Crystal Adblock – Block unwanted ads! 应用的评论

cant believe i paid money for this. it does nothing

Blocks every single website now

This app not only did not function as Malware, it installed “X” on my iphone. Ingregious and repetitive ads sold and promoted by Google were and-are—continuous. This app is a rip-off!

Avoid. The developer hasn’t supported this app in many years. Doesn’t stop anything anymore. Complete waste.

UPDATE: I no longer recommend Crystal at all. It has been abandoned for many years. Likely it was abandoned immediately after it was created. The block list is ancient to the point of being irrelevant. Every single ad I reported to the developer since the app was released years ago never got added to the blocklist. Any updates to the blocklist provided since release have long since stopped years ago. The final release of the app merely added an "acceptable ads" feature: that is, enabling even more ads to get through its already weak defenses.

Worked fine and still blocked most ads for me. The n the last few weeks it stops working on Google search (prevents me from searching and blocks the click through url)

Was good while it lasted. Looks like the app and website have been abandoned

Years ago, when this app was first introduced, it worked. It hasn't worked correctly the last 2 years that I have tried using it. No updates, nothing. A forgotten app.

Does NOT block enough ads. There’s an option for “acceptable ads” but it disregards the setting as Google ads always seem to bypass this option. Please add adblocking within apps.

If you already had this app installed years back it will still work. However, if you try to open it to change setting (add to the white list, for example) or open it for the first time the app will crash.

The app doesn’t load, or block ads anymore

This app, for all intents and purposes, seems to be abandoned. Do not use it. I regret paying the developer money for this app

Old review: This app works great on my iPhone 6. But I found out the hard way that it's not compatible with my iPad 3 retina. The iPad three is just three years old but already a lot of designers are completely forgetting about backwards compatibility seem to ignore a lot of devices.

Several years ago, during the initial Apple-promoted campaign to combat intrusive tracking across the web, is when Crystal got most of its users (and money). After the initial boost the money leveled off, so this content blocker had started whitelisting large advertisers— selling out its customers.

Its not blocking anything specially on YouTube.

Do not bother with this, get Adblock or AdGuard -- both are better even if you get the free version. Does not block obnoxious ads on Ars Technica which move the page content when they show randomly, reported but they are still shown. Does not block ads on adult sites. Allows "acceptable" ads (for me none of them are). Does not block skimresources.com link tracking and monetization, things like Google abalytics, syndication and Outbrain still store data in your browser and track you. Same goes for Facebook tracking, ads on Twitter, etc. Simply put, it's not even worth those 0.99$ when you can have better blocking for free.

This blocker works for me! After installation I pulled up 4 sites that had the most obnoxious flashing ads, and they’re gone! To me worth 10 times the price.

It doesn't block everything yet but it has removed a great majority of them and has a nifty report website feature so they may review and add. 5 stars for now! Will re-review in ten days to give them time to review my corrections. Update 1: False advertising... He accepts money to let ads through. Funny how this was conveniently left out or just as bad, buried in the TOS. It's cool that you want the help the publishers, but at the cost of lying to your consumers. Be honest from the get go and you'll have a few less buyers, but very happy customers. I know I'll never see a refund, but I'd never have bought this app if I knew earlier Update 2: the app is abandoned. DO NOT PURCHASE

As of July 7, 2019 the app has not been updated in two years. Should be removed from the App Store

It works!!!!!!

Worked well once upon a time then developer stopped caring at all. Last update was two years ago. App no longer blocks the most basic ads. Current status: Garbage that should be removed from the App Store.

Been using it since it first came out. I downloaded AdBlockPlus and Purify as well, stuck out with Crystal since that is the only one that still worked after a year. Today, in mid 2019, Crystal still works. I don’t know what other people are doing that they think it isn’t working. I expect ignorance.

It doesn’t work anymore.

Paid for app. Ads still ALL over the place. Why?????

Don’t buy doesn’t block any ads

Doesn’t do jack. Wasted time, energy and money

The Ads Are Spyware Such As AdMob And Applovin’ NOT Adware. Plus, I Am NOT Giving The Spies $50+ Cash.

This app does not do at all what it said it would. I downloaded it because it was recommended to me by another creator but it was just 💩 in the end. I didn't even bother looking at the reviews cuz I was just thinking, "Well this app had to have been recommended to me for a reason.🤷🏻‍♀️" But nope, this app was just a heavy load of 💩. I wish I would have spent my dollar a bit more wisely. But oh well, my own fault, I guess. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Pathetic site…shoulda bought a Beer instead!

Sad!

This app still works great for me - it blocks all ads on all sites, and doesn’t break any sites.

The app worked great but beware . . It will mess up your settings on any apple phone! Still can’t get one of my emails even though I deleted it!

Works very well for me.

No update for iPhone x and forward. Loved the app but there has not been an update in so long

Was great, and was actually featured as the best adblocker when apple announced support for adblocking a couple years ago, but it doesn’t seem to ever be updated, letting ads come through, while still getting me blocked from certain sites until I disable the service. Don’t spend your money here

No longer being updated...

no more update don’t buy

I bought this expecting it to be a waste of money and it was only half a waste because it only does about half its job. The non-intrusive ads are still there even when the option to block them is “on”; but the tab changing ads are, in fact, reduced but not fully extinct. I kept this app to see how well it does in the future hoping my $.99 was enough to keep the ball rolling for these people to make a better product for us all. Only time will tell now.

Crystal worked very well until about 6 months ago, when I started noticing it breaking websites. I reported it repeatedly using Crystal’s built-in tools, but nothing ever got fixed. I think the developer has moved on, so I will too.

So, this app worked great when it first came out but the blocklist hasn’t been updated in ages nor the app... I am starting to see ads and that is no bueno. I would check out another app for your money.

I had so much trouble even opening the app! The app just crashes on my iPhone and is really buggy. It sometimes doesn’t even block ads. I want my money back, this isn’t worth my dollar

Finally found a blocker that rids my life of revcontent and taboola. Thank you.

I had to go to a site to do homework and these AMAZON ADS WOULD NOT STOP BOTHERING! But now they are all gone :) and my homework is completed

I purchased crystal with one objective in mind. To get rid of ad choices on my iPhone when using Safari. It does not work

This so called blocker does not block anything it is a total waste

There are a number of recent reviews here saying Crystal stopped working, and indeed I confess I came back here because a site I regularly visit had become littered with ads where not long ago there were none. On a whim I disabled Crystal under Safari settings, restart Safari, then reenabled Crystal and restarted Safari and all the ads were gone. FWIW.

Seems to have diminishing capacity. Fewer and fewer sites are blocked since first installed. Also difficulties after updating software on iPad.

Not doing what I thought it would do, block adds. Adds are still getting through.

Nothing blocked as far as I can tell. Web browsing on my iPhone is literally impossible.
