Essential to a good security/privacy toolbox. Needs a note function to remind me why I allowed/blocked a given domain. A log only mode would be awesome for troubleshooting. Some apps don't work with it on and don't show anything being blocked.

Ok so *inhale* I LOVE this AdBlocker. It’s by far the most thorough and advanced AdBlocker on the market. I’ve done numerous tests and this definitely takes the cake. I mean, this thing can use DNS to block ads on APPS people!! That’s groundbreaking! That little VPN addon is astounding and allows me to use some of my favorite apps without having to deal with intrusive ads. It’s probably saved me over $100 of potential subscription fees that would’ve had to pay to get rid of ads (you know what I’m talking about)
But here’s the thing, it’s not perfect. In order to get maximum protection I have to pair this thing up with Ghostery. I don’t mind, but I have no idea why their databases are different and/or all inclusive. On top of that, the VPN or DNS that they give you with AdGuard Pro is AMAZING at blocking ads…but not so good at masking your IP. And by not so good, I mean downright terrible. I have to pair this thing up with Proton VPN and switch between them depending on whether I’m using apps or browsing.
Despite its small downsides, this thing is downright impressive and I truly think it’s worth the flat fee. Keep it up AdGuard :D

this app mostly works these days HOWEVER it drains the battery hard and fast.

Some fix. It still says “File Update Error” when there was no error period. It’s still a error in iOS 17 itself. The only way to really fix it is to be active in the iOS 18 beta and do away with the error once and forever.

This app has been great and I appreciate the detailed app notes from the devs. Would recommend this app to anyone!

AdGuard Pro is a cross-platform power tool that can protect all of your apps, browsers and devices, yet has smart default settings that make it fairly easy for anyone to use. I sometimes forget how hard AdGuard is working for me in the background unless I turn it off temporarily and get a harsh reminder of how insane the distraction-filled, ad and tracking infested Internet is without protection.

I rarely write reviews on App store apps unless I'm having a problem with it — however, I have been using AdGuard Pro for about a decade now, and I am elated to say that I cannot report any. In fact, it keeps improving, which is extraordinarily rare for an app of AdGuard's age — usually developers abandon existing users with some barely improved "completely new" release; not so with AdGuard, thankfully.
My only request would be to add the ability to convert my existing lifetime license to one usable on the AdGuard site (for Android or other platforms, if I decide to ditch iOS at some point; a distinct possibility as the platform gains more and more ads for Apple services). Thanks for the ad-free experience I've had over the years, AdGuard team. Your app truly makes iOS (and the internet itself) a better, more usable thing!

No more ads in apps.
No more ads in Safari.
YouTube and Google apps will still have ads and empty spaces which adblockers can’t do anything about, but at least AdGuard gives you a shortcut to watch a YouTube app vid in Safari web container with no ads.

No idea what I am doing wrong, but I have all the content blockers enabled under safari>extensions but the app continues to tell me that its not enabled, and therefore refuses to work.

Often times, the vpn symbol is on and connected but it doesn’t actually block anything. Then you need to toggle the vpn or enable and disable it in the app to actually get it to work. Annoying.
