Quick install, clear instructions, and the web is so much cleaner. Apple News is actually enjoyable, and my devices run smoother during morning news viewing. All this from the free version! ### 5/5 — Nickel *2026-07-17, version 3.2.0* Super ### 5/5 — This is the best *2026-07-17, version 3.2.0* 5 stars ### 5/5 — Good *2026-07-17, version 3.2.0* Good ### 5/5 — Ngon *2026-07-16, version 3.2.0* Cầm aimbody chs sinh tồn hay tc lộ hack quá cx chả ban ae nhớ lấy bản đồ che mã trận ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2026-07-11, version 3.2.0* This app blocks adds so it’s very good. And though it might block innocent things. It works ### 4/5 — 4 and a half stars *2026-07-10, version 3.2.0* 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! 🙏 ### 5/5 — Really good, blocks ads on the youtube app *2026-07-10, version 3.2.0* Its really good , its simple and yeah ### 5/5 — Uy buena app *2026-07-10, version 3.2.0* Excelente opción para mejorar la seguridad ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 把我網路弄掛了 *2026-08-14, version 3.2.1* 下載後，除了社群可以用，其他包含遊戲 地圖 Mail 全部掛掉不能用，刪掉你這App就沒事了，你說誰的問題？ ### 1/5 — 提醒大家 *2026-08-14, version 3.2.1* 不知道為什麼突然有個降低流量的開關打開 突然間用不了網路搞半天才發現是這個app在搞 ### 1/5 — 超強 *2026-08-14, version 3.2.1* 太強大了整個網頁都擋住了 我要給6顆星 ### 1/5 — 以為網路壞掉結果是你壞掉 *2026-08-14, version 3.2.1* 8/14原本以為中華電信壞掉、所有app都打不開、訊息沒辦法傳 問了gemini才知道應該是你的問題 擋沒擋住什麼 出問題就整台手機不能用，我差點直接換手機 超爛 threads上面不知道哪個白痴還推薦這個 真的笑死 ### 1/5 — Is useless don’t waste money *2026-07-19, version 3.2.0* I purchased i use 2 days and is use less waste of money. Just find a vpn that offer ads blocker. not need to waste in this app ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2026-07-19, version 3.2.0* At first it was doing fine! My apps ads were being cut short, which made things more tolerable. However, now it’s not. I downloaded this app last night, and haven’t reached the assigned 300,000 queries limit it has. As I’m typing I’m up to 13,089. I have no explanation for why its stopped working, but I’m very disappointed. 👎 ### 1/5 — This sucks *2026-07-17, version 3.2.0* This app is an idiot. I’m reading a zero star. ### 1/5 — Scammers *2026-07-06, version 3.2.0* 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! ### 1/5 — Bug *2026-06-14, version 3.2.0* Installé sur mon Mac mini m4 l’app n’est pas stable ,elle a quitté inopinément plusieurs fois en quelques minutes bref, inutilisable. 5€ euros bien mal dépensé. ### 1/5 — Kostet Geld *2026-06-08, version 3.2.0* Die App ist zwar erstmal kostenlos, aber um sie nutzen zu können, muss man 2,99€ pro Monat zahlen. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Bắn mãi k vào đầu *2026-08-27, version 3.2.1* Cho em bắn phun đầu ### 5/5 — *sniff* SO PERFECT 🥹 *2026-08-25, version 3.2.1* The layout? Clear, concise, gorgeous. The actual efficiency of the app? Actual chef’s KISS. As someone who genuinely has a HATRED for in game ads (especially for a certain game that literally spans ads every second…) this has been a SANITY SAVER. Thank you so much! HIGHLY RECOMMEND YALL 🤍🤍 ### 5/5 — I love this! *2026-08-16, version 3.2.1* Easy to set up DNS rules to help keep my trusted devices safe! ### 5/5 — すごい *2026-08-16, version 3.2.1* 今までAdGuardや280Blocker使ってきたが、完全に上位互換でアプリ内の広告もほとんど見なくなる。しかも中華アプリではない！これならお金払う価値がある！ただ、アプリ内課金は高く、直接支払えば半額♪ 改善点があるとすれば、Twitter内の広告が消えないこと。LINEなどは消えているので快適 ### 5/5 — Please add the feature back *2026-08-15, version 3.2.1* Please bring back the Wi-Fi exclusion feature in the NextDNS iOS app. Previously, I could select my home Wi-Fi and automatically disable NextDNS filtering only on that network, while keeping NextDNS active on cellular data and other Wi-Fi networks. This was a very useful feature and much easier than manually turning NextDNS on and off every time I come home. Please add “Exclude Trusted Wi-Fi Networks” back to the app. Thank you ### 5/5 — Excelente app para tu privacidad *2026-08-08, version 3.2.1* Hoy en día, la vigilancia no está regulada por obvias razones y esta app te ayuda a defender tu privacidad aunque sea un poco. Gracias. ### 5/5 — Ottima *2026-08-03, version 3.2.1* Facilmente configurabile da sito ### 5/5 — Thank you *2026-08-01, version 3.2.1* Thank you ### 5/5 — Really an amazing DNS service *2026-07-30, version 3.2.1* Excellent interface and complete flexibility and speed in blocking sites and establishing rewrite rules. ### 5/5 — Goated *2026-07-28, version 3.2.1* Best dns only thing is it has a limit but it resets ea ch month so its so good --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
