Used to be beautiful

I’ve used Purify for ages. When first activated, I was so pleased with the blocking of huge amounts of clutter. Count me very pleased. Lately my tablets (all of them) have been getting buggy: apps load slowly and crash unexpectedly; videos won’t play in app, webpages occasionally can’t be loaded by Safari and so on. I tested for problems with the ISP, the VPN, the software updates and tried reboots. The situation deteriorated until I came to check Purify on the App Store. “Optimized for iOS 12.” What? Seems the developer has abandoned maintenance. Sooooo, I suggest you look elsewhere. Maybe use DuckGoGo as your browser, as its totally privacy oriented. This is a great app that went by the wayside.
The Best

I’ve been using Purify since iOS allowed content blockers into Safari. It’s always been my favorite. I’ve tried several, and they all have their pluses, but Purify is simple and elegant and most importantly, effective.
No longer blocks ads

Sadly it has stopped blocking ads in many sites, including YouTube.
Purity used to work, doesn’t anymore!

I had purity on my iPhone for quite a while, when it first came out it worked great lately I haven’t noticed it working at all!
Worked well but abandoned, no privacy details

This app worked great when it first came out! However, the last update was 3 years ago and no privacy details have been provided. It seems to no longer work as well and, given how I don’t know how it’s handling my personal information, I no longer feel comfortable having this installed.
Needs to be updated

It’s never really blocked ads as much as it blocks scripts. This means that on most sites if there is a menu to open or a search, it doesn’t work until I whitelist it. Usually I’ll white list a site and afterwords I’ll remove it from the whitelist. Now with iOS 15 it doesn’t show the newly white listed sites in the app anymore. On top of that when I go into private mode it treats every site as white listed. At least it seems that way so far. When I white list a site, the only way to remove it from the list is to go to that site and select the “Purify Preferences” again. When Apple announced that Safari extensions were being added in iOS 15 I was excited that Purify would be updated as an extension, if not already. But now I see it hasn’t been updated in a few years.
