Leider nicht auf Deutsch

Es gibt fünf Sterne von mir, wenn es eine deutsche Übersetzung gibt in dem Menüpunkte

Die App kann man empfehlen als Werbeblocker. Hier werden keine Werbung mehr bei YouTube etc. PP angezeigt sehr gut auch telefoniert die App nicht nach Hause. Datenschutz super kostet zwar einmalig sechs Euro aber es lohnt sich
Die App ist auch barrierefrei. VoiceOver wird unterstützt leider nur auf Englisch.

Disappointed

Not working

Paid upgrade but it doesn’t keep itself up to date

Paid for this version after years on the first. Ok fine. But despite background app refresh enabled for it I find it’s never up to date and I have to manually update. Pretty hard to recommend an ad blocker that requires care and feeding

Response from developer

Hi! Please refer to the Help to learn what user behaviors can prevent the app from refreshing automatically (there’s a few)

Great app

At first was sceptical, was currently using AdGuard, I wanted something a little lighter and slightly more private, works just as intended for set and forget, adguard is more granular but this app just works well thank you

Круто

Все отлично, не надо ничего настраивать, все просто и понятно, блокирует легко

Great App

I’ve been a user for over two years, back when it was Wipr 1 and it is a great app. Great job dev :)

Excellent blocker

Just works. Does exactly as promised, strong recommend.

Excellent Ad Blocker from an Exceptional Indie Developer

If you hate all those annoying ads junking up every single website and article you try to read, then you need this app! Honestly, it’s probably the best ad blocker I’ve ever used, and that’s neither an exaggeration nor a proclamation of misplaced enthusiasm.

Wipr 2 does exactly what it promises, and does it exceptionally well. No convoluted settings, no endless tinkering, no unnecessary bells and whistles. Just install it, enable it, and enjoy the almost-forgotten pleasure of browsing the internet without being relentlessly assaulted by pop-ups, obnoxious banners, autoplaying nonsense, and advertisements for products you wouldn’t buy even under duress.

It’s fast, unobtrusive, remarkably effective, and refreshingly uncomplicated. In an era when seemingly every app developer wants a monthly subscription, your personal information, and perhaps your firstborn child, Wipr 2 feels like a minor technological miracle.

Even better, it’s the work of an independent developer who clearly takes tremendous pride in creating something genuinely useful rather than finding increasingly inventive ways to extract money from users. That kind of dedication deserves both recognition and support.

Get it. It’s worth it.

I doubted whether it would function as I required, yet it certainly surprised me. It performed better than I had anticipated. Get it with the filtr add on too, it’s the cherry on top.

Best adblocker for youtube!

Not just youtube but everywhere else too! Love it

Very 1st website

The first website boom popup! Wow, first time buying an app! Never again!

Best value for money on the app store. Essential.

Silent, surpasses adblockers with the astounding Filtr extension, actively maintained by a sharp developer.

It really works!!

I do not see ads on safari anymore!! On either my phone or my computer. It’s great!!

Only Ad Blocker that Just Works

Every Ad Blocker I’ve tried before Wipr struggled to block all the ads AND would often break websites in ways that weren’t clear it was the ad blocker.

Wipr and its add-on Filtr just work. And on all my Apple devices for just one price. Incredible value!

The Perfect Balance of Privacy, Performance, and Simplicity.

As someone who works professionally in cybersecurity, I’m particularly selective about the privacy and security tools I use. I’ve experimented with numerous content blockers, DNS filtering services, and browser configurations, but Wipr 2 and Filtr have become my favorite combination for Apple’s ecosystem.

Wipr 2 is exceptionally fast, keeping Safari clean, responsive, and free from intrusive advertising without compromising the browsing experience. Filtr complements it beautifully by providing an additional layer of filtering beyond traditional Safari content blocking.

What really sets this combination apart is how effortlessly everything works. No complicated configurations, no endless tweaking of filter lists, and no unnecessary background services to manage. Both integrate naturally into Apple’s ecosystem and allow me to keep iCloud Private Relay enabled.

After years of experimenting with increasingly complex privacy setups, I’ve come to appreciate software that accomplishes its purpose without demanding constant attention.

Wipr 2 and Filtr deliver exactly that: excellent performance, effective filtering, and a genuinely set-it-and-forget-it experience.

Sometimes the best technology is the technology you barely notice because it simply works. It also works fantastic partnering with DNS filtering. No conflicts. This is incredible work.

I’d pay much more without hesitation and plan to do so via tipping. Thanks to the continuous hard work of the developer — I highly recommend Wipr 2/Filtr.

WOW Kaylee just WOW 😭

I have my gripes with this adblocker, but WAY less than I have with any other adblocker. And for it to be a one-time purchase? Even less gripes.

But I just came here to give you guys an example of what Kaylee is capable of.

I play [REDACTED] mobile pretty often, they have towers that have a limit on how many turns you get to play, and when you run out of turns, you get two options for refreshes, advertisements, or IGC (ingame currency). Both have finite refreshes, 5 for IGC, 2 for ads. once you run out of one you can use the other.

For days now, I thought the game was bugging out because every time I attempted to use the advertisement refresh, the video wouldnt play, it’d just open the screen and show a black background. I asked the community if they were having any issues, maybe its something developers noticed and intend on patching, but to my surprise, nope, everyones ads are working correctly.

So I decide to disable Wipr’s latest “Filtr” feature, a purchase i deeply regretted because initially I felt no difference in my experience with the app.

But alas, I reopened the app after disabling it and the ads worked perfectly fine.

I just cant express enough how pleasantly surprised I am that a ONE TIME PURCHASE ad blocker is capable of blocking IN GAMEEE, guys, I N G A M E advertisements. ON I O S. THIS IS UNHEARD OF.

Best Ad blocker for safari

So great, can’t go without it now. Only thing I wish they would add is the ability for the app or bypass those stupid pop ups on sites that say “you are using an ad blocker, please remove it as Ads pay our bills”

Set and forget… and very effective.

I’ve been using Wipr since the first version. It makes the web a much more pleasant place.
Great app, great developer.

Filtr

I love it!

Seamless

I kind of forgot about ads. This works so well that I didn’t realize it was even doing anything!
