Minor Issue

I use this to block ads on Crunchyroll since their ads are long and it works perfectly although there was time it didn’t work; I was able to to fix that though so it’s not an issue! Anyway this is the first app to actually work for me and it’s great since it also has a VPN installed! Edit: So I still use this as blocker for crunchyroll and i’ve been having a really annoying problem. Ever time it blocks an ad it immediately takes me like 10 minutes before the ad started and i have to go back in and skip past all of that since i would have already watched that part of the video. I really like this app and i would hate to remove it off my phone; please fix this issue as soon as you can!

Very good but a few downsides

It works very well. Three main things I have to complaints about. One is that sometimes it randomly disconnects after having it on for a long time. Two is that it doesn’t work for things it previously did. (For example crunchyroll). Three some of the presets might not work as well as stated. On crunchyroll now it goes back a ton when you block an ad, now it’s easily fixable since you just have to skip back to where the ad was skipped as it tells you where all the ads are. The only other problem is that now it isn’t free and I don’t want to pay for any subscription atm, but if I can I soon will. Honestly while it was a free adblocker and now isn’t, as long as it still works I can say that it’ll probably be just as good paid as free.

Works well but..

Now i had this app back then for a 2-3 months and it really worked. It blocked any ads I used to get on Crunchyroll and games I used to play on my phone. But unfortunately, some glitchy stuff started to happen on my phone, the wifi would be slower and not work for me. And would cause my apps to glitch and lag out of the app. I don’t know if anyone has noticed but when you activate this app or feature, the VPN option appears on your phone’s settings, and when it appeared for me, the option of turning on/off on the VPN would glitch as well. It would sometimes turn off and on in a matter of seconds by itself, when I wasn’t even doing anything. It would turn on, then off, then on again, and back to off again, over and over again until it stopped by itself. So after a while, it made my phone even more glitchy and laggy, and slow, at first I thought my phone was sort of broken. But after searching and trying to figure out what was wrong, I deleted the app and my phone was back to normal and worked fine.

A traitor among men.

During the dark ages of the pandemic there was one app. One saving grace. One thing we felt like we could rely upon. Blokada. Come the time where restrictions are being lifted, schools are back and it had almost been the end of a dark era… he snuck upon us and stabbed us in the back. We would open our phones only to realize our ads weren’t being blocked and our vpn not active but blokada was still on our phones. Opening the app we expected that it just randomly shut off (it did that very occasionally) and when we opened it we were met with disgust and horror. Blokada had informed us that our “free trial” was up. “But I didn’t sign up for a free trial” we thought. But Blokada just smiled and said “your trial has ended” as he thrust his blade of ads in our backs and abandoned us to the wayside. He was the chosen one. But he turned into the very thing he sought to destroy. Blokada is an app I will not be returning to after this betrayal without notice. Goodbye old friend…

What an unprofessional way to handle a major change

So, Blokada updates on my iPad this morning. Suddenly no ads being blocked , nada. Go to the app and get the free trial has expired message. Uh, what free trial? So, I'm not completely dense, I see what's happened. I decide the app is worth keeping at least for the free trial period while I decide what to do. But, after following instructions and signing up for trial nothing works, no ads being blocked. Not only couldn't they bother to warn us about the change they couldn't tell us how to correctly keep using the app. Bottom line, the vpn that Blokada had been using needs to go away. So, I just removed and reinstalled app, chose the Blokada dns and everything seems to be working fine. Sad thing is this is an app I will happily pay for when it is working well. I just have a big pet peeve about poor communications at best and purposely hiding the Change until it occurs at worse. This either shows, bad judgment , ineptitude, arrogance, disrespect or maybe all the above. Bottom line, it torques me off the way I was treated as a customer. Minus stars for you until I cool down. Maybe later I'll revise but for now that's what you deserve for not being upfront and honest.

A little issue

Before I decided to write a review on this app I read the other reviews and it seems like other people who have downloaded the app have the same problem that I am having. I’ve had this app for a good bit of time and it worked really well, no adds on any apps (or websites) popped up for me. Until this one game I started playing popped up an add. So I went to the app to make sure it was on and it wasn’t so I turned it on and it kept asking me to subscribe to their monthly or yearly plan. I’ve never had to pay for this app and it never stated I was using a free trial so I was confused. Then after checking on the App Store and reading these reviews I noticed everyone else has to same issues. But then I also noticed people with the app had wifi problems, then I remembered that I did to and the wifi for my whole family was going out a couple of times. I’m pretty sure this app had something to do with it. I don’t have any plans on spending money on this app so I will be deleting it, but I did work really well the time I had it.

Maybe…

When I first downloaded this app around 2-3 months ago, it was working perfectly fine. But about a month into using this app, my Wi-Fi suddenly shuts down for around 3 weeks. Now at first, I did not know what was causing this to happen, so I had to use my IPad for 3 weeks until the app deletes itself and my phone suddenly starts working again. Now I realized that the app deleted itself so I downloaded it again. Then my Wi-Fi shuts down, again. So I went to the settings and realized my VPN was acting up. So the only VPN I had on my phone was your app, Blockada. So I deleted the app and suddenly it starts working again. That’s when I realized that your app was the problem. For some dumb reason I decided to download it again and then it said that I had a description. Now I’m confused because this app was supposed to be free. Unless I get some information about what’s going on I will not be downloading this app again. Have a wonderful day and get to me when you can!

Worked a treat, but after an Apple update, Blokada took the nuclear option in response

So before the 6.0 update, this app worked great. Then Apple changed things about the way Blokada interacted with the system and it still worked, just Less so. Instead of continuing to allow users access to the limited version of the app while explaining the limits and up selling the "Complete" solution, they decided to axe everything but the paid solution with no warning. This is a Terrible way to handle such a drastic change. Especially when the fault was Originally Apple's. Instead of working with their users after Apple's change, they decided to go ham on the paid subscriptions while trying to blame Apple exclusively. Something that would have been accurate had they not gutted the app. ;?It was awesome before, and possibly great now, but the way this change was handled means I can't really trust them not to break things unnecessarily going forward.

When we needed it most, it vanished

Once was a time, where the world was at peace. I had a wife, kids, and friends, this was my family. We all lived in this edenic world where everything was perfect. A town, where everyone could rest and be at ease. This was all thanks to blokada, it blocked ads, had a vpn, and most importantly, it was free, but then the fire nation attacked. Our very protectors who swore to keep us safe betrayed us. They started to force us to pay and our free trial had expired. No free trial existed prior to the announcement, they stopped blocking ads, we then realized that it was a lie, this whole time. We did the best we could to protect ourselves, but it was futile. My friends, wife, my kids, all slaughtered in cold blood. I sat in the ruins of our once humble town surrounded by ones whom I was closest to, I was sad, angry, and filled with grief, I had been trolled. To think that this was a free application would be a lie. To think that this app protected us and swore to do so, is a lie. This app is a lie. Don’t get blokada, it will ruin everything. I sit here, in my temple upon a mountain, meditating, training. Preparing myself to be ready, ready for my revenge, on this scam of an app. Once again, don’t get blokada. It is terrible, and I will never come back again, ever.

Completely broke my LTE and I didn’t realize it for forever

For a long time now I thought there was a huge problem with my carrier or even my phone where I simply could not use any data. I was just bearing with it for a while and recently decided to try and fix it by switching carriers. Nope, didn’t help. Reset all network settings, nope didn’t help.Turns out I had this installed from like a year ago. They switched to a premium plan or something I guess? Not only did they not notify anyone of anything, they kept the broken vpn activated for everyone? Not only that but they made it so you CAN NOT DISABLE the broken VPN that is ruining everything?I have no problem if you need to switch to a paid program, sure gotta do something to sustain it. But maybe simply disable the vpn and ad blocking instead of silently breaking everything. I don’t even remember installing this so I was on the verge of just considering this to be a hardware problem or damage to my phone, until miraculously I realized I could access google and nothing else. Then I found vpn settings somewhere that said blokada, and then I found the app and uninstalled it. Thank god that cleared the vpn settings!Anyway, yeah the user experience was similar to that of ransomware. So glad I managed to find and removed this app. Happy to finally be able to use data again when I’m out and about now, finally free.
