Therefore, you can continue browsing as you used to before, now without the ads. Just download Bolt, launch it once to set it up and activate it. Enjoy a ad-free, lighter and faster web. PRIVACY Bolt is also able to block trackers. Regain privacy when browsing! Not like some other apps, we do NOT collect a single data from you! PERFORMANCE By removing the ads you'll be able to load webpages up to four times faster while reducing your data consumption at the same time. CUSTOM SETTINGS Bolt provides several filter lists. You are able to choose exactly what you want to block: ads, privacy trackers, adult websites, ... UPDATES You are able to retrieve up-to-date filter lists from the application. ----- Bolt+ is an addition to Bolt. It's based on another process that integrates with your entire device (and isn't limited to Safari alone).

A one-time purchase is also available for 24.99$ (price may vary by region). * Privacy policy: https://bolt.lchamp.com/privacy.html * Terms and conditions: https://bolt.lchamp.com/termsandconditions.html ----- If you have any suggestion, don't hesitate to leave a comment on the AppStore!

Love the app, ease of use and and of course the features! Thank you for the updates!! 5 stars!!!
Nice app but others block better
I tried the free app but the guard one works better. So I did not upgrade.
Blocks Some Ads and Privacy Concerns
While the main portion of the app blocks some ads, there are some that get through. Using the plus portion of the app raises far to many privacy concerns however. The use of the their DNS does not discuss data logging via the server connection. So while the developer claims privacy is in place there’s simply no proof of that when it comes to the subscription based side of things. And asking about it leaves a lot to be desired as you’ll get no real response just a candid “it works like nextdns” which is simply not the case. The app is super light weight, which is a major plus, and works faster than most Adblockers on the market. It’s the privacy concerns via their “plus” portion that leaves far to many questions to continue to use their application as a daily driver unfortunately.

Major issue. Only reinstalling Bolt solved it
UPDATED: I am changing this review to five stars only because I don't want to hurt the indie developer, but I did not know any other way to get the developer's attention. It's too bad the developer hasn't thought to allow a feedback form directly to his email within the app. Even if a device is new or old, it should still work. I definitely allowed plenty of time for the filters to update. In fact, it stated there were no updates for the filters when I attempted to update them! So, enabling and enabling the filters on a website, restarting the device, closing Safari and reopening it, signing out of the website and signing back in, and many other things were tried and none of these things worked. The only thing that worked was deleting Bolt entirely and forcing it to update its filters. That finally fixed the issue with the ads on the website. They were once again hidden. This issue DOES need to be looked at more closely by the developer. UPDATED REVIEW: Unfortunately, if I manually disable bolt within Safari and then reenable it, the filters do not reenable. Ads were not blocked until I completely deleted Bolt and reinstalled it. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Almost perfect Almost perfect, but it allows interstitial ads on "can you block it" website test. One problem: there is something that happens sometimes where I cannot get it to enable itself. For example I will have content blockers on and Bolt enabled on a website and yet the ads are still showing. I do not have ads showing in my Apple settings.
