The worst

Make it over Standard Fit me

Can’t be beat

Thank you to Romain and Olivier and all the team on continuing to lead the way with next level cybersecurity. This is so amazing with a very simple and powerful toolset. The most incredible application for security I’ve ever used

App keeps getting better with every update

The nextDNS service as a whole is pretty good. The app takes it to another level, making it easy to customize when the DNS turns on and off. One of my biggest ask of excluding which domains avoid the native DNS has also been added. Every update is awesome with new features getting added

Exceptional

This app is excellent. It blocks all manner of trackers, ad-servers and other undesirable stuff. Online tracking and surveillance is rife and totally out of control. This is what your ISP should be doing. Until then NextDNS does it all for you. How about a widget so you can monitor analytics?

So far so good

Does not block every ad, but that is probably an unreasonable expectation. While streaming, it reduces it to a tolerable amount of ads. I would like to have a toggle in the command center, shortcuts integration, and SIRI integration, to turn it on and off easier. I did not like the live activity integration, but was able to turn that off.
