1. 4/5Not sure how this is different…

   Wipr is one of the more effective content blockers on the App Store and it gets there without the user having to spend 20 minutes flipping various settings on and off to see what works, which is a real positive. The problem is I’m not sure how Wipr 2 is different from the original. I get that sometimes you want to do a complete rewrite, but this one doesn’t feel like it was necessary from the customer’s perspective and I’m a bit disappointed that there aren’t more apparent improvements to justify the price. A major feature the original was missing that this is also missing is the ability to not filter on certain sites. The functionality in Safari to turn off content blockers on a site isn’t reliable and randomly turns back on.

2. 5/5The BEST Ad Blocker

   I have been using Wipr for a while now, as soon as I got news of a new version of it, I had to buy it and test it out to see how it held up to its predecessor, and I will say.. this is the best ad blocker I have ever used. I have performed a series of tests with ad blocker testers to see the filtration list and how it holds up, and it has performed beautifully, it has filtered everything in this complex test, but let’s be honest.. the user wants to know how it performs on day to day use, I read articles and watch videos on the web constantly, I have not been interrupted with advertisers spamming me with junk that consumes my data and makes pages hideous, instead, I have had a fast, beautiful pleasant experience on every single website I have visited. I usually find myself dreading reading an article and having to just put it in Reader Mode to remove all the clutter but now I can enjoy pages without any worries. What about videos though? Well.. I haven’t seen a single advert pushed down through any of the services I consume media on, that you may likely find yourself using. I have even gone through foreign sites and have had a pleasant experience with them with again, no adverts. What about battery? Extensions CAN be resource intensive, this one is not that. You will find yourself not only having what I would say to be the best experience on the web with the WebKit engine that is super light and efficient and arguably in my opinion stronger than that of Blink or Gecko, and with a very light and easy to install ad blocker that beats out the rest. This is an essential if you are a frequent browser on the Safari browser. 5/5 Stars.

3. 4/5Excellent but still missing Auto-update

   We have been an advocate and supporter of Wipr since the previous version. The latest version offers and improved user interface and user experience, while still maintaining a simple implementation process. When the application is up-to-date with the latest definitions, it performs very well against all of our testing to block various web, browsing, annoyances, cookies, and other elements. Unfortunately, when closed the application still does not automatically update behind the scenes for the user. The user must keep the application open for updates to transpire, which means the user must remember to update the application’s definitions. This auto-update failure is the only shortcoming that we observe. Otherwise, this is an excellent application and highly recommendable.

4. 5/5Best bang for your buck

   I hardly write app reviews and I really will never pay for an app. However this came across my suggested and I noticed an immediate change and I’m very impressed. You can browse through all of your typical sites and if anything tries to take you to another site, “wipr” immediately takes you out and takes you back to your original site. This is a blessing within an app, and the developer has been so generous to make the app very user friendly and simple. Posted throughout the app are help links and any other information the developer felt would be helpful to the users. Overall I’d give this app a 10/5 if I could but it gets a 5/5 due to the limit of star ratings. Very worth your one time payment

5. 5/5Todd Cameron

   Unlike so many others, you can tell the author uses apps all the time. Very locked in on what makes apps/ programs truly useful. A big part of that is not allowing advertisers to interfere in the enjoyment of using the software she created when it is used. This takes WISDOM, not intelligence. At times I think there are about as many technically motivated programmers in the world as there are fire ants. Unlike those programmers, who seem to be everywhere, programmers who develop software that truly is an excellent and non-annoying application are worth getting to know, they are rare. Any developer that tells you how fast he/ she can have your program done and trouble free in only a few short days or weeks - has a team of dozens of talented designers OR, likely is starting on a template framework being adapted to what the developer perceives the needs to be met for the client. Many developers think they can make even more money by including numerous ads for other software titles. That theory works as well as going knocking on doors during the championship game. They will be home, but want to talk to a salesman about as much as shaving their head with a butter knife while chewing on tinfoil. Knowing how to address a customers needs takes plenty of smarts. Knowing how and when to sell your software to them at the best possible time takes wisdom. Go with wisdom every time.
