I don’t understand what you mean, if installed from the App Store and activated, I assume ABP should run without doing anything else but I am not an iOS specialist ! I have version 2.0.10 (31) if it helps.

You close an app by sliding it up to the top of the screen. That’s what I’ve been doing but even leaving it running it doesn’t block ads. Frustrating. Ray (Cheshire, England).

Technology has taken over lives. I hate to see what my great grandchildren are going to have live through. Why do we passively accept the things that irritate us so? Why can't we get rid of those things like spam e-mail and telemarketer calls? Why do we say, "Well, that's the way it is. We have to accept them." I'll bet the thing on your phone when the comet hits will be a telemarketer call. Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.
October 3, 20214 yr Moderator @birdguy, did you never have an encyclopaedia salesman knock on your door back in the 50s? 😉 Ray (Cheshire, England).

October 3, 20214 yr We already had a well worn set of the Encyclopedia Britannica in the early 50s Ray. In 1952 I joined the Marine Corps and went to war. Didn't need a set there. That family didn't have a car, but we had set of encyclopedias as far back as I can remember. And the most used phrase in our house was, "Look it up." Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot.

If AVSIM is financially benefiting from this, the STOP IT and allow us to donate so much per annum and eradicate this garbage from our screens.
