Blokada 5 for Android: Beta (finished)

Under notifications, ‘Activity’ seems to appear twice.

Agreed that under Notifications, Activity is shown twice, however, on my system, only the top/new Activity does anything. The one from previous versions has no affect if it is the only Activity checked. The new one functions as expected, even with the older one unchecked.

One other point… the notification does not update regularly. I have gone as long as 10 or 15 minutes of activity on the web (with ads clearly blocked) but the notification reads the same number as before I began. The same applies to the app itself… when you open it, you can watch as the number of blocks updates (and now the notification will be updated).

On mine I get blokada plus twice placed in the same place where you have the second activity. It obviously is a glitch on the blokada apk. I still am getting it with there new version 5 trial version 5.0.8, I really wish that companies would stop using us as Ginnie pigs and test it on all devices themselves and make it perfect for everyone and then release it personally speaking.

Hi @hurricane007,
You personally decided to test v5. If you’re looking for a stable release just use our latest stable version instead of a Beta. If you’re looking for the latest stable version you can find that here
Blokada is an open source project. It relies on its community. We don’t have the resources necessary to test the application on every device out there (although it would be awesome if we were that big) :slight_smile:
Everyone is invited to contribute at any time

If you’ve any further questions or feedback please let us know

Al configurar aplicaciones para que sean permitidas ver publicidades en ellas (ejemplo crusaders quest o cualquier aplicación que quiera ver una publicidad por un premio) la aplicación sigue anulando la vista de esas publicdades.

When config a apk for bypassed (ej: crusaders quest or some Game that I want see ad for rewards), the beta apk still block the AD.

Hi,

While checking the Energized website, they say that the Unified is Core List + Core Porn List + Ultimate and Porn. So you will basically get the same result if you select Porn + Ultimate in the configurations list

If that is the case please check this thread: Blokada for Android doesn't block ads in Chrome

Seams some settings menus buttons are not resizing to full width? Some works after scrolling down like in This device.

  1. The big button on dark theme is white when off.
  2. I don’t really need the text in the user bar when selecting it. I prefer one just icons.
  3. How i make the notification to say only: ‘Blocked x ads and trackers’. I don’t really care about domaims and takes too much space (height)

Anyways the new look is great. Good Job

OP 7 Pro on stock Android 10. I use Lookout security program. When downloading V5 beta I get an alarm for surveillance ware, while V4. 7 and slim version show as safe. Any comment on changes in software for beta that would cause this?

My immediate guess would be that they detect the blocklist that Blokada 5 includes in the apk. It includes a copy of Energized Blu, to use as a fallback if no blocklist could be downloaded for any reason.

Try tapping that “Learn more” link and let me know what it says.

In general, Lookout is a Russian app, I would not trust it too much.

In v5, go to Activity, use the magnifier to search for a domain. Then try to show the full list again. You can’t, even if you delete what you were looking for, the full list isn’t shown, you stuck with the one you searched.

I would very much appreciate if you can give me the source of info that Lookout is a Russian app I was under the impression it was a very reputable software, thanks.
