Customer Reviews

What a breath of fresh air! (5 stars)
I did not realize how often I deal with junk on websites until I installed this app. By far, the best dollar I have ever spent. It works exactly as one would anticipate and the two lone people that gave this one star either dos not set the switches properly (very simple install and setup takes less than one minute total) or they are advertisers mad they cannot litter sites with crap anymore. Thank you Blockr and thank you Apple for this fan

Best dollar ever spent (5 stars)
It works perfectly, and integrates with safari without issue. It's amazing to finally have a safari plugin that can block ads on cellular networks! I can't recommend this enough. Go to your favorite site and toggle the exception on and off and you'll see how annoying the flood of ads has become. Pages load much quicker and everything else looks much better. I plan on sending as a gift to my family and friends.

Great options (5 stars)
Has the ability to block all media in addition to ads and trackers. This is great if youre trying to save bandwidth or in an area or country with horrible network options available. This one seems to be quicker with updates than the others as well and supports auto-updating via push notifications.
