## AdBlock Description
The original AdBlock - the first and last ad-blocker you'll ever need. A one time purchase - no subscriptions needed. We've been blocking ads on iPhones and iPads since 2012 - we know our game! :) 
AdBlock allows you to block ads on your iOS device. Get rid of 99% of annoying popups, banners and video ads. Protect your privacy, limit bandwidth use, speed up your device, save battery and drastically improve your day-to-day iOS experience.

The most important advantages of AdBlock are:
• AdBlock comes with a local DNS proxy service built-in. Use it to see which domains you're device is contacting. Create your own rules and assign any IP to any domain, right on your device. You can (and should!) bootstrap this feature with rules found online.
• AdBlock has enhanced DNS proxy rules export and import function. Share DNS proxy rules with other users, easily import rules found on the Internet.
• AdBlock comes with a Safari Content Blocker to block ads on websites in Safari.
• AdBlock allows you to create your own list of domains and synchronize your rules between all your devices using iCloud.
• AdBlock allows you to protect your privacy by blocking mobile trackers. Prevent Internet trackers from recording your online activity and selling your private data.
• AdBlock does not send your Internet traffic through any remote server. All of your connections stay direct, fast and secure. Ads are blocked right on your device!
• Setting up AdBlock is simple! Just download the app, and follow the tutorial to set everything up. When in doubt - contact our support!
• AdBlock automatically updates to the latest version of the filters on every app run. We keep the ad servers database up-to-date for you.
• AdBlock works with Wi-Fi and cellular networks. You don't need to set it up separately for every network you use.
• AdBlock comes with a handy widget to quickly change the DNS proxy status when needed.

Looking for support? Contact our dedicated support line directly from the app - we'll help you out with the proper setup and answer all the questions you might have.

## AdBlock Reviews in Canada

### ***-- "Maybe needs an update"
This app worked well but doesn’t seem to be blocking a lot the ads in the same games I play…
-- debbaDEEra, 2024-09-06

### **--- "so so"
Doesn’t block YouTube or twitter ads which are the WORST
-- jlsca, 2024-07-16

### ***-- "Works! - but is heavy on the battery."
This works as intended - for those that don't understand how it works, should look up DNS blocker files or websites to import DNS host-file batches from. I have over 100k websites added, and it works a charm, all locally, and across even in-game ads that fetch from websites too. (Including annoying banner ads).
Only ones that it doesn't block would be the type that you can't block via a address/DNS, but that's a given obviously, and no adblocker app can block non-address ads (such as built-in offline ones for a game's other products) anyway. 

The bad news is I definitely see a heavy battery usage (check Battery in settings) by the app, and it definitely puts strain on the phone by comparison to something such as NextDNS, which has a much lighter hand for battery usage, so far it seems.
I would say it cuts about 30-40% of my normal battery usage, which for a regular user like me, is pretty sucky.

If this was the only one available, I'd bear with it, but NextDNS's 100k queries a month free plan might work fine for me, and it'll drain less on my phone. Worst case scenario I use this app for the few days the NextDNS runs out.

I'm not sure why this makes the battery drain faster by blocking loads - you'd think that would make it drain less battery, by the claims of many other ad-blocker apps I've seen (of which I've passed over - 98% of them are safari extensions and I don't use safari) so I'm not sure why this one chews my battery so much.

Interestingly even going from Disabled to Enabled, that loading bit as it turns on the settings, eats about a 5-8% and makes my phone battery heat up as the battery jumps down - no idea why, but it's weird. Then once it's on, the battery usage is accelerated by 1.5x-3x the amount. 

Long review, but it does exactly what it says for being able to locally block domains via VPN settings (not compatible with VPNs btw! Turning on a VPN disables this, unlike Lockdown, but Lockdown sucks because you have to manually add addresses to block 1 by 1, and has a paywall for their own rather paltry list of to-block domains, which you can find better lists online anyway) 
You can also import lists from host files and online sites (but can't do so from a local host file or text file on your phone which is weird to me) 
The downside is the heavy battery usage, and the fact that unlike NextDNS and Lockdown, it locks VPN settings to only be usable with itself.
If those two things could be changed or improved upon, that would make this app
