    How does Blockr deal with the white space left by banner ads like here?

    Keep in mind I'm only using it for a couple of hours, but it seems to remove the ad and then replace it with the same colour as the site back ground if that makes sense? See the images here, it's same as Adblock and Adblock+ on chrome.

    Running safari on an iPhone with an ad-blocker is crazy fast now. Sites load up almost instantly. It's mad just how much bandwidth was taken up by ads.

    So....... some issues. I updated to iOS9 last night and I'm having some issues with the new Notes app. For some reason, The new features (drawing, check lists etc etc) are only restricted to my iCloud folder. All of the other folders associated with my other email accounts don't allow these. Why? Also, why are notes associated with email accounts? I've tried to create a new folder but it automatically goes under my iCloud account and I can't move it.

    The new features in Notes require the iCloud backend. Traditional note syncing uses IMAP which is pretty slow and restricted.

    Update took forever last night but phone seems faster since.

    Couple of things, i downloaded crystal and enabled the content blocker in settings, i am still seeing ads on boards for example, is this right or am i just misunderstanding what this app should do?

    Also the icloud drive app, says i have zero files and 13.3gb remaining, any way to see the files taking up 6.7gb?

    What phone are you using. I'm using crystal on a 6 and no ads appear on boards now. iCloud Drive doesn't show backups. I'd imagine that's what is taking up the space.

    Your iCloud backups or iCloud Photo Library?

    I had to close Safari and reopen before Crystal started working

    Really great seeing a lot of apps supporting split view. Currently reading boards and Twitter at the same time :-)

    They have updated the iCloud tiers now, I was on the 20GB PM so it should be upgraded to the 50GB but it's still showing the space remaining for the 20GB anybody know why this is ? Or will it update after the next bill cycle?

    I'm in the same boat but my 20gb plan doesn't expire until next year. I think manually choosing 50gb is a bit more expensive.

    Using the 6 plus, ive closed safari but i still see the adverts that appear in between every couple of posts. Il try restart the phone maybe.

    Yea maybe the back l ups dont show the i just though some apps data at least would appear, so am i right in assuming icloud drive app is just like google drive app to store and view stuff?

    Edit - ok i turned phone off and no joy, then i turned crystal report site on and attempted to report boards to say it isnt working and it refreshed the app it said and i refreshed safari and long story short it is now working! Looks great with no ads!

    Anyone else seeing a screen orientation issue on iPad Air 2 since the update? In the home (App view) I can't reorientate my screen when I flick from portrait to landscape. If I open an App I can orientate just fine but the screen stays in it's existing rotation once I close the app and go back to the home screen. My iPad soft reset shortly after launch which seemed to fix the issue but I needed to do a Home + Power reset later and the issue reappeared. There is no issue on my old iPad Air.

    In upgrade settings within iCloud 50GB is 99c which is already selected. Do you pay a yearly sub? I only have the option to pay per month.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,495 ✭✭✭✭guil


    I have 20gb for €10.99 per year. It works out less than a euro extra over the year for 50gb but I'm only using about 9gb so there's no point to upgrade yet

    I have an app update available for Crystal so it's probably available again. Apple servers have taken a hit due to iOS 9, it took ages downloading apps for me last night. They're probably still running slow and suffering with issues like that.

    Hi all. I'm running iOS 9.1 public beta. Just wonder is the official iOS 9 out, as I'm not getting a software update?
    Many thanks

    Same with me, no need to upgrade until necessary I suppose. 50GB is a great updgrade for basically the same price. I don't see myself even needing above 20GB for a long time.

    Hmmm, I've set my Region to UK and I'm still not seeing the News app. I did a hard restart on the phone too.

    Yep, I was paying £7.49 a year. The new price for 50gb is 79p a month so it's a bit more expensive. I'm only using 12gb so no hurry to upgrade.

    Try just turning off the phone and then on again. It should appear as the last app on your last page.
