What’s New
Version 5.0.1
Magic Lasso Adblock v5.0 now lets you block ads and trackers across all apps on your iPhone and iPad — not just in Safari. The new App Ad Blocking feature builds upon our powerful Safari and YouTube ad blocking, extending protection to News apps, Social media, Games and other browsers like Chrome and Firefox.
With the new App Ad Blocking feature, you can:
- Block ads in your favourite apps – Whether you’re scrolling through social media, playing games, or reading the news, ads are blocked automatically — creating a cleaner, faster experience across your device.
- Block ads in any browser – Magic Lasso still blocks ads natively in Safari. But now it also blocks them in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and other browsers too — so you’re protected no matter what browser you use.
- Stop hidden in-app trackers – Many apps secretly track your activity and sell your data to third parties. App Ad Blocking helps shut down these trackers before they load, giving you stronger privacy everywhere.
- Speed up your internet – App Ad Blocking routes your traffic through a fast, private DNS, improving speed and reducing data leaks to your ISP.
To block ads and trackers across all apps on your device, open the app, go to Rules > App Ad Blocking and tap “Enable…”. Then when prompted, tap “Enable App Ad Blocking” and tap “Allow” to give permission for network content filtering.
That’s it! Ad and tracker blocking will now be active system-wide via the Magic Lasso Adblock VPN. If you ever want to turn off App Ad Blocking, just go back to Rules > App Ad Blocking in the app.
Also in v5.0.1, Performance Insights got a visual upgrade! You can now see a live graph of how many ads and trackers are being blocked every hour — split between Safari and App Ad Blocking. It’s a simple way to understand the positive impact of ad blocking across your browsing and app activity.
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.
