Comments on AdShield:Secure DNS & Ad Block for Android

★★★★★ Aiden Carter · Oct 11, 2021
Unlike some ad blocker this one actually works. I have no ads on my games. It is very fair that this game shows to ads. This does not work on YouTube, but it does work on games. This is the perfect ad blocker for your games like ninja hands and others to.
★★★★★ Haha Funny · Aug 5, 2022
It works as intended. Anyone saying that it is bad either chose the wrong DNS or they don't know how to properly use the app. Considering the fact that this is free this is a really good replacement to blockade who recently added a ridiculous paywall to their free ad blocker and calling it "Blockade 6" instead of "Blockade 5."
★★★★★ Shoaib 7676 · Sep 19, 2022
Best ads block app. Facebook ads block. Good DNS serves
★☆☆☆☆ Farish Dansih · Apr 18, 2026
I been using it for a long time on two phone usually. If I were to change phone, I would download this still. But after the new update... every time I opened an app with it, all connection is lost. The app can't be used at all like I have internet issue. After I close the dns, the app work normal without issue again... the main thing was I usually used it to block ads on those apps... the same one I been using at since before... but the new update mess everything up.
★☆☆☆☆ David Mejias · Aug 28, 2021
It sucks it changed my DNS where I wasn't able to have any connection and its ad blocker wasn't all that as well
★☆☆☆☆ Unspeakable Experiments · Sep 28, 2022
This app worked only for a brief time -- and then the ads started popping up left and right. Not a very good ad blocker whatsoever. And all the "positive" reviews must be fake, because this app didn't even survive the night, before I quickly uninstalled it.
