I figure $4.99 isn’t that bad, and it’s way better than some apps adopting the revolting subscription model (looking at you, Drafts) that simply overcharges (no, I’m not falling for that “cheaper than a cup of coffee excuse, tyvm) beyond belief. It also had the ability to allow me to add custom blocking “packages” for specific websites, along with the usual element blocking (still clunky, but probably as good as it can get on iOS) and whitelisting. The old version gave me decent iOS/Safari adblocking for more than 2 years. I’d gladly pay $5 for the 1Blocker X upgrade. If you are looking for an alternative, I would suggest going for Magic Lasso or FireFox Focus, both of which are available for free on the App Store. It’s paid and might be a bit on the expensive for several users, especially for those who still use the legacy version. The new version is definitely worthwhile if you are looking for a powerful native content blocker.
They announced a new version rather “abruptly” without any prior notice.
Moreover, some users who recently purchased the premium version complained that this update could have been shipped for the existing version instead of being implemented in a whole new app.Īs for the developers, they didn’t do a great job of interacting with the users either. Their main gripe is that the developers never pushed updates for the legacy version’s tracker list. Though 1Blocker X is a solid upgrade, the users didn’t take it kindly. The reason behind this is that Apple doesn’t allow auto-upgrades for apps by the same developer. Paid upgrades are considered normal, especially on the iOS App Store. But here the catch – you must pay $4.99 to switch to the new version. The developers behind 1Blocker recently teased a new improved version of their app.ĭubbed 1Blocker X, the advanced version of the old 1Blocker aims to bring better content blocking features to your Apple device.
