The app itself is great, though. ### 3/5 — Not Blocking Reddit Ads *2026-08-20, version 2026.818.1458* I’ve tried everything but Reddit ads still show? ### 5/5 — Супер! *2026-08-09* Добротное приложение! Прощай реклама! Разраб топ! ### 5/5 — Une pépite *2026-08-02* Application indispensable ! Merci ### 5/5 — Works like a charm! *2026-08-01, version 2026.729.1529* using this for a while on Safari and it is working great. I also see improvements in the extension overtime. Thanks Gorhill for making this. ### 3/5 — Blocking less and less ads each day *2026-08-01, version 2026.729.1529* Blocking less and less ads each day. I assume Google has some new way to avoid this adblocker. Turn off JavaScript, that will block all ads. ### 5/5 — Great ad blocker by me *2026-07-31, version 2026.729.1529* Pretty great man i love it so much and i can watch anime without the ads anymore ### 3/5 — 挙動 *2026-07-31* iOS26.6になってからブロック機能がすぐさま適用されずに遅延が発生しています。今回のアップデートでも変わりがありません。 ### 2/5 — Fix the dashboard button please *2026-07-26, version 2026.723.1724* It's broken and doesn't always open extension settings. PLEASE fix this. ### 5/5 — ゲーム攻略記事が見やすい！ *2026-07-25* AdGuardの無料版だとブロックしきれなかった広告を完全にブロックしてくれて大助かりです！ ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-07-23, version 2026.714.1952* The best ad blocker I have tried so far. Highly recommended. ### 2/5 — no effect for youtube *2026-07-19* T/O ### 5/5 — Consistent and reliable *2026-07-18, version 2026.714.1952* So glad this exists for Safari - it was the final aspect that made me stop using Chrome. ### 5/5 — Essential for Safari *2026-07-16, version 2026.714.1952* Keeps getting refined, and seamlessly works. 💪💪 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Weird activity *2026-08-30, version 2026.825.1619* After downloading it worked for a few days the suddenly I was searching things up and it al went to yahoo instead of google. (Meaning there’s a hijacker on your computer.) Reading some reviews of people who also had security issues after using makes me think this is not a coincidence. I didn’t instal anything suspicious. Only after deleting this ad blocker and restarting my computer and running a malware scanner did the hijacking stop. ### 1/5 — Doesn't support Safari 18.5 *2026-08-22* I can download this app but can't use it because it doesn't support Safari 18.5 ### 1/5 — Does not get past setting up stage. *2026-08-19, version 2026.818.1458* It’s not accepting the setting to allow it in iPhone settings. It’s dead and I will delete it. ### 1/5 — Causes Absurd Lag *2026-08-12, version 2026.812.1211* I’ve used regular ublock origin before without any issues but for the last few months this version has been causing insane lag/been literally unusable. Needs sorted badly. Do not recommend me basic troubleshooting. I’ve tried it. Ublock Lite is the problem. ### 1/5 — Still broken *2026-07-31, version 2026.729.1529* Totally ineffective on some sites like shuttermuse and others. UBO for the PC is great, but this extension is a joke. ### 1/5 — It's there; but not there. *2026-07-23, version 2026.714.1952* I've had this on now for four or five days and frankly, I do not notice any change in ads, one way or the other. (And yes, it's "On.") when something like this happens my typical reaction is, "I must be doing something wrong", but the app's only control is On or Off, I don't see that here. Removing. ### 1/5 — Don’t work *2026-07-14, version 2026.713.1408* Broken and wasted my time ### 1/5 — What is the point? *2026-07-01, version 2026.628.2035* App will not let me adjust the level of blocking above the lowest. Nothing is being blocked. Guess it’s supremely efficient if nothing is being blocked??? ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-06-28, version 2026.625.2148* I clicked report error and it took me to GitHub and asked me to login.. ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-06-12, version 2026.607.1724* Safari keeps disabling the extension ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Incredible! *2026-08-28, version 2026.825.1619* Thank you! This is an absolute must have to browse the modern web! I would trust gorhill with my life. I don’t understand how normies use the internet without this. ### 5/5 — Le top du top *2026-08-25* La référence open source. L’open source c’est le futur. ### 5/5 — Best adblocker I’ve used on safari *2026-08-16, version 2026.812.1211* In my opinion it’s better than Adblock pro, ublock tends to play better with websites and not break them like Adblock pro sometimes does. ### 5/5 — 最強の広告ブロッカー *2026-08-15* ついにiPhoneに来てくれてました。無料かつオープンソース(不正がない)の神アプリです。 ただしiPhone用でありiPhone自体が不便なので仕組みに限度がありますから、どうしても本来のPC版、またAndroid版より使い勝手が下がる印象、特に元々のv2仕様よりはブロックが弱いと思われます(これはAndroidでも同じですが)。 それでもiPhoneでこれが使えるのは素晴らしいことであり、iPhoneの中でも恐らく最強広告ブロッカーだと個人的に思います。 使い方: ・iPhone本体の「設定」でSafariから拡張機能のこれをオンにしてください。 iPhoneではSafariにセットするしかありません。iPhone自体が不便なので(大事なこと) ・地味に気付きづらいポイントで、ubrockに与える権限のポイントがあります。 拡張機能ページの下の方にある、アクセス権→「全てのwebサイト」これを「許可」に設定してください。 (※ソースコードが全て公開されている上に長年の有名アプリケーションなので不正はありえません。) そこを「確認」などにしてるとメイン設定の「デフォルトのフィルタリングモード」が変更出来なくなります。 そしてこのモードは「最適」が一般的にはお勧めされます。 私は「完全」で使いますが、強くするほどページが正常に機能しづらくなるトレードオフです。 ・その他はライトユーザーは気にすることはありません。 フィルターなどはわからなければそのままで問題ありません。 ・拡張機能ページにある「ストレージを消去」について、ですが、ubrock内で設定したものが全てリセットされてしまいますのでご注意ください。 ただし、キャッシュも含まれるようなので、設定を戻せるのであればリフレッシュ用途で削除しても問題ありません。 ### 5/5 — The Best of the Best! *2026-08-13, version 2026.812.1211* and free! ### 5/5 — Add pause *2026-08-13, version 2026.812.1211* Add pause With timer 5,15, 30, 60mins or whatever a few disable timers for a short time ### 5/5 — Mandatory *2026-08-11, version 2026.804.1652* Needed to use the internet now. Thank you for what you do. ### 5/5 — easy, effective, essential *2026-08-11, version 2026.804.1652* downloaded it first on my windows laptop and it changed my life. when safari extensions were added, this is the first place i looked. set it up once and all ads are GONE. i dont know how i ever used the internet without this. oh, and its FREE. download this and change your life for the better, 11/10. ### 5/5 — Funktioniert im Gegensatz zu Adguard und verlangt kein Geld *2026-08-09* So wie auf dem Desktop - so muss das sein! P.S. Die Werbeindustrie und Konzerne sind absolut selbst schuld für ihre Gier und übertriebene Ausmaße, etwa auf Youtube. Wer sich das gefallen lässt ist selbst schuld ;) ### 5/5 — 本当に良い *2026-08-09* 今までadguardを使っていたのですがアンチ広告ブロッカーに悩まされこちらを使用。 本当にアンチ広告ブロッカーを回避出来ました! ありがとう!(´▽｀) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
