Stopped working with the latest forced ads update. Numerous apps work without network connection regardless of GDPR and dont require always online. Ad blocking is recommended by the FBI for good reason.

GDPR legislation requires collecting user's consent and it isn't possible without a network connection. Of course you can deny your consent and in that case you will receive non personalised ads, but blocking ads in a free app is a bad behavior.

The app is great and I have used it for some years now! however, latest version(1.9.6) did not work on any of my Android phones. The problem was that + and - buttons did not work at all making the app completely unusable. Other UI elements seemed to work OK. Downgraded to previous version and it's working again. Edit: network had an adblocker, remember to disable those to get the app working and support the developer!

GDPR regulation requires collecting user consent and it is not possible to do this without a network connection. Make sure there are no restrictions on your device (e.g. vpn, private DNS, ad blocker). Of course you can deny your consent and in that case you will receive non personalised ads but blocking ads in a free app is bad behavior.

With this last update any button refuses to work. They appear to have implemented blocking of anti tracking. App will not function unless you allow tracking ads. edit to response to dev: I have net connection idiot, and your app did not ask for GDPR consent. Final Edit: 22/04/24 - moving to ooni app. latest update is proof dev made those changes on purpose and lied about it. how can you trust such dishonest actions.
