What’s New
Version 4.8
v4.8 includes all the great new features from prior version 4 releases including our biggest ad blocking performance update ever, ad blocking for an additional 40 regions and languages, performance insights so you can see the difference ad blocking makes, family sharing support plus much more.
After updating, open the Magic Lasso app to ensure you are updated to the most recent ad block rules.
Magic Lasso Adblock version 4 includes these great new features:
- Ad Blocking Performance - overhauled ad blocking coverage and improvements to existing ad blocking quality; including the ability to block ads on Adult Sites and more effective blocking of Anti-Ad Block warnings.
- Regional Ad Blocking – block ads, trackers and annoyances across an additional 40 regions and languages.
- Performance Insights – see the difference ad blocking makes and visualise ad blocking speed, energy efficiency and data savings for any site. You can use the Safari toolbar button to see the ad blocking speed increase, energy savings, carbon reduction, data savings and the number of ads and trackers prevented. And with Insights on the Overview screen of the Magic Lasso app, you can view the data and energy saved, along with the average speed increase and total number of ads blocked since you enabled Magic Lasso.
- Tap to Block – Simply tap any element on a web page and watch it disappear from your view, ensuring it never disturbs your browsing again. And thanks to Tap to Block’s intelligence, any similar or repeating elements on the page, or across the whole site will also be removed. Adjustments are easy using the Expand or Contract buttons for refining your selection. Additionally, the Hide button provides an instant preview of the page without the selected elements visible. Advanced users seeking direct control can edit the resulting CSS to allow for precise selection and more sophisticated logic.
- Custom Rules – Craft your own ad blocking rules to block media, cookies, and JavaScript. Custom Rules complement Magic Lasso’s built-in ad blocking rules to ensure a faster, cleaner, and more personalised browsing experience. Custom Rules can apply to specific pages, all pages from a given site, or all web pages. Better yet, these rules seamlessly sync across your devices via iCloud, ensuring consistent ad blocking across all Apple platforms.
- Family Sharing - Share Magic Lasso with all your family member's devices. Family Sharing is included with Magic Lasso and there is no additional cost to use Family Sharing on the platform that you originally started using the app.
- iOS 18 Support – including an updated App icon with Dark and Tinted variants.
Ratings and Reviews
Great service
I previously wrote the developer complaining about the lack of a universal subscription. I heard back that they were considering adding that ability. Not only did they add it✅, but when they added it I got a reply to my original email letting me know that they added it. What a great example of superior customer service and follow through.
Those same qualities are obvious in the app. They think about things, pay attention to details and follow through.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your great feedback and support. We're continuing to improve the app to make Magic Lasso Adblock the best ad blocker in the world.
The app I’ve been searching for!
I am so happy I downloaded Magic Lasso! I’ve used other ad-blocking apps in the past but none are as efficient as this one. During my test run, I didn’t see a single advertisement or pop-up, and I noticed that the page loading times for Safari have decreased significantly. I definitely recommend this as I am now browsing the web faster than ever with no annoying ads (a millennial’s dream come true! 😜)
Does not work
I was hoping this would be an easy way around YT’s recent ad-block crack down, as the free ad-blockers I’d been using have recently stopped consistently working. Even though this was a paid option, I figured it may be worth paying for, as long as the end result worked. Unfortunately, after working mostly fine for 2 days, today it is also no longer performing its function, which is the same result I got from the free ad-blockers. So what exactly is worth paying for here? I didn’t even end up having to use the full 30 days of the free trial, because it stopped working after 2 days.
Developer Response ,
We are continually improving our YouTube ad blocking to workaround any issues that arise when YouTube changes their approaches and introduces new anti-ad blocking techniques. As you note, sometimes this may result in a small period of time when issues may crop up on YouTube, but we are dedicated to minimising this as much as feasible. We will have a new release due this month which will ensure all YouTube ads are blocked without any problems if you wanted to give the app another try once this v4.5.3 release is available.
