iOS 9 adblockers?

Post by marchone » Fri Sep 18, 2015 5:46 pm

Every one I can find in the App Store generates this window:

"This app is not compatible with your device"

I have an iPhone 5. It seems all adblock apps have been disabled. Any thoughts from the tech savvy here?

You need a 64bit iPhone.

I have to find the list of devices supported. Found it


"This means all iPod touch models, all iPhones before the iPhone 5s and all iPads before the iPad Air will not be able to install apps where developers have required 64-bit CPUs."

Thanks but that's to me like reading Ancient Greek.

OK. I got an iPad mini 4 today. Any recommendations for an adblocker for it? It seems Apple has removed a couple today due to encryption problems.

Thanks in advance.

I guess that's a "no luck"?

I use Purify, but it's only effective on Safari browsers.

I also have the ProXPN vpn loaded, so I can go anonymous when desired.
