Seems to work You have to leave it installed for it to work, and two companies I couldn't opt out of. But it seems to work.
★★★★★
Good app. Good app if you want to restrict only a few ad networks from using your info for targeted ads, but I rather used the 'Opt out of interest based ads' in Google settings to stop all trackers.
★★★★★
Must have for Androids. Blocks data collecting companies. Also add to your desktop Chrome browser extensions.
★★☆☆☆
Useless Didn't stop anything. When you select "off" and when you scroll it will revert back to "on". Don't waste your time.

NEEDS TO BE UPDATED FOR ALL TELEPHONES! I own a Samsung Galaxy Admire 2 and I have to click down a lost of Sites to Opt Out of! That is Very Bad! On the Desktop Version I can Choose All And Be Done With Closeing off all Access of any Site to My Laptop! NOt on The Mobile Application! The Appearance Looks Dated, and the Application shows Signs of Neglect! The Ghostery Application Is Not Maintained but, allowed to Languish Unchecked By The Research and Development Department! The Ghostery Application is Ancient and Confusing to Navigate!
★★☆☆☆
Wont let me opt out of xad and it still wont work either, i still get targeted ads which i hate
