AdGuard Pro — adblock&privacy

Great ad blocker with Greta functionality. Allows for custom filter lists to be imported so I was able to get the Bypass Paywalls Clean filter list added.

Good app

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. Update: very easy to reproduce, just turn on and off your phone and on boot, it would not work majority of the time.

规则很多对小白不友好，可以预设几个 DNS 规则吗，付费软件就感觉钱花了，东西还得自己弄，花钱买了个壳子，市场上的免费的软件也有很多，为什么花钱买这个呢。

I mainly got this for its DNS ad block, however, it’s getting detected by websites. I hope this gets taken and Ad Guard improves their DNS on IOS.

everyone needs to buy to support this awesome company. i love all the customization options. their support has been great too

Essential to a good security/privacy toolbox. Needs a note function to remind me why I allowed/blocked a given domain. A log only mode would be awesome for troubleshooting. Some apps don't work with it on and don't show anything being blocked.

Ok so *inhale* I LOVE this AdBlocker. It’s by far the most thorough and advanced AdBlocker on the market. I’ve done numerous tests and this definitely takes the cake. I mean, this thing can use DNS to block ads on APPS people!! That’s groundbreaking! That little VPN addon is astounding and allows me to use some of my favorite apps without having to deal with intrusive ads. It’s probably saved me over $100 of potential subscription fees that would’ve had to pay to get rid of ads (you know what I’m talking about) But here’s the thing, it’s not perfect. In order to get maximum protection I have to pair this thing up with Ghostery. I don’t mind, but I have no idea why their databases are different and/or all inclusive. On top of that, the VPN or DNS that they give you with AdGuard Pro is AMAZING at blocking ads…but not so good at masking your IP. And by not so good, I mean downright terrible. I have to pair this thing up with Proton VPN and switch between them depending on whether I’m using apps or browsing. Despite its small downsides, this thing is downright impressive and I truly think it’s worth the flat fee. Keep it up AdGuard :D

this app mostly works these days HOWEVER it drains the battery hard and fast.

Some fix. It still says “File Update Error” when there was no error period. It’s still a error in iOS 17 itself. The only way to really fix it is to be active in the iOS 18 beta and do away with the error once and forever.
