AdGuard Pro — adblock 4+

This app has been a sanity saviour. I was getting constant pop ups and nothing could stop them. After researching many forums, buyer feedback and blogs; I plumped for AdGuard Pro. The experience has been completely positive. It’s easy to install and there are a couple of v short ‘vids’ that explain how to get started. Then it’s a matter (for me) of checking a few boxes in the app and a couple in my iPhone settings.
What has really made my experience POSITIVE has been the tech support service. I am a person who uses their iPhone for everything but doesn’t really understand much of the technical side that some users do. This app is as simple as can be to install, and the benefits enormous. My pop ups stopped as soon as the app was installed. I don’t know why it so so cheap; it’s worth much more.

When will people learn? Turn auto-update OFF. If an app is perfect, don’t update unless the release notes and situation suggest it is a good idea AFTER YOU HAVE BACKED UP TO ITUNES WITH ENCRYPTION ON.

This app will never get updated for me. Why?

1. THE FUNCTIONALITY IS STILL BANNED
- Apple took all of these apps off the store because of THEIR FUNCTIONALITY.
- That FUNCTIONALITY is still not allowed! So what would an “update” possibly bring me??

2. A SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE WILL BE ENFORCED
- AdGuard ‘Pro’ is now a SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE, if you follow their business trends, which even from the basic AdGuard app, you can get the idea of.
- whatever it is this app is offering, which will be worse than the original because of point 1, there will be only one way to imitate a sub-standard version of the original, and that is to pay them a monthly subscription.

PLEASE, PLEASE, TURN AUTO-UPDATES OFF!! Developers update apps to ads, subscription services, take good features away, make good features worse, and they will ALMOST NEVER tell you what they are really doing in the update notes. But put it like this: if the app does what you want it to do, and the update notes do not impress you, there are shortcuts that currently take advantage of the app in ways it probably does not want you to, or has been taken off the store and is suddenly back: DO. NOT. UPDATE.

Some sites you go to you get a pop up and before you can go any further permission is required for them to put cookies on your device and provide you with adds tailored to whatever they think you might want to buy, I really wanted to browse a certain site so I clicked on ok and gave permission for everything just to get rid of the stupid pop up that was covering the whole page, I searched the site and found the thermostat housing for my car and didn’t see one advert, nothing, even though I had reluctantly given permission for everything, AdGuard still didn’t let any adds get through. Thank you AdGuard will use you forever. Still good 5th April 2021 👍
