But users seem to be uninstalling it from their devices en masse lately.

The reason behind this is that Apple doesnt allow auto-upgrades for apps by the same developer.

Their main gripe is that the developers never pushed updates for the legacy versions tracker list.

They announced a new version rather abruptly without any prior notice.

The old version gave me decent iOSSafari adblocking for more than 2 years.

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.

I figure 4.99 isnt that bad, and its way better than some apps adopting the revolting subscription model (looking at you, Drafts) that simply overcharges (no, Im not falling for that cheaper than a cup of coffee excuse, tyvm) beyond belief.

Perhaps the devs could offer discounts to users who purchased in the last 6 months or something, though I have no idea if Apple lets them implement such things or not.

But ignoring the legacy version that became legacy overnight wasnt such a good idea.

If you continue to use this site we will assume that you are happy with it.
