Working again after a recent update. It works really well, and is completely unobtrusive. You really don't realize it is doing anything until it stops working, and then you can't help but notice the slew of adverts! Great app, many thanks.

After reading the reviews, I was afraid of it destroying my /etc/hosts file, but thankfully it was updated to fix this issue. This is a wonderful tiny app that perfectly demonstrates how easy, compared to Android, is system moddding is on Ubuntu Touch
