Weblock: adblock & proxy App Reviews

203 add

Unstable

Cant add to whitelist. Cant connect to server. Cant tell if its working or not.

Update crippled it

Update to my review: I uninstalled the app then reinstalled. Still no connection, still get the server error. I even downgraded to version 4.2.2 that I had on my computer and still had the server connection failure. Like many others, I now get a server error after the 4.3 update. Weblock automatically disables itself. Critical error, devs. Heres hoping you push a fix immediately.

It WAS a good program.

Ever since last up date it wont run on my iPhone. Tried deleting and reinstalling. Didnt help. Before the last update it worked really well.

Error unable to connect

Doesnt work at all. Gives an error - unable to connect. Please fix!!!

Crapptastic!

Since last updated, app does not work. Refund my money and Ill go find an app that works.

Doesnt work on Pandora

Doesnt work on 100% on Pandora. It block the banner ads, but not the audio ads. After the audio ads play, the app crashes then no songs play.

Useful

Wont work with Youtube though, but useful nonetheless.

Need help

I installed app correctly but when I go to YouTube and watch videos video ads are still showing

Easy to Use

Overall, a fairly decent app which is actually worth downloading. I realize a lot of folks are reporting problems with the 4.3 update, but I guess I am one of the few who hasnt had any kind of problems with it. It is ridiculously easy to set up, and once done, you can pretty much forget about it. It works away quietly in the background doing its job as advertised. It would be nice if it blocked all the ads on Facebook...But that may be more about Facebook than about Weblock. When the app gets to the point of blocking all the ads from the majority of the sites I visit regularly, Ill add that final star.

Update caused problems

This last update has caused some websites (news, real estate and videos) to stop working. White listing them does not help. Turn Web Blocker off, reset wifi and they work. Turn Web Blocker back on, reset wifi and they dont work. Up until now it has been a five star.

Works, but

It works as advertised. It definitely drains my battery quicker. Some apps I have to refresh numerous times to get updated data. On safari most pages load, yet the blue loading indicator is only half full and the loading wheel still churns. Many times I have to refresh new safari pages to get them to load. Their customer service has been great so far with other issues. Hopefully I can get these other issues solved.

Awful

This app doesnt even let me connect. I deleted it and downloaded it again but still does not work. It keeps tell me there is an error and now I just threw away money.

Broken

Recent update broke the app completely.

Great app & great support

Purchased this app, it was not working - kept giving an error. Contacted their support and within 24 hours they had identified my problem (iCloud related) and submitted a fix to Apple. Just downloaded the update, this version fixed my problem and app is blocking adds as its supposed to. Great work!

Almost perfect

Unfortunately it doesnt block ads in cellular connection but works perfectly fine on Wi-Fi. It block ads on apps too which is heaven. As for cellular, you can use a free ad blocker like Focus from Mozilla. That way you get rid of ALL ads. Highly recommended.

No Problemo!

VERY useful, reliable & consistent on my 128GB iPhone 6s now running iOS v. 9.3.

Doesnt work

I feel robbed. I followed the instructions and the stupid thing doesnt even work

Works great

Simple to use and very effective.

BUY NOW. Must have for sure.

This app paired with their other one - Adblock - makes for a great ad-free experience in every app on your phone. Adblock uses a little bit different way of blocking ads that this one doesnt use. Specifically, the other one works when NOT connected to Wi-Fi, while this one does. With the two of them though, youre set. Had a couple issues that I email the developer about and a quick fix was released an update to the app store. Problem solved. I highly recommend this app, and once you buy it, please come back in here and leave your own review so that more people can see this great app. Btw - I am not affiliated anyway with this app or the developer. Im simply a very happy customer who wishes an ad-free life for everyone. :)

Update 4.3.1 works!

3/29/16 Update 4.3.1 works and fixes the issues from Version 4.3. Blocks ads when on WiFi. 3/23/16 Update. Version 4.3 update does not work. When you try to Enable Weblock, it says needs to be connected to Internet. My phone is connected so deleted and reinstalled 4.2.2 which still works. Will wait for next update. 12/6/14 - iPhone 6 Plus user: I was hesitant at first because of the one star Most Recent ratings. But when I visited their website and went to FAQ, I noticed they provided updated info so I gave it a try. It works and blocks ads on Safari and my favorite apps! It does take a few minutes to set up as you need to select all Adservers, etc, but to me, it was all worth it. I suggest once you install it, click the top Menu on the left corner of the app and go to Setup. Also go to their website FAQ section on how to setup Weblock for additional instructions. Once you have the first WIFI connection figured out, you can pretty much easily add other WIFIs when you connect.
