No update in 9 years

Lately this app is causing every website I visit to give me an error. The only way to see the site is to turn off the content blocker. Time to find a new ad blocker.

No longer working properly

The app appears to no longer work correctly in iOS 26. It does block some content but the whitelist doesn’t seem to work anymore.

Do not buy

No dev support for years. Does nothing. I regret buying this.

かえって広告がでる

ここ最近アドセンス系広告がいきなり出るようになり、こちらを削除したら消えました…

Blocks everything but YouTube

Works perfectly with regular websites. Do not work on YouTube

waste of money

cant believe i paid money for this. it does nothing

Totally broken

Blocks every single website now

Crystal link to Twitter

This app not only did not function as Malware, it installed “X” on my iphone. Ingregious and repetitive ads sold and promoted by Google were and-are—continuous. This app is a rip-off!

Stopped working years ago. Zero updates!

Avoid. The developer hasn’t supported this app in many years. Doesn’t stop anything anymore. Complete waste.

Application morte

Plus de mise à jour, ne sert plus à rien

Abandoned. Nonfunctional. Wasn't great to begin with.

UPDATE: I no longer recommend Crystal at all. It has been abandoned for many years. Likely it was abandoned immediately after it was created.

The block list is ancient to the point of being irrelevant. Every single ad I reported to the developer since the app was released years ago never got added to the blocklist. Any updates to the blocklist provided since release have long since stopped years ago.

The final release of the app merely added an "acceptable ads" feature: that is, enabling even more ads to get through its already weak defenses.

No Longer Works

Worked fine and still blocked most ads for me. The n the last few weeks it stops working on Google search (prevents me from searching and blocks the click through url)

Long gone

Was good while it lasted. Looks like the app and website have been abandoned

It’s not working anymore

All settings are ok but it’s not working anymore

Doesn’t work

Loads of ads trickling through now as compared to when I originally started using I guess they have sold out ? Don’t waste your money

Deleted & now looking for something that works

On ipad 4 not work

In the description it is written that it supports ipad 4, in fact does not support. Threw 50 cents to the wind…

No longer works

Years ago, when this app was first introduced, it worked. It hasn't worked correctly the last 2 years that I have tried using it. No updates, nothing. A forgotten app.

Реклама!

Реклама все равно лезет! Программа-то платная, какого все равно пропускает из?!

Doesn’t block enough ads

Does NOT block enough ads. There’s an option for “acceptable ads” but it disregards the setting as Google ads always seem to bypass this option. Please add adblocking within apps.

Used to work

Don’t bother
