## Review summary

Overall, reviews are mixed. Many users praise the app for blocking ads (notably in Safari and in search results) and for being free, with some calling it among the best blockers. However, a large number report it does not block ads reliably (YouTube and other apps still show ads). Others complain the app itself shows ads, or that the paid upgrade is poor value. Some face device compatibility and usability issues (fast tutorials, missing exception options). Results vary by device and usage.

### Pros

- Blocks ads in Safari and other apps for some users, functioning as advertised.
- Effectively reduces ads from Google search results (no more ads on top).
- Frequently described by users as one of the best ad blockers they've used.
- Works for some users and is perceived as effective.
- Free to use (no upfront purchase required).

### Cons

- Not reliably blocking ads; many reviews report ads still appear (YouTube, general browsing).
- The app itself displays ads, and removing them may require rating or workaround.
- Paid upgrade is expensive and users feel it provides little or no value.
- Limited platform support or cross-device issues (some users report iPad incompatibility).
- Tutorial is very fast/ hard to read and there is a lack of clear guidance or exception options.
