  1. 5/5Best Adblocker for iOS, Basically a Firewall

    I’ve loved this app for many years - it’s one of the best ad-blocking solutions for iOS. AdGuard Pro is simple to use yet offers powerful customization options. The Safari content blocker effectively removes ads and annoyances while keeping pages fast and clean. The DNS filtering module (the best part of this app), with support for DNSSEC, adds another layer of protection, blocking trackers and unwanted content across all apps and connections, not just in Safari. The ability to choose from multiple DNS providers or add custom rules makes it incredibly flexible, whether you’re focused on privacy, security, or performance. Unlike some other blockers, AdGuard Pro works reliably within iOS restrictions while offering a smooth experience with minimal battery impact. It’s a must-have for anyone looking to enhance their browsing experience and overall device privacy. Highly recommended!

  2. 5/5Power-User Features

    This is the most comprehensive ad/tracker blocking solution I’ve ever used (I’ve used many other “content blockers”... WeBlock comes close but lacks some of AdGuard Pro’s key features) The ability to choose from a variety of block lists has proved to be very useful. I found the best combo of lists for my needs after a day or two of internet use. The system-wide privacy module is great as well (the VPN feature). I’ve only enabled the three suggested hosts lists (might be overkill) and I notice that many of my apps now exclude ads (like banner ads in Pandora, Speedtest, and games). Best of all is the ability to see the log of what connections my device has been making in order to diagnose which additional ad/tracker connections I want to block. It’s also great just to see how many trackers I’m avoiding now! I’ve been told trackers slow down overall load times so that’s a major plus. Only downside for me is with the speed of the custom DNS service choices (which isn’t AdGuard’s fault). I was really hoping the Google DNS or OpenDNS services would help with response times, but I’ve found that sticking to the default system DNS option yields the fastest page response times, so I don’t use this feature. Overall an amazingly feature-rich application which I couldn’t live without on both my iPhone and Mac! Highly recommend.

  3. 5/5Adguard Pro

    I had been using Adblock by Futuremind before I have had a chance to find out about this one. Be honest with you, I have never had any issues with the Adlock, and it was working like charm, till I get to try it with a Vpn connection. For some reasons I needed to use a Vpn, and once I did it, the Adblock stopped blocking the ads. It was kinda annoying. Adguard Pro has so far coped with my expectations. I haven't seen any app I currently use has any ads in them. Even if I connect to a Vpn server. So far, I am really impressed by the developers work. I hope that the team is gonna keep up with their hard work in the future as well. I suggest this adblocker to anyone who wants to have a reliable adblocking app which blocks Safari and in Apps ads, and wants to use it even when they are connected to a Vpn network.

  4. 1/5Terrible Software - Either Works Too or Not At All

    I expected to install this app, enable it, and have intrusive ads reduced in number. On one particular page that was flooded with ads, there was zero change in the number of pop-ups and banner ads after installing and enabling the app in Safari. I attempted to individually block these elements only to have them come back once I'd gone through the laborious process of switching from safari to the app, then back to safari, then refreshing the page. I then made sure that all the content blockers for Adguard were enabled only to NOT BE BLE TO LOAD THE PAGE AT ALL. I determined that this was due to the "Adguard Pro - Other" content blocker. There is, apparently, no way to see what rules are part of that list. Even with all other blockers enabled, all of the ads still appear. This app is not only useless for the purpose I purchased it for, the interface is infuriating. There is no reason I should have to switch between apps when manually locking an element (that doesn't even remain blocked anyway.)

  5. 5/5AdGuard Pro is a top-tier app that excels across every key aspect.

    Usability is seamless, with an intuitive interface that makes setup and daily use effortless, even for less tech-savvy users. Performance is outstanding, effectively blocking ads, trackers, and unwanted content in real time without slowing down browsing or draining battery. The Design is clean, modern, and functional, with clear menus and thoughtful layouts that enhance the user experience. When it comes to Features, it goes beyond simple ad-blocking with DNS filtering, privacy protection, and customizable rules, offering exceptional control over your online environment. Finally, the Value is excellent, providing premium capabilities and robust protection at a price that feels more than justified. AdGuard Pro is a must-have for anyone serious about privacy and a smooth, clutter-free internet experience.

Versions

  • 4.4.4

    In this version we’ve updated the filter libraries and fixed the YouTube player on iOS 16. Now you can watch videos ad-free right in the AdGuard app. To do this, tap “Share” in the YouTube app, tap “More”, and select “Block ads on YouTube (by AdGuard)“.

  • 4.4.5

    In this version we've significantly updated our DNS filtering library — DnsLibs — so it consumes less resources and runs faster. Besides, the DNS-over-QUIC protocol implementation now supports RFC 9250 (proposed standard), and the experimental status was removed from DoQ support. Finally, we've updated our Safari rules engine and fixed a couple of bugs.

  • 4.4.6

    Spring is the time for renewal, and AdGuard products are no exception. We've updated all the libraries used in the app and improved the UI, so now AdGuard for iOS runs smoother and is more user-friendly. Advanced blocking rules acceleration The Advanced Protection feature is something we're proud of and what sets us apart from other content blockers on iOS. With this module, AdGuard for iOS can apply advanced filtering rules that supplement standard Safari content blocking rules and help effectively tackle complex and encrypted ads. However, due to the peculiarities of iOS, the *Advanced Protection* feature’s operation was always limited compared to other versions of AdGuard. For example, some rules applied noticeably later than page load. Sometimes this led to ad "flickering" as it was only hidden after page loading. In other cases, this even prevented certain ads from being blocked. When preparing the new version of AdGuard for iOS, we put in a lot of effort into speeding up the implementation of advanced blocking rules which directly improved the overall app performance. We hope you'll notice the difference. Native support for the :has() pseudo-class With Safari v16.4, content blockers gained the capability to select elements for hiding using the :has() pseudo-class. While this might sound complex and confusing, it's essential to know that this feature is incredibly important to us. It allows for the selection of ad blocks based on their content. Until AdGuard v4.4.6 for iOS, support for the :has() pseudo-class was implemented as part of the Advanced Protection module, available only in paid version. Now, this functionality is available to all AdGuard for iOS users!

  • 4.5

    This is a technical update aimed to increase the app stability and fix minor bugs.

  • 4.5.1

    Fixed an issue on iOS 17 where filters would just update endlessly without actually updating. While we were trying to get to the root of the problem we discovered that it was caused by a bug in iOS itself (content blocker’s crash). It took us a lot of time and effort, but we managed to find a workaround and fix the problem — you can learn more about our solution from AdGuard blog. Also, we updated the dependencies of three components that are essential for efficient blocking: SafariConverterLib, Scriptlets, and TSUrlFilter. Lastly, we reworked DnsLibs (our DNS filtering engine), which significantly improved DNS-over-HTTPS/3 stability, and implemented some other fixes for the app’s better performance.

  • 4.5.10

    This is a technical update aimed to increase the app stability and fix minor bugs.

  • 4.5.11

    This version improves filtering speed and compatibility with the latest filtering rules, delivering more precise and reliable ad blocking. We’ve also adapted to recent changes on YouTube, so you can once again watch streams ad-free in AdGuard’s video browser.

  • 4.5.12

    This release brings an updated SafariConverterLib. Rules now load in Safari up to five times faster, and advanced rules are applied more efficiently. Converting rules and enabling filters are now quicker and smoother than ever.

  • 4.5.13

    A small bug has crept into the release. That’s why we’re publishing a hotfix today: so you can enjoy the service, and we can get on with some bigger tasks.

  • 4.5.14

    “Dear developers, can we get a bugfix pronto?” Of course you can! Right after the release, we serve you a hotfix with a resolved problem and fine-tuned operation.

  • 4.5.15

    This update focuses on what matters most: privacy and filtering quality. We’ve added post-quantum cryptography support to DNS (for DoH, DoT, and DoQ) and updated SafariConverterLib to unlock new filtering capabilities and improve rule handling behind the scenes.

  • 4.5.16

    The app now runs more smoothly thanks to this minor update, which fixes a number of bugs.

  • 4.5.17

    The app now runs more smoothly thanks to this minor update, which fixes a number of bugs.

  • 4.5.18

    This is a technical update aimed to increase the app stability and fix minor bugs.

  • 4.5.19

    We’ve improved DnsLibs, our DNS filtering engine, to ensure more stable and reliable DNS protection.

  • 4.5.2

    In this version, we’ve added HTTP basic authentication for DNS-over-HTTPS. This is useful if you have your own DNS server and don’t want someone else to use it. There is a nuance, though: there are not many DNS servers that support this feature right now. But soon they’ll become available in AdGuard Home and AdGuard DNS, so stay tuned! Besides, we’ve fixed minor bugs and updated DnsLibs and Scriptlets.

  • 4.5.20

    Filters power your ad blocking — but they need fresh updates to stay strong. This release adds reminders to always keep them up-to-date, effortlessly.

  • 4.5.21 · 1 Jul 2026

    This is a technical update aimed to increase the app stability and fix minor bugs.

  • 4.5.3

    Important improvements for the DNS protection feature: no more DNS leaks and connection instability when changing networks. Updated libraries that are essential for the app’s performance: DnsLibs, TSUrlFilter and Scriptlets. > Starting with this version, AdGuard for iOS supports only iOS 13 or later.

  • 4.5.4

    The app now runs more smoothly thanks to this minor update, which fixes a number of bugs.

  • 4.5.5

    With Apple fixing its iOS 17 bug that was limiting the number of Safari content-blocking rules, we removed our temporary workaround for that problem. In short, that means you can finally enable a large number of filters without them crashing, thanks to the fact that all of the 900K rules are available again. Please note that for this fix to work you need to update to the latest iOS (but if you are using iOS 16 and below, this bug doesn’t affect you). Also, we updated Scriptlets — one of the essential libraries needed for the app’s performance.

  • 4.5.6

    This update brings a bit of style: iOS 18 introduced customizable app icons, so now they’re available for the AdGuard app as well. To stay true to the branding, we added our own versions for Light, Dark, and Tinted icons instead of just relying on iOS-generated ones.

  • 4.5.7

    Ad-free YouTube has returned: we have fixed an issue on iOS 18 that prevented videos from being shared to AdGuard’s internal ad-free browser.

  • 4.5.8

    This update is just a chill guy that makes the app up to 30x faster. We did some work on Safari Converter, so now AdGuard filtering rules are converted to Safari rules in just 0.5–2 seconds instead of 10–30. You will notice the difference especially when updating, enabling, or disabling filters and turning protection on.

  • 4.5.9

    This is a technical update aimed to increase the app stability and fix minor bugs.
