About this app

Phone Guardian is an ad-blocking app that blocks the web ads shown on your phone — all at once. On web pages viewed in your browser or inside apps, it hides annoying ads, persistent banners, full-screen ads that cover the page after a few seconds, self-opening pop-ups, adult ads, and fake alerts (fake virus warnings, prize scams and more). Ads are blocked right at the doorway (DNS) before they even load, so your usual browser keeps working exactly as before.

■ EASY FOR EVERY GENERATION
No difficult settings. Tap the big button once to start the watch, then leave the rest to the app — your screen becomes clean and easy to read, without ads. Big text and a clear layout mean everyone, from people who find smartphones tricky to seniors, can use it with confidence.

■ POWERS UP AUTOMATICALLY EVERY DAY
New ads appear every day. Phone Guardian automatically receives the latest ad-blocking list every day and keeps up with new ads without any action from you. No manual updates needed. It also patrols news sites around the world daily to discover new ad sources, reacting quickly to new formats such as full-screen ads.

■ SAVES MOBILE DATA, WITH A MONTHLY REPORT
Blocked ads are data you never download, so blocking ads also saves your mobile data. Every month, Phone Guardian reports in plain sentences how many ads it blocked and how much data you saved.

■ MEMORY CLEANER INCLUDED
Stops the apps you are not using and frees up your phone's memory, making a sluggish phone feel light again. The free-memory figures before and after cleaning are shown with a chart, and you can untick the apps you use often to keep them running.

■ DEVICE INFO AT A GLANCE
Device details that usually mean digging through the Settings and system screens can all be checked from Phone Guardian's screen, in one place. No need to hunt through Settings.

■ PRIVACY FIRST
Everything happens on your device. Phone Guardian uses Android's official local-VPN mechanism inside your phone only — it never connects to an outside VPN server, never collects your browsing history, and never sends the contents of your traffic anywhere. The app itself shows zero ads.

■ PRICING
Pay once and it is yours — no monthly fees, no extra charges, no auto-renewal. For the first 3 days you can try every feature for free. One purchase also covers phone upgrades and your other devices with the same Google account. (The one-time price is shown on this store page.)

■ RECOMMENDED IF YOU…
- Want to block ads and banners on websites
- Want to stop full-screen ads and pop-ups that cover the page
- Want fake virus warnings and prize-scam pages gone
- Want ads hidden all at once, with no fiddly setup
- Prefer paying once to a monthly subscription

■ PLEASE NOTE
- Blocking targets ads on web pages. Ads inside apps such as YouTube or games, and members-only ads, are not covered.
- Google ads are intentionally not blocked, to keep normal services working.
- Only one VPN-based app can run at a time.
- Blocking is list-based; no blocker can remove 100% of ads.

Relax and enjoy an ad-free phone. Phone Guardian keeps watch over your phone.
