I use blokada on my iphone, and i downloaded it from the app store. For about a week, i have noticed the app has been making my phone slower and the loading times increase. I have tested it this, when i have it off, my phone runs normally. When i turn blokada on, it starts to slow loading times. Before about a week, the app ran smooth and perfectly. I also am on the latest IOS version of the app. Anyone else notice this?

Have you tried changing the dns option to a different one in the app?

You may also want to try other DNS option.

You can find the dns selection in Settings → encryption → DNS

try a few from this list to see if it makes a difference.

what are you doing when measuring if your phone is fast or not?  
Which DNS did you try with?  
Did you change anything else last weeks except upgrading Blokada?
