Ratings and reviews

Blocks ads on browser, it seems, but not on my email or NY Times app. Caused me some grief by blocking access to an airline app. Took me awhile to figure that out. When I called the airline for help, before that, they had no idea that other apps could interfere. It would make sense, I think to have apps like that allowed by default and save users some grief. Now I have to keep in mind that if I run this app and other apps don't function, to go back to Access as the source of the problem.

This is a great tool to block not only trackers and ads but other annoyances such as videos (as long as they originate from a different web server from the main content). And unlike browser-embedded ad-blocking (e.g. Brave) or ad-blocking add-ons (e.g. uBlock Origin), Fyde blocks apps from tracking you as well. With some tweaking it can also block in-app ads. There are some issues: - As others have noted, Fyde cannot run at the same time as a conventional VPN. You have to make a choice which you want to run at any one time based on your priorities. Also, Fyde is sometimes a bit cranky about restarting after another VPN was used. - Fyde has a tendency to silently crash after running continuously for a few days. You have to check the phone's status line occasionally to make sure it's still running. - When my Verizon Galaxy S9 was upgraded to Android 10, Fyde stopped working. There were many complaints online that this upgrade broke other VPNs too. It turns out Android's new private DNS feature is not compatible with some VPNs. It must be disabled in order for Fyde to work. -

Just installed and uninstalled. Did a security check of phone after installing: no surprises. Was unable to access anything on the web at all while app was installed. This problem went away when app was uninstalled. No special permissons or alterations to base program used. I use my phone 99% of the time on the web. No point of this security if I can't get on the web. Sites attempted to access and blocked: several national newspaper websites, Facebook, medical information websites.
