Comments on Control D Quick Setup for Android

★★★★★ Jason Brooker · Oct 4, 2025

🛡️ Control D is a privacy powerhouse! It’s like a DNS firewall with superpowers—block trackers, ads, malware, and even time-wasting sites with surgical precision. 🧠🚫 You can customize filters, route traffic through VPN nodes, and even set per-device rules. Perfect for geeks who want total control without compromising speed. ⚡🔧💻

This is incredible for older devices that don't have Private DNS option. Also, the app practically has no drain on battery life. Great job guys. However, there's still that issue of losing Internet connection when phone goes to sleep. Which can be rectified by stopping and restarting, but it's still an annoyance. Look into Intra app by Jigsaw. Compare app sizes too. Apart from that, can we have it on Android TV too please. Sideloading the phone app works but still needs a mouse for navigation.

Love ControlD, works for all my devices and blocks a lot of stuff!!

★★★★★ Jaco Coetzee · Oct 16, 2024

For the first time since being Ransomware, I feel safe surfing the internet and opening mails on the go. Also, the kids not being able to tamper with the settings is a game-changer. I have it downloaded to my pc and next will be my home network to stop teens accessing sites they have no business being on.

Won't allow testing of redirection in the Trial - I tried to set a location in the profile, and it asked me to upgrade immediately. If I can't even test a location, how would I know that the redirection is working! What a shame.

Got hacked and taken over within minutes of dl of play store now used to harassment and as part of malware utilities

★★☆☆☆ William Wynn · Apr 25, 2025

Unfortunately this app causes my network to completely stop working after about 30 mins. No amount of disabling battery saver settings helps. But control. D as a service works great. I use the "Private DNS" setting in my phone, and it's perfect. The only reason I'd like the app is so that it works better with Wi-Fi portals and disables on my home Wi-Fi, but I can survive without that.
