User Reviews

AFWall+ is praised for strong, granular app firewall control, especially on rooted devices, and is seen as essential by many. However, users report recurring issues: it often requires root to function, faces iptables rule application problems, crashes after updates or when logging is enabled, and has UI performance concerns in newer versions. Some connectivity problems are also noted. Overall, its firewall power is valued, with ongoing maintenance helping address issues.

Pros

Powerful, granular per-app firewall control over internet access.
Best Admin app for rooted devices; highly recommended for root users.
Generally positive, with many users calling it an awesome/must-have firewall.
Active maintenance and updates from the developer.

Cons

Not usable on non-rooted devices; requires root for core functionality.
IPTables compatibility issues; errors applying rules or missing support for targets/chains.
Crashes or instability, especially after updates or when logging is enabled.
Performance/UI issues in recent versions (frustrating scrolling, UI freezes).

Recent reviews

Crashes all the time and is extremely laggy with many apps installed. Practically unusable at the moment.

I really wouldn't install this app. Uninstalling it creates a world of problems as it still blocks network connections even when you disable everything. What an absolute headache this app caused

Samsung Galaxy S24 ultra not working magisk root Could not find support for iptables targets and chains. AFWall+ might not work as expected due to this limitation. EXIT CONTINUE 😕😑😒😢
