Im getting ads on my games again, even changing my settings do nothing **Developer response:** 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. ### 3/5 — 语言错误 *2026-05-10* 简体中文被设定成英语了。 **Developer response:** 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 ### 2/5 — Perfection often disabled *2026-05-06* 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. **Developer response:** 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. ### 2/5 — Anmelden mit dieser App direkt auf Apple nicht möglich *2026-05-05* 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. **Developer response:** 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. ### 2/5 — stopped working *2026-04-30* 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. **Developer response:** 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. ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2026-03-30* 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. ### 1/5 — 配置太复杂，用起来很累 *2026-03-10* 买了AdGuard的全功能全家桶，本来冲着跨平台+全家共享去的，结果实际用下来非常失望。 各个模块（AdGuard、Pro、VPN等）功能重叠又独立，DNS设置在VPN里能用，在Pro里也要单独搞，规则、过滤器、例外列表到处跑，同一个功能要跑好几个App里设置一遍。想实现“系统级去广告+隐私保护+VPN”就得反复跳来跳去调参数，新手根本摸不着头脑，老手也觉得繁琐低效。 广告确实能拦不少，但配置成本太高，用着用着就累了，完全没有“买了就能爽”的感觉。希望官方能出一个真正整合的“一键全家桶”模式，把DNS、过滤、VPN这些核心功能统一到一个App里，简化流程，不然性价比真的打折扣 **Developer response:** 您好！感谢您在百忙之中抽出时间为 AdGuard DNS 软件撰写评价。请注意，如果您的手机上已经安装了 AdGuard 或 AdGuard Pro 广告拦截软件，则无需再次下载 AdGuard DNS 应用。此外，AdGuard 广告拦截程序与 AdGuard VPN 提供了整合模式，您只需在广告拦截软件中设置 DNS 服务器即可。AdGuard 团队 💚️ ### 3/5 — I’m confused *2026-02-27* Why does this app exist when adguard already has DNS? This just causes confusion. **Developer response:** Hello! The AdGuard DNS app is designed for users who do not use AdGuard Ad Blocker and want to benefit specifically from DNS-level protection. If you have any questions, please contact us at support@adguard.com. ### 1/5 — Отстой! *2026-02-22* Рекламу не блокирует! **Developer response:** Здравствуйте! Веб-сервис AdGuard DNS фильтрует базовую рекламу на большом количестве устройств. Это и возможность управления своими запросами — его основные преимущества. Если же вам нужна максимальная фильтрация, рекомендуем приложение AdGuard Блокировщик рекламы. А если остались вопросы или нужна помощь — напишите нам на support@adguard-dns.io, будем рады помочь. ### 2/5 — What difference does it make now? *2026-02-19* Stopped working after a week. Even after disabling and reenabling, it no longer does what it used to do. **Developer response:** Hello! All management is performed in your AdGuard DNS web dashboard. Please make sure you have not reached the maximum query limit if you’re on the free Starter plan, as your traffic becomes unfiltered once the limit is exceeded. If that’s the case, you can upgrade to the Personal plan. And if you have any questions or need help, please contact us at support@adguard-dns.io. ### 1/5 — Worst thing ever *2026-02-12* Doesn’t block ads in other apps **Developer response:** Hello! AdGuard DNS is designed to filter simple ads and trackers across many devices, plus query management features. However, ads in apps like YouTube cannot be blocked with DNS. If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact us at support@adguard-dns.io. ### 4/5 — いいね *2026-02-01* VPNも使えるのでおすすめ、設定は DNS-over-qulcだよー ### 2/5 — Ну *2026-01-27* Скачала чтобы убрать рекламы с chai все было хорошо но сейчас вообще не работает **Developer response:** Здравствуйте! AdGuard DNS в основном блокирует простую рекламу. Для более сложной и динамической рекламы предназначено наше другое приложение — AdGuard Ad Blocker. Но в любом случае, если вы замечаете пропущенную рекламу или нужна помощь, лучше написать нам в поддержку на support@adguard-dns.io, чтобы мы могли корректно обработать ваше обращение. Будем рады! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-07-27* Not only does it not block ads, it also made my safari not work. Don’t recommend. **Developer response:** 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. ### 1/5 — Not blocking ads *2026-07-26* I use dns-over-QUIC (vpn) and it doesn’t even help to block ads on iOS **Developer response:** 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. ### 1/5 — アップデート後、広告ブロックしなくなった *2026-07-22* 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。 **Developer response:** レビューいただきありがとうございます。 ご質問やご不明な点がありましたら、 気楽に support@adguard.com にお問い合わせください。 ### 1/5 — ick *2026-06-15* doesn’t work at all **Developer response:** 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. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-05-18* Not only does it not work, it’s very confusing. And it says it will monitor your traffic on your iPhone. **Developer response:** 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. ### 1/5 — 有料 *2026-04-26* 有料 **Developer response:** 您好！感谢您在百忙之中抽出时间为 AdGuard DNS 软件写下评价。如果您在使用 AdGuard DNS 时遇到了问题，请随时向support@adguard-dns.io 反馈您的问题，我们将竭诚为您解决。AdGuard 团队💚️ ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-03-21* I have configured the profile successfully numerous times. There is no user error. This app just no longer works. **Developer response:** Hello! For troubleshooting, please reach us directly at support@adguard-dns.io. ### 1/5 — Что это *2026-03-20* 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 ))) **Developer response:** 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. ### 1/5 — nonfunctional *2026-03-18* didnt even work **Developer response:** 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. ### 1/5 — Нельзя настроить автономно без входа в аккаунт *2026-03-14* Требует учетную запись на сайте, без не не работает **Developer response:** Здравствуйте! Конечно, AdGuard DNS — это веб-сервис, который управляется через учётную запись, а приложение лишь упрощает настройку на устройстве. Если вы хотите использовать DNS без учётной записи, можно воспользоваться публичными серверами AdGuard DNS. А если нужна помощь, пишите нам на support@adguard-dns.io. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing DNS *2026-08-10* Efficient, fast, affordable ### 5/5 — Polybuzz user *2026-07-29* So good! absolutely ZERO ads on polybuzz you just have to use your brain a bit to understand how to connect it 😀 ### 5/5 — I just love this app *2026-06-21* Deleting all those opal etc, this gives me so much strictness to block whatever I want. ### 5/5 — Actually works *2026-06-06* So many apps I use have so many ads, and it’s genuinely driving me insane.
