Summary

Recurring issues include the app failing to block ads on Safari and YouTube, causing performance slowdowns, crashes, increased battery consumption, and even slower WiFi. Furthermore, users express frustration over non-existent customer service, misleading pricing, difficulty canceling subscriptions, and, in some cases, privacy concerns regarding data manipulation.
