Lockdown Privacy: AdBlock VPN 4+

Stopped Working In Background..(UPDATE)

UPDATE: I figured out with some trial & error that this app will continue to block trackers in the background but only if you have the VPN “secure tunnel” activated in the app with “background app refresh” turned on. The “Firewall” must also be turned on. If you only have the “firewall” activated but not the VPN “secure tunnel”, it does not seem to block trackers like Facebook that collect data on you while you sleep. I’m adding one star. It would be great if they made the firewall work by itself in the background because I’d rather not use a VPN at home, but I can live with it for now. Overall, I really like this app & company and recommend this product.

1st review:
I’ve been using Lockdown for about six months now. At first, I thought it was amazing. It would block many add trackers like Facebook and Google, even while I slept at night. However, I noticed recently that those trackers stopped showing up in my “tracking log” each morning. “App Background Refresh” is turned on, but it makes no difference. Nothing seems to be getting blocked unless I am actively using my phone. This is a big concern, and I hope they can figure out what’s going on or I will need to start looking at other options.

Developer Response ,

Hi Mattie Pie, thanks for your reviews and comments. Sorry about the issue you're seeing - the app should definitely continue blocking trackers in both conditions that you described. We can't seem to reproduce the bug that you're describing, can you please reach out to team@lockdownhq.com so we can help you out?

Extreme Design Unique App!

Seems like now Days I am always rushing trying to get somewhere. So I would like to take a moment sit down and talk about this extremely special unique app that protects you myself and our family. People who invented the words Scam Fraud that change their phone number as fast as yes this Developer finds them. I truly thank the Developer for all the Hard work sweat and love that the Developer has done to the coding of this software that protects you myself and our family from fraudulent people who are trying to get our identity to steal money! The Technology is changing every second every minute and every day in fact right now as you read this. That’s why the Developer’s of this 5 Star app keep updating this unique system. So I hope you will download this very unique app and give it a try. Technology is not free wish like you it was not, but if you want to use something everyday and keep it you will find it cost! Well time for me to move on as they say, but Thanks Developer’s for putting the special love into your App I truly truly Thank You and I can’t help but tip my Hat to you Guys! Thanks

Caregiver

Here's the thing: I'm a caregiver to both my elderly parents and sometimes I need to just get away or destress. I love coloring by number and I have a couple apps I like and would love to just start coloring and lose myself for a few minutes. What I don't like is ads constantly interrupting me while I do this, so here comes Lockdown Yayyyy!!!! I was so excited when I found this app and so appreciate how it blocks ads on my iPhone and on the internet. This app is so needed on everyone's phone in my opinion. So thank you so much Lockdown for a beautiful much needed app😬!

2nd Review:
I still think Lockdown is a 5 star because nowhere in AppStore have I found anything that will do what lockdown does! I realize that it is not cheap making or updating an app like this but at this time I cannot afford a subscription, or at least not an expensive one. I’m a caregiver and it just takes all I make n have to live everyday and care for my parents. But again in my opinion, this is a must on everyone’s phone. Thank you Lockdown for a superb app, for me it is everything 😀!
