## Review summary

Users say the app is free and easy to use and can block some ads on certain sites, with a desktop-like feel. However, blocking is inconsistent and often ineffective on major sites like YouTube, and iOS/Safari performance is poor. Some sites bypass the blocker or cause login/loading issues, and filter updates can require reinstall. Overall, it's a partial, unreliable ad blocker rather than a robust mobile solution.

### Pros

- Free to use.
- Blocks some ads on some sites (partial blocking).
- Easy to install and use.
- Feels like desktop ad-blocking (PC-like experience).

### Cons

- Ads are not blocked on major sites (especially YouTube) and blocking is inconsistent.
- Sites can bypass the blocker, reducing effectiveness.
- Poor performance on iOS/Safari; difficulty finding content blockers.
- Can interfere with login or loading on some sites.
- Filter lists updates can require reinstall or troubleshooting.
