So yeah one star. If it works with games cool great but that’s not what’s advertised here ### 1/5 — Delete *2024-09-23, version 2.3.1* Misleading. ### 4/5 — Ad block app *2024-07-25, version 2.2* Not a very good app ### 1/5 — Free App? *2024-07-20, version 2.2* Don’t say something is free if it isn’t free!!! Total bait and switch ### 2/5 — How Big Corporations operates! *2024-07-01* It is a shame that Apple has to nickel and dime their users. You should be ashamed of yourself ### 5/5 — That would be awesome to not have ads popping up on every website on the computer. *2024-06-24* i am looking forward to be on my computer and not be cut off to watch ads. That was bad when Iwas playing a game. ### 5/5 — Stop bothering me! *2024-06-08, version 2.1* 5# ### 1/5 — IT SAID FREE I GOT NO MONEY *2024-04-20, version 2.0* LIKE ALL I WANTED WAS TO WATCH JJK BUT NAH I NEED PREMIUM AND IT SAID AIR ON JAPAN. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t block no dam ads *2024-04-20* They won’t refund you even though it doesn’t do anything it says ### 1/5 — Yup *2024-03-28, version 1.9* It’s bad ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — A Computer VR world *2025-06-24, version 2.3.4* Run by gay ai bots, not the “real” world. They target you ONLINE and IRL. They control/manipulate the “algorithm” the ads nsfw etc are on purpose! ### 1/5 — Still get pop-up *2025-06-09* You are taking $12 from my checking account under the service titled Aura. My iPhone battery life has decreased considerably. It will not hold a charge. I am getting pop-up on all my apps ### 1/5 — I have premium and is doesn’t work. *2025-04-27, version 2.3.4* Doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Awful - don’t get *2025-02-07* I bought this thinking it was 8 dollars a month but it’s actually a week. That is my fault but there is no way to cancel ur subscription. I emailed them 3 times with no response and sent 2 support messages with no response. Save yourself the trouble and get another one!!!! ### 1/5 — Bad app *2025-01-12, version 2.3.4* I can’t block ads ### 1/5 — Ads *2024-12-23, version 2.3.3* I keep getting ads on FB! ### 1/5 — Not working *2024-12-16, version 2.3.3* Help ### 1/5 — no free option *2024-12-02* I was using this to see ip and use the web tester but now the adblock option that was free at 50% is erased, so no reason anymore to keep this app. ### 1/5 — Bull**** Detected *2024-12-02, version 2.3.2* I can literally say the exact same as other critical reviewers, only thing I will add is the devs are lying, literally ALL of the features that you would even download this app in the first place for are behind a 9.99 weekly paywall. Including (but not limited to) THE ADBLOCK FEATURE ITSELF. To the devs, you may as well price the app at 9.99 from the app store and cut out the middle man, because I literally have had this app on my phone for 35 seconds. ### 1/5 — You are a thief!!! *2024-11-17, version 2.3.2* You still say I am not protected even tho I paid money to fix this !!! Shame on you!!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — AdWise&AdBlock&VPN *2026-02-19* an excellent way to keep your phone Ad free and have the relaxation of knowing that your phone is truly safe from any one trying to scam or ruin your phone one way or the other ! i feel safe with the protection of AdWise & AdBlock&VPN you want to feel and be safe get this and you will be!!!!! ### 5/5 — Owner *2025-12-15* Great but please allow me to use your program I’m 62 snowman in I will.
