Many reviews highlight billing and marketing concerns (paywalls, false free claims, recurring charges) as the dominant negatives, with frequent reports that ads aren’t reliably blocked and that the app can be unstable. A smaller portion praise the app and note it works well when subscribed or during a trial.

### Cons

- False advertising / bait-and-switch concerns: several reviews claim the app markets itself as free or promotes a free download but then demands payment to block ads.
- Ad blocking not reliably effective: reports of ads still appearing, popups and redirects despite using the app or enabling features.
