Thanks ### 5/5 — Great *2026-07-12, version 4.5.21* Does whatever you want to and blocks out whatever you don’t want ### 5/5 — Superb ad blocking solution *2026-07-11, version 4.5.21* Adguard is a phenomenal app for blocking ads in Safari and also system-wide ### 5/5 — Simple to configure *2026-07-10, version 4.5.21* Easy to setup and use. Doesn’t get in the way. Download and install ASAP. ### 5/5 — The best app for blocking ads *2026-07-10, version 4.5.21* I've been using this app now for several years both on my Windows and Mac computers as well as iOS one of the best apps out there I've seen so far for blocking ads in web browsers and even in apps ### 5/5 — AdGuard pro *2026-07-09, version 4.5.21* Hi use this app and it run good ### 5/5 — Greatest App *2026-07-09, version 4.5.21* I make sure to download this app immediately when I set up a new device. The ad-blocking wonders can hardly be overstated. ### 5/5 — I’m a network security engineer *2026-07-09, version 4.5.21* It works, blocks ads…and many more if you look through settings ### 5/5 — Worth the price *2026-07-09, version 4.5.21* One time purchase, I’ve had virus protection ever since. I just saw some one recommend this on Reddit and gave it a shot. I’m impressed. If you’re looking for an adblocker, I’d say this is well worth it. ### 5/5 — 👍🏻🙌🏻🤩 *2026-07-07, version 4.5.21* ❤️‍🔥🇺🇸✝️ ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-07-07, version 4.5.21* It does the blocking very effective ### 5/5 — Safari quicker and Meta stopped *2026-07-06, version 4.5.21* Without all the tracking, Safari is running quicker. I think (I’m no expert) the DNS feature helps block Meta tracking. Yes, I requested it not to track, but I don’t trust Meta as ads still seem linked to my searches. Now, with AdGuard this seems to have gone away. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-07-04, version 4.5.21* Works good ### 5/5 — Best ad blocker *2026-07-04, version 4.5.21* Been using Adguard for years best adblocker by miles cheap effective a must for privacy ### 4/5 — Problem reloading rules *2026-07-04, version 4.5.21* Has a problem reloading rules ### 5/5 — The best anti-tracker available. *2026-07-03, version 4.5.21* The mix of excellent standard and regional filter configuration, makes this app the best available. Online advertises and marketing companies won't like it for sure. ### 4/5 — not updating *2026-07-03, version 4.5.21* Not updating to iOS 18.6.2 ### 5/5 — Bugs *2026-07-03, version 4.5.21* The best ad blocker out there. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bug *2026-07-30, version 4.5.21* Is there no way to turn off advanced protection? It keeps turning back on ### 1/5 — Don’t purchase *2026-07-14, version 4.5.21* Don’t buy the subscription if you ever cancel it they will still force you to pay for it! Locked me out from being able to download any apps in the App Store and stopped my updates even though I cancelled the subscription. ### 1/5 — Essential, but ignores review request prefs *2026-07-01, version 4.5.21* Sometimes blocks Apple Music, though, if using the adguard dns servers. I have to use a local blocklist and a different DNS provider. ### 1/5 — Great, good, ok, not so good… *2026-06-28, version 4.5.20* Update 6/28/26- 1* this app used to the gold standard on mobile. But Ads all over now like yahoo or empty spaces or locked pages which don’t allow me to scroll like Reddit. What’s happened to this app? Update 11/23/24 - taking away stars again. Disable adblocking popups getting through now. What is happening to this app? I may need to find a better one soon I’ve been a long time user and it used to be great. Recently, with the new updates, there seem to be ads getting through. Not sure what has happened but this app has become steadily worse over time. Really a bummer because I love this app. ### 1/5 — Review *2026-06-03, version 4.5.20* This worked several weeks ago, but now on yahoo.com it allows all ads. I should be refunded my money. ### 1/5 — Worked for so long, but seems broken now since you changed a relay server *2026-04-13, version 4.5.18* Now it just disconnects and keeps trying to reconnect the VPN instantly since April 7th, 2026. Making the app useless and the AdGuard Reddit mod dismisses it since it “works for him!” and the users seeing the problem go unanswered ☹️ ### 1/5 — DNS-сервер не работает *2026-04-07* Не работает интернет полностью, если включен DNS-сервер AdGuard. Отключаешь его — интернет есть. **Developer response:** Здравствуйте! В РФ заблокировали Plain DNS и AdGuard DNS DoH. Рекомендуем использовать зашифрованный DNS, а именно протокол DoT. ### 1/5 — Does not block NYT audio ads. *2026-02-27, version 4.5.16* I just spent ten bucks for this app to block the shrieking audio ads that precede the New York Times "automated voice" reading of individual news articles. Turned on all of the AdGuard switches in Settings.But: no luck! The audio ads still shriek and I have wasted $9.99. ### 1/5 — Does not block ads! Wste of 10 bucks! *2026-01-29, version 4.5.15* I bought this app very specifically becuse it says it blocks ads from the NYTimes app. Nope, not at all. I am still seeing ads. ### 1/5 — Used to work great not anymore after the new iOS update it stopped working at all shame *2025-12-29, version 4.5.14* Great app but think iOS 18 broke it ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Others failed this one successful works thanks *2026-08-18, version 4.5.21* If just works every time Thanks Jon ### 5/5 — Excellent Adblocker *2026-07-28, version 4.5.21* Its an Excellent Adblocker , works like a charm, updates quickly and Excellent Value for money, Top Class A + + + + + ### 5/5 — Ad Guard is the best. *2026-07-28, version 4.5.21* Ad Guard is the best. ### 5/5 — Exceptional ad blocker *2026-07-26, version 4.5.21* Does what it says - blocks ads very well. That says it all! ### 5/5 — Best set and forget So far *2026-07-21, version 4.5.21* Nice program ### 5/5 — Tried all the rest, for me this one is the best. *2026-07-20, version 4.5.21* Tried all the rest, for me this one is the best. And with it running in integrated mode (AdGuard Pro + AdGuard VPN) I see no reason to go back. Two issues: 1) Be sure it works with your antivirus (Sophos not compatible) 2) Your banking app may not connect with the VPN running (nor do they with other VPN apps (ie Nord, Express). ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-07-16, version 4.5.21* Great for privacy ### 5/5 — 好东西 *2026-07-13, version 4.5.21* 效果非常好👍 ### 5/5 — Must for NSFW *2026-07-12, version 4.5.21* I hate the million of ads while browsing hentai this is what the internet should be ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2026-07-12, version 4.5.21* Saved me so much time --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
