Best of luck, but not for me

Wipr’s one‑time purchase always felt dependable, so hearing that Wipr (Legacy) will be discontinued at the end of March is frustrating. It also makes me hesitant to pay for Wipr 2 if it might later be replaced by Wipr 3 and so on.

Scammy developer

Creates a “new” app that’s 2x the price and ends support for the “old” app. Will block and never support them again. Use wBlock for far superior ad blocking

Discontinued

Good Riddance!

discontinued

dev gave up on this in hopes to cash in on a new version. no offer for owners of the first version

Shady developer

Does not block ads anymore.

Why is there a new paid version for a safari extension that does the same thing? And why is this one being discontinued?

Now breaks Youtube

Used to love this app and appreciative that the legacy app can still update the blocklists. However, for multiple blocklist updates YouTube now just loads a white screen at the cookie selection point. You have to disable Wipr accept/reject the cookies and then re-enable Wipr. This has to be done every time you clear the cookies.
I had considered Wipr2 but worried this will be a wasted purchase if it’s just going to do the same.

Don’t bother

Doesn’t work anymore especially on recipe sites. They just keep resetting with “there was a problem loading this page” errors.

I bought this app and there’s no upgrade option to wipr 2, so… that should tell you about the level of support you can get for your money. Switching to AdGuard which is free.

Not Working

See title! Not doing a darn thing to stop constant pop up ads.

Abandoned by developer

Used to work great but now it doesn’t do anything.

Free yourself

Does what it says and nothing else.

Avoid

I won’t buy anything off this developer again instead of keeping this app updated. He has made a Wipr 2 another greedy Dev on the App store

Doesn’t work

Doesn’t work. Will be requesting a refund. DO NOT BUY

Makes no difference to adds in apps.

Forced upgrade

Intentionally made this version bad without telling users why they need to upgrade. The latest update show the devs removed so much stuff and made it worse to lean you towards a new version.

Paid upgrade

The app is nice but I don’t like the idea of having to pay for multiple apps just to get an upgrade. An example is with wipr 2. Paid for this version and now I have to pay for that one too

Great work!

Works wonders on YouTube. Haven’t watched an ad in months.

Not going to buy again

I left 1Blocker when they scammed me by selling their product, and abandoning it to sell it again. Same goes for WIPR. Only stupid people pay twice for the same service.

Greatness

This app is greatness itself herein and therein please.
