AdGuard Pro — adblock&privacy

Update 11/23/24 - taking away stars again. Disable adblocking popups getting through now. What is happening to this app? I may need to find a better one soon I’ve been a long time user and it used to be great. Recently, with the new updates, there seem to be ads getting through. Not sure what has happened but this app has become steadily worse over time. Really a bummer because I love this app.

Great at what it does. I use AdGuard Pro along with others and never see any issues with Safari. I have found though that, for whatever reason, it doesn’t show up for automatic updates or even in the list that it needs updating. I have to search specifically for AdGuard Pro in the App Store to check if it even needs an update.

Good ad blocker for iOS. I’ve tried many of them. I like how you can do pseudo DNS filtering on the phone too. The desktop “Adguard for safari” is good too. Personally I found the “Adguard for Mac” more involved than what most users would need so I hope they continue the development of the safari only extension.

This app is a Spy App, owned by Russia, please do not download!

I’ve been having trouble with so many ads that I decided to buy this Pro version to block ads. Also YouTube got rid of my skip button and I’ve had 2 and sometimes 3 four minute ads at a time pop up on my videos. This is very annoying. The only thing I’ve noticed after turning everything on in settings is I now have the skip button back.

App has worked great for years. However it’s not blocking as well with iOS 18. Reported to customer service but not responding. The issue seems to be AdGuard is not compatible with Safari. I switched to Brave and the ad blocking results are spectacular!

Since ios18 there are no longer any widgets for this ap0.

Makes life online so much better. I don’t know how anyone uses the internet without an adblocker

was the best but fails to block anything on safari while on X! Brave wins. X has adblock blockers that adguard has absolutely failed to address multiple times now. Meanwhile the Brave browser handles X twitter perfectly in consistently blocking all ads on that platform. Adguard was the king but has been officially dethroned. not worth the money if it can't even do what it's supposed to do or even used to be able to do.

Best $2 I've ever spent. The web is clean and distraction free now! Thank you.
