    Just run your phone through a free private DNS server and never see an ad again. I use dns.adguard.com.

    None of my free apps show any ads on my phone.

      I do this. But I would still like to pay the dev. Just not those prices,

        There’s also the ad removal option for 20$ one time. If you don’t need the other features of ultra.

      I mean sure, but that doesn’t support the hard work the developer or into this… So…

          Those donation buttons, rarely ever get used. Because everyone would rather just think that everyone else donated so it’s fine if they don’t. And sure, some do donate (I’ve donated before) but that’s the actions of the very few.

      I do that too on my Samsung phone. Do you know a way to do it on iPhone?

        You either need to set the DNS in your phone settings somewhere or route all traffic through a VPN (should be a setting somewhere too). You can then use a VPN where you can set the DNS. I use tailscale for this

        Nextdns.io works well, and lets you customize tons of features. Alternatively, you can run a pihole on pretty much any spare computer to work as an home adblocker. You can also route up to an adblocking dns with it to double up.

        You want to get extra wild, setup a wireguard vpn server at home after that, and have your phone auto connect to it when you leave your home wifi.

        No more ads ever.
