechnet, dass es umsonst ist. Das glaub ich weniger. Meine Vermutung, es wird so gemacht, dass man es irgendwie wahrscheinlich anders bezahlen kann.Manche Ki,s verwenden den selben Trick, um die 20 % die an Apple gehen zu vermeiden, ist manchmal positiv. Machmal aber auch negativ. Bevor ich diese App nicht genauer kenne, werde ich sowas nicht machen. Sagen wir es mal so zu viele schlechte Erfahrungen gesammelt muss zwar nicht auf diese App zutreffen bin aber schon extrem geschädigt von solchen Apps. Das Geld bekommt man in 100 Jahren nicht zurück.
Anschreiben ist erwünscht. Bewertung könnte sich eventuell ändern.
Internetseite wurde extern überprüft, nichts verdächtiges aufgefallen. Alle Tests bestanden. Bis auf diese eigenartiger Weise komische Anmeldung über den Browser.

Response from developer

Hello! Authentication through the browser is implemented because it allows us to bypass local restrictions if there are any. Regarding payments, AdGuard DNS can be used for free, with the option to purchase a subscription. If you have any questions, please write to support@adguard-dns.io.

Best ad blocker

This app is definitely the best ad-blocker. It block all ads across browsers and online games too! With no charge of cost. Only the vpn ad blocker might consume your battery faster, so be sure to turn it off when not in use!

stopped working

I have used this app for such a long time and it always worked for the most part, however recently it stopped working altogether apart from website ads; which is pretty frustrating. before it randomly stopped working it worked in most apps and games.

Response from developer

Hello! AdGuard DNS is our newest application. Perhaps you confused it with the AdGuard AdBlocker app? The AdGuard DNS app can filter ads only at the DNS level and removes the simplest ads. Please write to us at support@adguard-dns.io with details of your account and device so we can help.

Pretty good

My only issue with this app is how some of my apps are detecting the ad blocker it did work most of the time though.

Doesn’t work

I have configured the profile successfully numerous times. There is no user error. This app just no longer works.

Что это

От чего защищает это приложение я вообще не понимаю, здесь не работает ни VPN не dns, ничего не меняется, зачем вы сделали это приложение как оно работает, пишет все подключено но на самом деле ничего не работает пишет что у меня включён VPN но по факту я имею IP то же )))

Response from developer

Здравствуйте! Приложение AdGuard DNS для iOS предназначено для настройки нашего DNS-сервиса. Он используется для базовой фильтрации рекламы на множестве устройств. Доступны нативный режим (без VPN) и режим VPN — он не меняет местоположение, а лишь обеспечивает фильтрацию. Если есть вопросы, напишите на support@adguard-dns.io.

nonfunctional

didnt even work

Response from developer

Hello! DNS on mobile devices provides only basic filtering and cannot block all ads — for the best results, please try the AdGuard AdBlocker app which you can get on our official website. And if you need assistance, feel free to contact us at support@adguard.com.
