Great App

*2016-09-13, version 2.0*

This app works great and is pretty much perfect!
Thanks!

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2016-09-12, version 2.0*

Excellent app for those with a poor connection and great that it has an ad blocker too

### 5/5 — Works as Advertised!

*2016-08-10, version 1.1.2*

You didn't know that you needed this nifty little app until you used it; then, you wondered how you could have gone this long without it! Flawless so far.

### 5/5 — Superb on-demand content blocker

*2016-07-28, version 1.1.2*

Fantastic content blocker whose levels of blocking can be controlled via a Control Center widget. 

On its highest level of blocking it eliminates *all* graphics, which is terrific if you have limited bandwidth or just want to get to a sit's text. (Lower levels of blocking are similar to other content blockers in the App Store.)

Very useful, unique features make this a must-have for me. Recommended.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2016-07-26, version 1.1.2*

Loved this little app, saves lots of mobile data usage and loading time. Definitely 5 star

### 5/5 — Make web browsing great again

*2016-07-24, version 1.1.2*

Rare review from me.  It works beautifully.  Simple app with perfect widget (I like me a good widgy).

Says what it means, builds a wall around Safari, makes browsing great again..

### 5/5 — Nice

*2016-07-24, version 1.1.2*

Nice

### 5/5 — Convenient, Effective

*2016-07-21, version 1.1.2*

Really enjoy this app and the aggressiveness settings. You can decide when to use it and quickly. Definitely works, and it works well! Great idea :)

### 5/5 — One of the best app purchases made

*2016-04-07, version 1.1.2*

Makes browsing so much easier

### 5/5 — Just Works

*2016-04-01, version 1.1.2*

I love it, it works great. I've bought a few adblockers and content blockers.

Minimal in features but for what it sets out to do, it does exceedingly well. for saving my cellular data this app has quickly become my favorite. The ability to quickly turn it on and off and change the aggressiveness through the notification menu is a win win.

### 5/5 — Crap Eliminator.

*2016-04-01, version 1.1.2*

Speeds up browsing by blocking the superfluous & omnipresent. 

Websites load faster. Less data is used. Less battery is used. Less time is used. 

Get it. Quickly.

### 5/5 — Very nice

*2016-04-01*

Working as intended. Saved my time to turn off JS manually for some really heaven site. Thx!

### 5/5 — Bandwidth saver

*2015-11-22*

It's not ideal to strip everything but the html but considering how expensive data is in NZ, this app feels like a necessity. The quick notification widget means it can be disabled without too much tapping. Altogether a great app.

### 5/5 — Super useful utility

*2015-10-30, version 1.0.1*

Especially for when travelling on poor networks. Most times all I want to do is read articles, not ads and graphics. This does the job!

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2015-10-17, version 1.0*

I work in the Gulf of Mexico where internet speeds can be under 1 Mbps so this really speeds up page loading time very helpful and very promising! Thank you!

### 5/5 — Exactly what I've been looking for

*2015-10-07, version 1.0*

Finally a content blocker that quickly adjusts to the strength you want.

Just want to block basic ads? A swipe and a click and it's done. Want to block heavy formatting? Swipe click and browse. Want just the text and only the text... Well, you get the picture.

At first I thought it wasn't working, but that's because I needed to enable the widget, enable the content blocker in settings and *then* press the "Speed Up Safari" button in the widget. Now it works like a champ!

### 5/5 — Speedy-Fari

*2015-10-07, version 1.0*

Wow. Vast improvement in iPhone 6 load speeds. Evidently there's an awful lot of crap being downloaded whenever you click on .....Anything.

### 5/5 — Still works like a charm in 2024

*2024-11-25, version 3.0*

Hope you come around to updating the block lists soon

### 5/5 — Works perfectly

*2022-12-12, version 3.0*

I’ve been using Speedafari for many years now and it has worked as advertised.

### 5/5 — Works Excellent on iOS16

*2022-11-27, version 3.0*

Does exactly what it supposed to with the ‘High’ aggression feature. All websites show HTML and load very fast. I am using iOS16.

Additionally, if you don’t want to see the first few images in Google Search, you can disable ‘JavaScript’ in your iPhone Settings > Safari > Advanced.
