User Reviews for Bolt — Adblock for Safari

Simple and to the point!

Great App, does what it says it’ll do and blocks all those pesky ads so you can’t complain 👍

It worked great for about 2 years

This extension was the best for a while for me, but it no longer does what it’s intended to do, I have no idea how or why, but the ads are back

Not for iPad...

Works well only iPhone, but has no effect on the FB ads on my iPad. IOS 15, iPad 7th gen.

Stopped updating my lists

All of a sudden, it has stopped updating my lists.

Effective and Trustworthy!!

This app keeps ads away, it's free, and the developer is honest. Facebook, for example, will be much slower in loading. However, that is because the platform forces its intrusive, information collecting devices onto you, which Bolt prevents from accessing our computers. At least, from what I can tell. If you have issues with accessing a trustworthy website, simply add the site to the Whitelist on the Bolt application, and you should be able to access the site without a problem!!Highly recommended!

Does the blocking, but noticeably slows down browsing

I tried the app and it’s great that it’s open source and it does work. However, in my experience (on an iPhone 12 Pro Max), even with some (not all) filter lists turned on and enabled in Safari, browsing the web slowed down noticeably. This has not been the case with another open source as blocker available on the App Store, which leads me to believe it is specific to Bolt. Ostensibly, Bolt is pretty heavy on the CPU, which slows down page loading. Would be great if this was improved, as otherwise this is a great app.

Updated are not forthcoming

Hello. Since you don’t have any option to contact you via your website, I’m writing on this platform. I see you have a whole list of updates but they do not contain any information as to what was rue updates contained or improved on. The explanation says nothing, just general small updates here. Minor update there. Your team is relatively new with this being your second app and it being the first one in some thing that everybody uses, i.e. Safari. Therefore, your reputation has not been established I know I do not trust simply just because you say you don’t collect any information. It’s something that would have been earn, and with the fact that you’re being so completely vague about what each update includes that doesn’t look good. Perhaps you can be transparent. Thank you. I will change this review once communication improves and safety becomes obvious as a primary concern.

Can’t block certain domains

I used to use Bolt a lot! Now, it takes forever to load up lists when launched and it can’t block all domain names. For instance, I wanted to block a .quest domain and it won’t let me. So, pop ups from that domain exist.I’d like to be able to blacklist anything I choose. Not what Bolt wants me to choose.

Description

Bolt is an adblocker, with privacy and efficiency in mind, for iPhone and iPad. EASY TO USE Bolt blocks advertisements directly within Safari. Therefore, you can continue browsing as you used to before, now without the ads.

Just download Bolt, launch it once to set it up and activate it. Enjoy a ad-free, lighter and faster web. PRIVACY Bolt is also able to block trackers. Regain privacy when browsing! Not like some other apps, we do NOT collect a single data from you! PERFORMANCE By removing the ads you'll be able to load webpages up to four times faster while reducing your data consumption at the same time. CUSTOM SETTINGS Bolt provides several filter lists. You are able to choose exactly what you want to block: ads, privacy trackers, adult websites, ... UPDATES You are able to retrieve up-to-date filter lists from the application. ----- Bolt+ is an addition to Bolt. It's based on another process that integrates with your entire device (and isn't limited to Safari alone). The aim is still to block as many ads and trackers as possible, all without collecting any data! Bolt+ requires a $0.99/month or $9.99/year subscription (prices may vary by region). You can stop your subscription at any time to avoid renewing it. * Privacy policy: https://bolt.lchamp.com/privacy.html * Terms and conditions: https://bolt.lchamp.com/termsandconditions.html ----- If you have any suggestion, don't hesitate to leave a comment on the AppStore!
