Ratings and Reviews
Updated are not forthcoming
Hello. Since you don’t have any option to contact you via your website, I’m writing on this platform. I see you have a whole list of updates but they do not contain any information as to what was rue updates contained or improved on. The explanation says nothing, just general small updates here. Minor update there. Your team is relatively new with this being your second app and it being the first one in some thing that everybody uses, i.e. Safari. Therefore, your reputation has not been established I know I do not trust simply just because you say you don’t collect any information. It’s something that would have been earn, and with the fact that you’re being so completely vague about what each update includes that doesn’t look good. Perhaps you can be transparent. Thank you. I will change this review once communication improves and safety becomes obvious as a primary concern.
Developer Response ,
Hello Mr. Perfect, thanks for your feedback!
My team is actually just me, a single independent developer.
Regarding the data collected: Apple explicitly asks developers to inform what is or isn't collected by the application and its components. In the case of Bolt, as indicated on the AppStore page, nothing is collected: neither concerning the device nor concerning the user.
And for updates: it's about keeping the code up to date with what Apple offers over time. The last one, for example, has significantly reduced the size of the application on the AppStore.
I will try to give more details when possible (when it's not just technical). Especially for a future big update that I am considering in the coming weeks ;)
Thank you
I am always skeptical about ad blockers because a lot don’t work. I like how you don’t seem to be part of a team or corporation. This ad blocker works like it’s developed to and I like how it’s simplistic and almost “underdeveloped”. Makes me trust that you work on the things that matter and not to make the app pretty. Thanks.

Hello ww2 plane flyer, thanks for your feedback, appreciated!
Blocks Some Ads and Privacy Concerns
While the main portion of the app blocks some ads, there are some that get through. Using the plus portion of the app raises far to many privacy concerns however. The use of the their DNS does not discuss data logging via the server connection. So while the developer claims privacy is in place there’s simply no proof of that when it comes to the subscription based side of things. And asking about it leaves a lot to be desired as you’ll get no real response just a candid “it works like nextdns” which is simply not the case. The app is super light weight, which is a major plus, and works faster than most Adblockers on the market. It’s the privacy concerns via their “plus” portion that leaves far to many questions to continue to use their application as a daily driver unfortunately.
Application updated, still has privacy issues with the “plus” portion. Still do not recommend using this application. The developer clearly collects data via the paid portion of the application. Their DNS settings are not secure.
