Ratings and reviews

Not connecting automatically since about a week ago. It was so reliable that I forgot that I had it installed but about a week ago, I could not connect to the internet and discovered that my WiFi had an error saying it could not connect to private DNS server. Once I remembered about DNS Switcher, I had to reconfigure it and since then, I have to do this more than once per day so a bit disappointed that my purchase only lasted a few months before it broke.

Not useful for me and refund was refused unrightfully. The app works but doesn't read current dns nor permit to switch with a custom dns list (only one custom entry saved), in addition it doesn't use the implementation secure.settings but only adb and require clicking "connect" at each launch (no automation). Bottom line, it doesn't bring a lot vs just using the free apps setedit and private dns quick tile from fdroid.

Easy to install and activate. Apps that had suddenly become virtually unusable due to forced adverts that kept freezing on my Nvidia Shield Pro have now got a new lease of life. The one off price of £1.99 is also very reasonable (not even the price of a cup of coffee these days). TDUK is one of the most respected tech advisors around and so for him to create this app makes it a no brainer to install if, like me, you hate having your viewing experience ruined by annoying adds.
