AdLock

It requires a million system permissions, installation of its own VPN, and a bunch of other nonsense. In the end, it simply doesn’t work and does nothing. I thought it was just a standard browser extension, but it looks more like some kind of spyware or scam.

The app is rather clunky. Many of the offerings/options found throughout the settings and filters are indecipherable and not well explained (or explained at all). Grammar and spelling issues are common. The premium version for iOS refuses to activate for SetApp subscribers, regardless of following the prescribed protocol.

This app breaks random websites without any notice. If something doesn’t load properly or you are unable to login, turning this off makes the site work again. Somehow the app got corrupted and I couldn’t access the internet anymore until I uninstalled the app completely. The setapp un-installation leaves the network extensions and VPN filters in place so you have to delete them manually. Really a clunky app. Multiple spelling errors and grammar errors in the setup and help information in English, makes me wonder if the app can be trusted.
