Would it be possible to have a DNS for the app configurations and the ability to add/edit other DNS addresses? ### 5/5 — I'm Pretty Sure it's Working! *2017-03-22, version 1.7* I will write a follow-up review soon if I remember! ### 4/5 — So far so good *2017-01-27, version 1.7* Add safari extension to whitelist websites instead of me having to exit and manually type it in ### 5/5 — Very good *2016-12-01, version 1.7* Best ad blocker I've used. Highly recommended 👍 ### 5/5 — The Best Adblocker *2016-11-24, version 1.7* Simply the best ad blocker in the store. Unlike others, this one is maintained and updated regularly. ### 5/5 — Best ad blocker *2016-11-24, version 1.6* Sanitize works perfectly. The dev is also really cool and humble so be sure to donate to them. The only thing I can really think that would make it better is if there was a safari share menu option to whitelist or blacklist sites. ### 5/5 — Best adblocker around *2016-11-11, version 1.6* Tried all the others this one simply works no iap required and no pesky adverts Keep up the good work ### 5/5 — So far so good *2016-08-16, version 1.5* I felt liberated from a tyranny upon activating this app. No more of my AppStore opening up w/o my permission. No more ads 😌 ### 5/5 — Great *2016-07-08, version 1.4* Works really well. Finally rid of invasive, loathsome ads. Super simple to use. ### 5/5 — Best *2016-06-25, version 1.4* ^ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2021-11-26, version 1.8* As the title says. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with video ads *2021-08-02, version 1.8* .. ### 1/5 — YouTube. *2020-08-07, version 1.8* Will not work with YouTube which is the only reason I need an adblocker ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work for me *2018-09-19, version 1.8* After downloading and enabling in settings, the first site I checked had ads. Pointless. I’m gonna keep searching. ### 1/5 — Increases stored cookies, *2018-06-26, version 1.8* This blocked some ads, but almost tripled the cookies stored by Safari. Junk. ### 1/5 — Can't tell that it blocked anything. *2017-03-17, version 1.7* Maybe I don't know how to use it properly, but it seems that I have just the amount of crap that I had before installing the app. Can't see any difference at all. Disappointing for sure. ### 2/5 — Stopped working? *2018-01-27, version 1.8* I had hoped to find something that would stop those annoying “Congratulations Amazon/Apple/whatever User” popups but apparently this wasn’t the app for it. Also, it seemed to work on regular ads but then it stopped working. Ads were everywhere with the blocker on. On to the next app. ### 3/5 — Here's my feedback *2022-10-10, version 1.8* GOODS 1. has potential, is a content blocker (YES, i want content blockers, NOT extension because those require more permissions to be given) however there are some parts that need fixing 2. becoming a supporter doesn't give you extra perks (meaning it's a free-to-use app, and you can choose to support them if you want which is good) NEEDS IMPROVEMENT 1. report problems button doesn't work so the only way I can express what is good and what is bad is through reviews 2. Please add a blacklist too so if there's specific links that I want to block or specific cookies I want to block then I could block em if I want Overall, I can see there's potential in this app. Please don't be discouraged :D ### 3/5 — Nice app but some ads get through *2019-12-26* An alright app but does not block all ads when setup. Does block quite a few but not perfect. ### 4/5 — A nice small content blocker *2018-04-15, version 1.8* Works flawlessly. Great and lightweight. Love the whitelist feature. Dev deserves more credit, would like to expand the blacklist though ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fantastic👍😀🤗 *2021-08-28, version 1.8* I tried another one but it kept me off of my AccuWeather would not let it run this one that's everything run smooth and faster thank you very much 🌞 Ps: Try This One It Will Do It For You If You No How To Use It Thanks So For So Good Thanks 😊 well app try this for two week or I recommend this for anyone download it leve settings alone and let it run Thanks…Ps: not barking abs and pop-ups anymore 👎😂🙈 ### 5/5 — Works wonderfully ! *2020-10-05, version 1.8* Whenever someone complains about ads, I turn them onto Sanitize and the complaints stop. It works well and allows me to enjoy content without interruption or ad pollution.

Gets the job done. ### 5/5 — Sanitize *2018-11-21, version 1.8* Yep 2nd best adblocker a must get IT ### 5/5 — Downloaded due to great experience in Safari (macOS) *2018-09-04, version 1.8* In macOS, I was looking for a good ad blocker extension that doesn't have access to websites content. I tried dozen including big names like AdGuard, uBlock, ABP... But few passed that test. From the few that lasted Sanitize It was the only that blocked not only ads but annoying "social" widgets. For Mobile Safari, no content blocker had access to websites content but the experience I had was so good I decided to give it a try and it worked as expected. Blocked ads in all websites I visited without making my CPU spike (check by seeing your iPhone getting warm). I find the UI a little ugly but since it works in the background its not a problem. ### 5/5 — Works better than the rest *2017-11-03, version 1.8* Pages load quickly and are ad-free. I’m glad the developer is still supporting the app, so let’s show our support by writing positive reviews and donating! The version for macOS is great, too. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2017-10-19, version 1.7* Sanitize has been on my iPhone for quite some time. It does its job so well that it’s jarring to use other browsers now. It’s also the kind of app that you set and forget about. It just works so good you install it. Set it up and then forget it. Thank you dev for making an excellent app. ### 5/5 — No ads! *2017-04-15, version 1.7* It does as it says - no ads, love it! ### 5/5 — Doesn't break my favorite websites *2017-04-09, version 1.7* Of all the adblockers recommended around the web (including the popular ones), this is the only one that doesn't break any of my favorite websites. It works great on the Mac too! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
