### 5/5 — Wonderful with one caveat

*2024-03-05, version 1.9.1*

Holding down the refresh button no longer gives the option to reload without content blockers. That option now resides in the sub menu when long pressing on the text icon in the search bar “turn off content blockers.”
May want to update that instruction in the app. Great otherwise 100%. So much cleaner without the distraction of senseless imagery. Especially reading news. I just want the information. I’m not five years old and need pictures too. ell oh ell.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2018-06-05, version 1.7*

Just what I have been looking for. Does what it says with ease.  Clever method for reverting to image mode.  White list is a nice touch.  However there seems to be no way to edit the list. An edit function would be very useful.

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2016-06-07, version 1.7*

It actually works! I'm glad I can disable photos on safari now

### 5/5 — Browsing is a pleasure again

*2015-10-23, version 1.0*

This app brings a pleasure back to browsing the internet that's been missing for years. 

So many sites that I used to enjoy visiting are now so slow and plagued by advertising and pointless graphics. Thanks to Whitespace I can visit them again!

Safari with Whitespace = lightning fast browsing. Kudos and thanks to the developers.

### 5/5 — Does what is says on the tin…

*2015-10-22, version 1.0*

If you have a slow wifi connection or limited data allowance this content blocker will save you time and money! 

Great work. I'd love to see site whitelisting in a future update.
