Description

• #1 ad blocking solution for iOS, available since 2012 • Over 750 000 app downloads worldwide • No in-app purchases, no subscription. Simple one-time payment • Top Utility ranked in all App Stores around the world • Over 1000+ carefully crafted filters • Easy setup in under 1 minute with detailed tutorial • Now with built-in Safari Content Blocker for better web ad protection Weblock allows you to control how your device fetches online content. Easily manage PAC (Proxy Auto-Config) script and route different connections through different proxy servers. Weblock can make your device download ads (banners and popups), stats and user tracking, scripts or images through a proxy server you pick. It also allows you to use a different proxy for specific websites, like Facebook, Twitter, Google+, social widgets from websites. You can even define your own content filters. With Weblock you can control proxy for basically any network resource! This way you can choose not to reveal your real IP to different services, limit advanced ad targeting and protect your privacy. IMPORTANT NOTICE: You're responsible for selecting a proxy server that allows you to download content you wish to download. We DO NOT provide a proxy service. Using a bad proxy server (like 127.0.0.1:8021) might result in some resources being blocked. You can control your proxy settings selectively with Weblock. Contact our support if you need help choosing right proxy server or setting up Weblock on your device. Here are some situations in which Weblock might come in handy: • Fetch ads through a proxy server you choose. Protect your privacy and prevent ad servers from knowing your real IP address and tracking you. • Disable majority of ads on websites you visit on your iOS device! Weblock supports all major web browsers: Safari, Chrome, Mercury and others (browsers redirecting web traffic through third-party servers like Puffin Browser or Opera Mini are not be supported). • Easily remove all native Facebook widgets and plugins (Like buttons, comments, etc.) on sites you visit - simply disable Facebook plugins in Weblock! Do the same for Twitter, Google+ and other social media. • Stop annoying Tapatalk popups, nagging you to download forum browsing app on every visit. • Take control of someone else's device - you can preconfigure any iOS device to control it with your Weblock app. Block or redirect any content, anytime, directly from your own device. • Your predefined filters and custom rules can be synced between all your iOS devices using iCloud. • If you wish to block something else, you can create your own rules and filters. You can block any URL (with regular expressions), domain or IP address. Don't know how? Let us know - we're here for you. • You can also use Weblock's redirect feature to emulate '/etc/hosts' entries for HTTP and HTTPS traffic. This might be useful for web and app developers to pin domains to different IP addresses. ••• IMPORTANT! ••• Need help setting up Weblock? Contact our support directly through the app.

    I’ve been using Weblock for years and years, and it’s always done a great job. But this week, several apps finally started to break through and show ads, most annoyingly Bored Panda, which throws up full-screen video ads at random in the app, and then begs you to whitelist it (to BP: This behavior is WHY we block ads!). I’ve contacted the developer, but given how long it’s been since this has been updated, I’m not expecting a fix. It still works in some apps, particularly games, so it’s not a total loss yet, but I’m afraid I’m going to have to start looking for an ad-blocking VPN now.

    I’ve not found a single app this thing is successful at blocking any ads whatsoever. Waste of $2
  • iOS 15 made this useless

    It’s getting to the point where we’ll have to watch ads just to answer our phone. I have used and loved this app since its first appeared and it was amazing at blocking all ads. Never saw an ad till I downloaded iOS 15, which completely disabled this app. It doesn’t work on iOS 14.8 either. Really disappointed and hope there will be an update to fix this issue very soon.

    I paid $2.14 for an ad blocker that does not block any ads. I seen a way to get a refund and nobody responds to my messages when I request assistance. I don’t understand why my old ad blocker can’t be transferred to my new phone. It actually worked and I didn’t have to check 1000 different ad types or uncheck them. Anyway, this does not work at all. I’ve got a great VPN so I didn’t need a VPN. It literally has not blocked one ad in Pandora or my Tetris game app.

    The app just worked, never saw ads, sometimes a picture or something would be missing but it was worth not seeing ads. It fell off a cliff about two years ago, now it doesn’t block anything. Sad to see it go, but today I am deleting the app.
