User Reviews for AdGuard Pro — adblock&privacy

2 stars… too intransparent, too buggy

This app does NOT give you an option to remove the VPN profile if you decide not to use the DNS service. You'll have to delete the app to delete the profile… that's rather intransparent. What's even worse is that it completely cripples my iPhone after a reboot, apps will not open past the splashscreen, Wi-Fi will not connect (settings app freezes when i tap "Wi-Fi"). When I disable the DNS service inside AdGuard, turn on flight mode, then turn on Wi-Fi, only THEN my phone becomes responsive again when using a cellular connection. Using the AdGuard DNS service will use ~10MB a month, which is beyond my understanding seeing as AdGuard Pro will only create a "local" tunnel and not route traffic through servers. The app either still updates filters on cellular (even though I turned that off) or sends/receives high amount of data when using the DNS service. The more I switch between Wi-Fi and cellular, the higher the cellular data usage of the app. Why?

Nip in the bud with DNS

This app is powerful and you will likely see that some of your applications stop working right away. This is a good thing. It will help you to filter out the services and companies who don’t properly respect your privacy and data and question whether it’s worth it to continue using them.Since it uses DNS the request is stopped before it ever starts, dramatically cutting down on processing time. You will find that there are a staggering number of trackers in the wild, and who knows where they all lead to at the end of their supply chains. With this app you will at least take a big dent out of that activity in your life. I was also able to apply to my wife’s phone using the shared app functionality. Highly recommended and worth every cent.

LOVE IT! Only thing I ever worry about is my VPN and AdGuard colliding.

Absolutely amazing!!! I’ve tried pretty much every AdBlocker on the AppStore. (For mobile use) and ADGUARD is without a doubt years ahead of the rest. I use it with NordVPN and have tried it with Norton Secure VPN. Both worked fine together under single tunnel mode.The only doubt I’ve ever had, would be if they’re both actually working fine. Both connected, NordVPN shows no signs of malfunction either.I also use both on my Desktop as well, since they’re both (NordVPN and AdGuard ) different and have + features on Desktop. I would like to know if the the security features would cancel each other out, especially since I already have Mcafee security on my desktop. For the moment I turned of AdGuard Security, and NordVPN Security. Just in case. Anyway, Overall! AMAZING!!

Only apple store security program I trust

Fantastic app, literally the perfect position when it comes to having a ton of advanced customizable settings/features without it getting out of hand like say Surge. Only two gripes; not enough group resources where I can see people openly discussing iOS settings and tricks. Secondly, the AdGuard pro browser extension has broken basically all of my web browser pages when it’s installed, and since I don’t have a token/account page on AdGuard because it’s a Pro purchase. I can’t seem to delete the user rules without them somehow getting backed up. I also wish you could set the endpoints for the vpn tunnel as well, get a lot of sniffers sometimes but everything else in the app is fantastic!

Terrible Software - Either Works Too or Not At All

I expected to install this app, enable it, and have intrusive ads reduced in number. On one particular page that was flooded with ads, there was zero change in the number of pop-ups and banner ads after installing and enabling the app in Safari. I attempted to individually block these elements only to have them come back once I'd gone through the laborious process of switching from safari to the app, then back to safari, then refreshing the page.I then made sure that all the content blockers for Adguard were enabled only to NOT BE BLE TO LOAD THE PAGE AT ALL. I determined that this was due to the "Adguard Pro - Other" content blocker. There is, apparently, no way to see what rules are part of that list. Even with all other blockers enabled, all of the ads still appear. This app is not only useless for the purpose I purchased it for, the interface is infuriating. There is no reason I should have to switch between apps when manually locking an element (that doesn't even remain blocked anyway.)

Something went wrong

The app was working fine, then one day when I launched it to check on how it was doing. There was red text at the top saying "Safari Content Blocker is disabled". It was strange as my toggle for that in the Safari setting was set to "ON". I clicked on "check for updates" and an error popped up saying "Filters cannot be loaded to Safari...", so I tried to follow the instructions, cleared off the blacklist and cleared the selected filters, but when I did that, the same error message popped up and it reset my filters to the unchanged state.I ended up uninstalled and reinstalled the app to reset the VPN profile but when I launched the newly installed app. It stuck on the loading screen which said it wouldn't take longer than 30s to load filters into Safari but that screen never went away. I can't no longer access the app as I could not go past that screen. Quite frustrating!

Is great program and Adguard support Top notch H 🔥🤝

Have been using adguard for years. Not only is the product spectacular at blocking adds and more. But the customer support is always able in lending a hand too. In with either email or the Laden in with support. So for this I thank you all. Also make note you can also block adds in with other apps too so it's been definitely a win for me in with that and my personal privacy too. Thanks again for such a splendid product. Edit: as late has gotten semi worse. As well the app is a wonderful app. But lately is is and us gotten buggy like a hack. On other notes. The company and dns is the best out. It should work hand in hand with other applications.

Adguard Pro

I had been using Adblock by Futuremind before I have had a chance to find out about this one. Be honest with you, I have never had any issues with the Adlock, and it was working like charm, till I get to try it with a Vpn connection. For some reasons I needed to use a Vpn, and once I did it, the Adblock stopped blocking the ads. It was kinda annoying. Adguard Pro has so far coped with my expectations. I haven't seen any app I currently use has any ads in them. Even if I connect to a Vpn server. So far, I am really impressed by the developers work. I hope that the team is gonna keep up with their hard work in the future as well. I suggest this adblocker to anyone who wants to have a reliable adblocking app which blocks Safari and in Apps ads, and wants to use it even when they are connected to a Vpn network.

Power-User Features

This is the most comprehensive ad/tracker blocking solution I’ve ever used (I’ve used many other “content blockers”... WeBlock comes close but lacks some of AdGuard Pro’s key features)The ability to choose from a variety of block lists has proved to be very useful. I found the best combo of lists for my needs after a day or two of internet use. The system-wide privacy module is great as well (the VPN feature). I’ve only enabled the three suggested hosts lists (might be overkill) and I notice that many of my apps now exclude ads (like banner ads in Pandora, Speedtest, and games). Best of all is the ability to see the log of what connections my device has been making in order to diagnose which additional ad/tracker connections I want to block. It’s also great just to see how many trackers I’m avoiding now! I’ve been told trackers slow down overall load times so that’s a major plus. Only downside for me is with the speed of the custom DNS service choices (which isn’t AdGuard’s fault). I was really hoping the Google DNS or OpenDNS services would help with response times, but I’ve found that sticking to the default system DNS option yields the fastest page response times, so I don’t use this feature. Overall an amazingly feature-rich application which I couldn’t live without on both my iPhone and Mac! Highly recommend.

Why Change the GUI?

So speed is enhanced, but why change the Graphic User Interface? There used to be a nice, clear list of Standard AND encrypted Servers, also notating their location (Country or even City & State for some). It took me a day to find an encrypted server — I gave my data to the world in the interim...I can’t find a tutorial, though one was there after the “update” — Seems every time I choose an update, I loose both security and functionality — I wish I would have not taken the update that had Apple’s new 1984 restrictions earlier in 2020, not sure if I should have taken this one... At least it seems faster... Hope it continues and the “skin” is improved for functionality.Thank you for caring about privacy, though...
