The leading iPhone/iPad ad blocker app was just taken down by its author out of "guilt" for blocking the ads that bring in income to the authors of the apps where the ads were bing blocked. He is so mortified he is suggesting buyers of his app request refunds from Apple. Why doesn't he just suggest that authors of these Apps step up and charge a nominal fee for their apps? He was. — PING!

Thanks to Amigatec for the heads up on this story.


Apple allowing ad blocking causes extreme
angst in ad block app author
so he pulls his app!
Ping!

I am currently running 2 Ad Blockers on my iPad Air, my iPhone 5c will not run them it is to slow. It takes a 5s or above to run them.

I will be picking up a 6s+ next week.

The real problem here is you are paying for the bandwidth these ads use up. Heck they should be paying me for wasting my time and bandwidth.

I understand that advertising pays the way but some sites are obnoxious about it. The daily caller is one that comes to mind. And the people that put videos that run automatically should be taken out and shot.
