Sometimes the adlists stay old and ads get through. It would be nice to have a refresh button instead of reinstalling it.

Lists are currently only updated through an update of the app. User reports say that it doesn’t help to unselect and reselect the lists.

App updates are being published on a weekly basis. Hence the blocklist mirrors will also be updated weekly

I thought that was the case but then when I updated the app, I had some false positives that blocked too much and when I uninstall the app and reinstalled it, it fixed it so I’m guessing it probably cleared and refreshed the lists.
