Shows Ads

This is an ad-blocker that itself shows non-dismiss-able ads for the developer’s other products. Some sort of a joke, I guess.

The blocking is fantastic on all but the most uncommonly visited sites. Reminds me of why I jailbroke for these features before they existed on the App Store. Easily the best free adblocker on the AppStore. With that said, I'm confused about why the dev made it free and whether that means there's some other monetization method. Something could be said about gift horses and mouths but I'm nonetheless curious.

Doesn’t block

I thought this was a good way to block porn sites but it didn’t work. So whats the point of the app. A waste of money imo. Only to find out I have to buy a newer version for stuff to work. No thanks. Time to shop my money.

Simple to use and works

Simple to use and works. You only get one enabled blocker at a time, but if you’re just looking for the basics that will do. If looking for more, I’d suggest the new 1Blocker X instead of the in-app premium upgrade of 1Blocker Legacy (this app).

Removed features that I paid for. Do not support this developer!

New App

I'm always right!!!

I paid for the premium adblock from 1blocker, but then they decided to come out with a new app and take more of my money and abandon this apps The adblock no longer works as well as it did and I’d like a refund since I do not want to repay for the new app.

Burn That Brand-Loyalty Fellas!

Deceptive. Pricing. How many times do you expect me to pay? (Apparently the answer is 3. 3 times. So far...) Up-front pricing > in-app purchase > repackaged as new app. We choose to live in the Apple ecosystem because we want a secure, transparent and positive end-user experience. With increasingly invasive ads and unscrupulous tracking methods growing by the day, I initially turned to this app based positive reviews and several endorsements from reputable Apple sites. Content and Ad Blockers are supposed to improve and clarify our experience while protecting our privacy. So, despite myriad cheaper (or free) alternatives, I gladly paid full price to support the Devs, without so much as a test-drive. Because it’s not an issue of money — but value — by finding a trustworthy ally in a sea of untrustworthy companies and marketers. So, when I was suddenly locked out of the “Premium” features I already paid for (because they are now an ‘in-app purchase’), I was upset. Then, they announced 1BlockerX, and I came to realize this won’t stop... they are not an ally. Asking loyal customers to buy the same app for a THIRD TIME? If you wanted $15, then charge $15! With great features, strong reviews, and early adoption, 1Blocker had a chance to be the Premier App in the category... All they had to do was TAKE CARE OF THE USERS. Corner the market, have good word-of-mouth, and slowly raise the price like every other high-quality product. Instead, they shot themselves in the foot by stabbing current customers in the back, punishing those of us foolish enough to buy-in early. Instead I (and many others) have moved on to Purify. Some things money can’t buy... And a reputation is one of them.

Hostile pay transition

To upgrade to the latest version, you get to buy it again. Doesn’t block all ads. Spend your money elsewhere.

Pay to update

Dawns reviews

Draconian company practices. Bought 1Blocker and now I get to pay to upgrade to the latest version. Never giving money to this company again.
