Hi! Currently the app supports a maximum of four instances. I’m not planning to support more in the near future, sorry! - Joost
I was but to buy, but…

It feels fine to use, but I don’t support a developer paywalling features after release so I will continue to use the free version instead. I may even purchase other app INSTEAD OF this app, just to show my disappointment.You can open-source the app with all of the features and paywalling features/limiting counts on App Store, since the Apple Developer due is still a thing. But removing a feature your free users contribute towards is just wrong.
Free features taken away

Features like widgets to pause blocking and live query log have been paywalled when they were originally free.
v9.3 lets you jump from the Home chart straight to matching Query Log entries and adds an aggregated query chart for combined instances. It also improves Sync Instances, widget reliability, and brings a broad round of fixes.
* Changelog *
New:
- Select a time in the Home chart to view matching Query Log entries (press and pull down on touch devices, or click on Mac)
- Combined instances now show an aggregated query chart
Improved:
- Sync Instances now preserves enabled states and group assignments when copying adlists and domains, and batches new entries for faster transfers
Fixed:
- Apple Watch now stays in sync when you add, edit, remove, or reorder Pi-hole instances
- PHR+ status now syncs automatically to Apple Watch after purchases, restores, and subscription changes
- Improved connection reliability for IPv6 hosts and custom API paths, and fixed sessions sometimes refreshing too late
- Fixed older Query Log results opened from charts sometimes being incomplete or duplicated, and blank hidden-domain entries hiding results
- Fixed Query Log date ranges around daylight-saving changes and the newest partial history period sometimes being omitted
- Fixed Sync Instances incorrectly reporting different domains, adlists, or Local DNS records as already in sync, showing stale connection details, and repeatedly timing out on unavailable instances
- Fixed Sync Instances not updating existing group and client settings, silently ignoring some transfer failures, starting multiple transfers at once, and showing incorrect item counts before syncing
- Fixed a crash when disabling blocking from a Shortcut or widget after all Pi-hole instances had been removed
- Fixed indefinite blocking from Shortcuts showing an expired Live Activity, and prevented failed disables from starting one
- Live Activities now update and end more reliably when timers are extended or blocking is re-enabled, display the correct final status, and support controls on iOS 17.0
- Improved stability when Pi-hole returns malformed or unusually large query, history, or statistics data, while preserving more detailed error messages
- Widgets now refresh more reliably and recover correctly after connection errors or when no Pi-hole instances are configured
- Fixed Statistics widgets showing placeholder values as real data when every selected instance is unavailable, and formatting zero blocked queries incorrectly in percentage mode
- Fixed the Disable widget preview when All Instances is selected, restored the Query Graph legend, and ensured Indefinitely is translated correctly

v9.2.1 makes client activity easier to inspect and fixes iCloud syncing and a lingering Live Activity.
* Changelog *
Improved:

Fixed:

- Fixed the Live Activity sometimes remaining on the Lock Screen after blocking was re-enabled

v9.2 improves error reporting in Blocked Services and keeps your screen on while viewing the Live Log, plus a couple of bug fixes.
* Changelog *
Improved:
- Improved error reporting in Blocked Services
- The screen no longer dims automatically while viewing the Live Log
Fixed:
- Fixed certain Blocked Services (such as YouTube, Discord and Pinterest) sometimes staying active on your Pi-hole after being toggled off
- Fixed a glitch when editing or removing Upstream DNS Servers in DNS Settings
