I don’t know why? It means must turn off it to open a site. So it maybe not useful. —It cannot detect and block IP addresses, nor can it block main domains such as **.example.com. Anyone using the same IP address can easily bypass the blocking by changing the domain name or using IPv6. Furthermore, unlike a firewall, it doesn't block unauthorized requests before a connection occurs. Its functionality is very limited and not foolproof. It has some effectiveness against honest trackers; otherwise, it's just a waste of time. when I unblocked a domain in recently activity list and it already in custom list before, I found that i can't reopen that switch directly on activity page, I have to switch to custom list and search for domain, then reopen it. And it cannot identify which app the traffic is coming from. ### 3/5 — Deceptive Terms *2025-08-20* The app works excellently for the first 10,000 trackers. It then encourages users to either subscribe to a plan for unlimited tracking or share the app (shame!) to receive another 5000 free trackers blocked. Be aware of this apps limits before you download it. Shame on the developer for not making these terms immediately clear on opening the app, encouraging dependency with a sudden cut off. ### 3/5 — Buggy *2024-10-21* Constantly resets itself. The initial popup/instruction you get seems to be based of an old ios version that's probably why so many people have trouble with it turning itself off. It also seems to be very buggy since it doesn't always remember settings because when I check email protection it resets itself center. The subscription charge is too expensive for what you're getting. There should a one time fee, but even then I wouldn't pay because it's too buggy. **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. What you're seeing is definitely not the expected user experience. Please reach out to our support team at support@disconnect.me so they can help troubleshoot why the app's settings are resetting for you. ### 5/5 — Great app overall *2024-09-03* As a newbie who really didn’t know much on how to go about protecting my data and my general security - this app really did make it simple for me to use and understand but also comprehensive… would recommend! ### 5/5 — Hobocobbin *2024-06-22, version 1.1.0* Great app works extremely good ### 5/5 — CEO *2024-06-10, version 1.1.0* phenomenal just phenomenal.

Thank you DNT good Job 👍 ### 4/5 — Spyware *2024-05-14, version 1.1.0* Does this app protect me from family members ect from using spyware without me knowing ? ### 5/5 — Gardien de la vie privée *2024-04-26* Excellente appli pour filtrer en tache de fond les traqueurs des applications. On le lance et on l’oublie ! ### 5/5 — Life saver *2024-04-11* Battery saver honestly I have an apple iPhone and I thought it was doing everything I needed to block trackers but wow this really works so much better ### 5/5 — Does block trackers but no one is talking about it online why? *2024-03-16* Where is yalls website?

This app hasn't been updated with the last bug fixes and full compatibility for iOS 18 or any iOS 18 updates!!! Yes it still works but since it hasn't been optimized and updated for the latest iOS version it uses more battery than it should and it has so many bugs and errors!!! There's so many bugs in the app and because it's not optimized for iOS 18 the battery drains much faster than it should! Yes I know you can update some things server side I'm fully aware of that, but things like the code ano everything that makes up the app can't be updated server side it has to be updated via the App Store and do not track hasn't been updated on iOS since November 2022!!! My subscription is soon expiring and I will not be renewing it until the app is updated for the current version of iOS!!! I'm not paying for it subscribing to an app that's not posted regularly to address bugs or glitches in the app! Please update the app like you update!! Fixes the bugs and other things in the app to make the app work even better!! Because until the app is updated to at least make it optimized and fully compatible with iOS 18 l won't be renewing my subscription, l've had this app since 2021 and but I won't pay for something that's not regularly updated to make it work the best that it could possibly be. This app has great potential and power to give users more control over their privacy it due to lack of bug's fixes and updates it's not blocking some trackers like it should be doing due to the code in the app being over 2 years old!! (Update, will update my review when the update arrives to the app and fixes the current issues) ### 1/5 — Technician *2024-12-15, version 1.1.0* The email blocker is sub par won’t stay on the strict setting ### 1/5 — Hasn’t been update in over a year!!!! *2024-05-14, version 1.1.0* This app hasn’t been updated in over a year meanwhile disconnect premium and privacy pro recently got updated with the last bug fixes and compatibility for iOS 17 but this app hasn’t been updated at all!,, why?? There’s so many bugs in the app and because it’s not optimized for iOS 17 the battery drains much faster than it should! Yes I know you can update some things server side I’m aware of that but things like the code that makes up the app and everything else can’t be updated server side it has to be updated via the App Store!!! I just paid my subscription for this app and it hasn’t been updated! If the app isn’t updated soon I’m canceling my subscription and will be moving to a replaced app!! Pleas update the app like you update disconnect premium!! Fixes the bugs and other things in the app to make the app work even better!! ### 1/5 — I HATE THIS APP *2023-06-14, version 1.1.0* this has left me hurt inside and it doesn't work like its suppose to. i really dislike this app. i would give it a zero but instead i will give it a one. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t block ads on YouTube *2022-12-23* PLEASE BLOCK ADS ON YOUTUBE! My edit 23 December 2022: I have to download again, but it didn’t block ads on YouTube again, but I can’t block ads for now. **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your feedback with us! None of our products are designed to specifically block ads as our focus is on blocking third-party tracking. What this means is that we only block ads that are third-party and privacy invasive. That being said, we are constantly adding more trackers to our blocklist to ensure we are offering the best protection we possibly can from trackers. ### 1/5 — Be careful using this app. *2022-08-03, version 1.0.4* Amazon will suspend your account for using this app. ### 1/5 — Turns off when you put your device Down. *2021-12-26, version 1.0.4* Why would you allow the VPN tracking blocker to casually turn off when I put my device down? That means most of the time you’re not even doing what you say you’re to do MOST of the time! All: if you want REAL tracking protection, this is not the app for you! ### 2/5 — Last updated 3 years ago on November 10th 2022 *2025-11-11, version 1.1.0* This app hasn't been updated in over 3 years!! This app hasn't been updated with the latest bug fixes and full compatibility for iOS 26 or any iOS 26 updates!!! Yes, it still works, but since it hasn't been optimized and updated for the latest iOS version, it uses more battery than it should and has so many bugs and errors!!! There are so many bugs in the app, and because it's not optimized for iOS 26, the battery drains much faster than it should! Yes, I know you can update some things server-side. I'm fully aware of that, but things like the code and everything that makes up the app can't be updated server-side. It has to be updated via the App Store. “Do not track” hasn't been updated on iOS since November 2022!!! My subscription is soon expiring, and I don’t think I’ll be renewing it until the app is updated for the current version of iOS!!! I'm not paying for a subscription to an app that's not updated regularly to address bugs or glitches in the app! Please update the app like you update!! Fixes the bugs and other things in the app to make the app work even better!! Because until the app is updated to at least make it optimized and fully compatible with iOS 26, I won't be renewing my subscription. I've had this app since 2021, but I won't pay for something that's not regularly updated to make it work the best that it could possibly be. This app has great potential and power to give users more control over their privacy it due to lack of bug's fixes and updates it's not blocking some trackers like it should be doing due to the code in the app being over 3 years old!! (will update my review when the update arrives to the app and fixes the current issues) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Do not track *2026-01-10, version 1.1.0* Awesome app thanks ### 5/5 — meilleurs vpn possible *2025-04-12* franchement j'y croyais pas mais la c'est incroyable c'est tres simple gratuit et trop trop pratique. sa enleve les pub de toutes les apps du pure genie merci aux développeur ### 5/5 — amazing *2025-04-01, version 1.1.0* I found out that applovin and google were tracking me for no apparent reason ### 5/5 — Protecting *2025-02-04, version 1.1.0* Seems to be blocking trackers pretty well so far a day in ### 5/5 — Sites I don’t ever visit TRY to track me… weird *2025-01-09* I go through phones a lot and this is the 1st app I make sure is installed. Also has WORKING option to auto-run that actually auto runs unlike many other apps I tried that for whatever reason end up off and I don’t know it. So it’s nice every time I check this is always on. No annoying pop up’s or adds just a RARE legitimate app that works great !! But also offers even more protection for a couple dollars if you decide to upgrade which after you see who and just how much we are being tracked not a bad investment if you’re sick of basic privacy invasions. They don’t force it down your throat either. Also, Not only can you see the sites it blocks, you can easily add your own, modify how strict it is or isn’t, and what’s great(but super weird) is you can see sites like TikTok, instagram, and a bunch of other super popular sites I literally NEVER visit or use EVER that are blocked from trying to track me. ### 5/5 — Could you guys make a one time buy pro version of the app? *2024-12-20* I don’t want to spend money every month. Can you guys just make an app that is a one time buy thing? It could be called Do not track pro and you can use the name I don’t care **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback on how you would prefer to access the paid features in the app. We will look into if this is something we can offer. The only way we make money is when people subscribe and pay. ### 5/5 — Sites I don’t even use try to track me *2024-11-16* I wont use phone anymore without this app that’s actually free(Nothing’s “free”) and weirdest/best part of it is I’ve got sites I never use or go to tracking me or with this app at least trying. How weird is that? I also like that I can add sites and adjust the level of tracker blocking protection per site individually. ### 5/5 — Great app to block enterprise hacking *2024-10-24* Even can make apple XNU open source team angry. Blocks remote e-sim installs. Mastering this app and understanding it will qualify one for an degree. Sorry Zip Zayo, Data Dog, Sentinel and all 145 pages of apple deployment pancakes and snooty smoots. Great way to fill up your GSA tank is you’re running low on RAM. The devs are smelling what I’m selling. Great app! FYI, they can override you so please build in enterprise blocking baseline, if you’re legally allowed to. ### 5/5 — WOW. *2024-10-02* I consider myself pretty highly tech savvy. Not a master in cyber security/online privacy/Tor/etc., but I try to learn as much as I can every day, and I think I’m somewhat knowledgeable. but I had no idea the extent of how bad app tracking and data harvesting and just the general manipulation and tricky that goes into every single thing we do online every single move we make opening an app everything if you do anything on your phone and then go to this app while it’s turned on you’ll see it blocked a tracker… for like pretty much everything.. it’s CRAZY. Why haven’t I heard of anything else like this? Why is there nothing else like this? (as far as I know)… and if there is, what are they? why isn’t this more widely known and in the privacy discussion as much as a VPN or whatever. This strikes me as so much more useful that most privacy tools. love it …. ### 5/5 — The App *2024-09-15, version 1.1.0* I love how it is set up and easy for a person with this app to utilize it’s features to spot who’s snooping around on them. DNT has helped me alot because with my old android I was getting my phone turned inside out. I believe more features should be on it. Maybe just like 2 maybe 3 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
