AdGuard Pro is a cross-platform power tool that can protect all of your apps, browsers and devices, yet has smart default settings that make it fairly easy for anyone to use. I sometimes forget how hard AdGuard is working for me in the background unless I turn it off temporarily and get a harsh reminder of how insane the distraction-filled, ad and tracking infested Internet is without protection.
I rarely write reviews on App store apps unless I'm having a problem with it — however, I have been using AdGuard Pro for about a decade now, and I am elated to say that I cannot report any. In fact, it keeps improving, which is extraordinarily rare for an app of AdGuard's age — usually developers abandon existing users with some barely improved "completely new" release; not so with AdGuard, thankfully. My only request would be to add the ability to convert my existing lifetime license to one usable on the AdGuard site (for Android or other platforms, if I decide to ditch iOS at some point; a distinct possibility as the platform gains more and more ads for Apple services). Thanks for the ad-free experience I've had over the years, AdGuard team. Your app truly makes iOS (and the internet itself) a better, more usable thing!
No more ads in apps. No more ads in Safari. YouTube and Google apps will still have ads and empty spaces which adblockers can’t do anything about, but at least AdGuard gives you a shortcut to watch a YouTube app vid in Safari web container with no ads.
No idea what I am doing wrong, but I have all the content blockers enabled under safari>extensions but the app continues to tell me that its not enabled, and therefore refuses to work.
Often times, the vpn symbol is on and connected but it doesn’t actually block anything. Then you need to toggle the vpn or enable and disable it in the app to actually get it to work. Annoying.
Please add a way to edit the block list and white list directly.
After reading the manual and setting the pro up. It does not seem to work anymore with Mullvad or Proton VPN on wifi. When I'm in safari with everything set properly per the manual and troubleshooting. In settings and the app, my phone gets very hot and many websites and apps are unusable or completely broken. For example I cannot view simple pages like reddit or blogs and forums, but websites and apps like AliExpress and goodwill are overheating my phone and draining the battery so quickly. I have background, location (except necessary functionality), and tracking turned off. What VPN, DNS, proxy, is this compatible with now?
Please try to take an active role in the developer and public beta releases for iOS 18. Please, everybody if you can please try to take an active role in the developer and public releases for iOS 18. If we had had a more active role in the developer and public betas for iOS 17 it wouldn’t have become such a nightmare. It’s kind of like having cancer in stage 1 vs stage 4. The earlier you can detect a problem the better. Users if you are willing to please consider becoming a public beta tester. Research on how you can become a more effective beta tester. If more people had been willing to be an early beta tester for iOS 17 it might have not been the SNAFU it turned into. Please if you know of anyone else that uses the other versions of AdGuard please ask them to consider becoming a public beta tester.
I wish it was easier to figure out how to select the ads that are getting through.
I'm giving up. This is causing too many issues for no reason. I rather deal with a few banner ads and call it a day.
