Wipr used to be great to block ads and now it barely is functional. No updates and told to pay for a new app when Wipr 1 was already paid for .

Doesn’t block YouTube anymore and now there’s Wipr 2 which is a separate purchase? Screw everyone who already paid for this I guess stick with free adblockers.

So just forget us that just recently bought Wipr 1, no u want me to order 2. I can barley afford 1, please dont tell me all the adds that are starting to come back has anything to do with this

What does Wipr 2 offer new? Why do I need to purchase again? Why not just keep updating this?

I’m not sure how they can release Wipr 2 meanwhile the original Wipr app hasn’t been able to block YouTube ads reliably for the past year.

Single best app I’ve ever paid for. I forgot all about this until Wipr too just came out. I paid a few dollars for this years ago and have not seen one ad on Safari.

This is one of the best Adblock apps I have tested. It blocks effectively with our consuming excessive system resources. However, the app claims it will automatically update if you enable the setting. It DOES NOT auto refresh. After validating the proper configuration and running the app for 1 year, I can confirm the auto refresh claim is inaccurate. The user needs to remember to manually update the app. Who has time for that?! No one, nor should the consumer be required to check for feed updates for such an application. If the developer is going to claim a feature such as Auto Update, it should deliver as claimed. Other than the Auto Update problem, this is an excellent app. I wish the developer would fix the auto update problem on both iOS and MacOS.

I rarely write reviews for apps, but I’ve been using Wipr for *years* on macOS and iOS and had to make an exception. It does what is says on the tin—in addition to privacy benefits, it dramatically improves the performance of most webpages, simply by not downloading and executing worthless JavaScript. No doubt it’s saved terabytes in bandwidth and many, many kilowatts of electricity. In no uncertain terms: Wipr makes the web usable. Wipr also encouraged me to look more closely at other leaks in my household’s digital footprint—I’ve since spun up a PiHole to block tracking in other native/embedded apps, and to provide our friends and guests the same “quiet” internet experience that Wipr has given me. Thank you, Kaylee! 💞

Even with every option on, you still get ads. Not worth the purchase when there is better stuff on GitHub

Both Mac and iOS versions could have a few more options or settings but the app is very religiously updated so I can’t complain, the price is justified for the continued support I think. A few more options or settings would be nice regardless. Unfortunately, this version for Mac is just not as effective as the iOS version in general it seems. Wipr on my phone immediately blocks YouTube ads with no hitches and seems to clear anything and everything ad related from popping up there. On Mac though, YouTube does detect it and so Wipr is ineffective with YouTube there, not to mention I just see a lot more ads in general when using Wipr here. Kinda disappointing considering how good iOS version is but its still decent I guess…
