Very helpful

This app blocks adds so it’s very good. And though it might block innocent things. It works

4 and a half stars

I love this app, it’s the only one on the iOS app store that actually blocks ads in various apps without the need of Safari, Chrome, or any other specific browser program. It just blocks the ads everywhere without issue, no matter what. I just wish it offered a flat, one-time-only lifetime payment fee instead of making you subscribe monthly or yearly. I would pay $100+ to this company without hesitation if it was just a one-time payment and nothing more. The monthly fee is “only” $2.99 but it’s still just frustrating because it seems like everything requires subscriptions nowadays instead of one-time payments. I remember a long time ago VPN apps and ad blockers used to be completely FREE to use and that was for the FULL, high-quality service provided, not a reduced quality of service to “penalize” you for not paying up. But all the free ones either disappeared or they started pushing you into a corner to sign up for an annoying subscription plans just to use the absolute bare minimum features, not even the high quality and long lasting features get a simple charge; it’s always tiered off. The more security and privacy you want, the higher and more frequently you have to pay. It’s bizarre tech people complain about privacy being stolen from them and the public by the government but the same tech people make it hard to regain out privacy and security online by charging consumers for things that they know they themselves used to provide for 100% free, no gimmicks. I love this app NextDNS and am so impressed with how it works against its’ competitors on the Apple app store, i just wish better options were available for people who dont want to keep making recurring payments for however long this service may continue to exist. I have this app on all of my Apple devices and would %100 recommend it to anyone and everyone. Its amazing , please just offer a one-time lifetime service payment instead of subscriptions. I’ll pay anything for that and that alone, no matter how many devices! Please! 🙏

Really good, blocks ads on the youtube app

Its really good , its simple and yeah

Scammers

I agree with AlClemsit! This app turned off my internet and I didn’t know what was wrong with it and I tried to figure it out for 3 days! Do not get this app because it’s a SCAM!

Went to Control D

This app didn’t update for 5 years.. this was concerning me. But without doubt a great DNS and features, but switched to Control D because of the activity of the company, being active..

Good, but iOS missing key feature compared to downloadable profiles

UPDATE: I did not know how to modify WiFi exclusions, so I’ve updated to 5 stars!

Unable to modify WiFi network and domain exclusions in the app.

Sweet

I’d like to see some shortcut action so I’d be able to trigger NextDNS for particular applications.

Mr

Always working great

New app has great quality of life features

Really love the new features and the temporary disabling of NextDNS. And having the website logged in directly into the app. Great update.
Just one feature request would be to exclude certain websites out of NextDNS like you can do to a configuration profile.

App Store problems

NextDNS can’t update apps

Why

It was working really good in the past but when I got to 300,00 queries and cleared it out, it was still refusing to work

То что надо для приватности

Хорошо блокируется реклама и слежка за пользователь

Amazing update thank you

Thank you so much for such an amazing update this new app is exactly what people have been waiting for.

Lag/disfunctional

Lags and doesnt even block ads

Almost perfect

I’ve used the config for a long time and have just switched back to the new(er) app. Can customize my profile still if need and quickly toggle it rather than fully disabling it in the settings. The one thing that would bring this over the top is being able to quickly toggle this outside the app using a shortcut or widget!

Great option for slightly better privacy

This, in conjunction with better settings on the phone can improve privacy. Set and forget, haven’t had any issues in over a year.

Please! Allow us to set our TTL cache to 3600 sec

It would be a lot easier on our devices battery life for tracking servers for Amazon and others that try constant pings as a punishment for using a block list 😣

Specifically having a issue with twitch app

There has been an issue where if you click on the channel points, bits, emotes or even chat it will start the animation but then not open. You have to click on it a few times before it works properly. I can’t be the only one experiencing this.

I’ve looked at the logs and allowed something’s that are being blocked and still no success for it to work normal.

I’m using the Hagezi pro blocklist. I’d love if this could get fixed or a way to disabled NextDNS for the twitch app cause it’s only on twitch that a weird issue has showed up like this.

Perfect

Works great at stopping adds even if other add blockers don’t work
