What Real Users Say About ShieldX: Privacy
Authentic feedback and real-world ratings from Mac & iOS users
Can’t unsubscribe!!!
"I can’t find any link or contact to unsubscribe! And they keep charging my credit card. This is a scam, the app doesn’t do what it says. Be aware"
ShieldX
"Do not download! I was not notified when I downloaded the app that there would be a 28 dollar a month subscription. I did not consent to this subscription. There seems to be no way of canceling the subscription either. The email for support is a fake. The website is a fake. I have reported this app as a scam to Apple Store and will take whatever measures I can with PayPal to try to prevent any further charges."
Duplicate charge and service not what was expected
"I have attempted to cancel the service and was charged anyway. I wish to receive a refund."
Shields
"They say they charge you only $.99 to start then they charge another $.99 so they get two dollars from you and they don’t want them. The app doesn’t do what they say. I was not happy. I didn’t appreciate them taking more money out of my account because they don’t wanna keep their promise. I would not waste my time on this app. If you do, you’re gonna run across the same stuff that I went through when it comes to finding out that they’re taking more money out of your checking account instead of what they were supposed to be worn and please do not waste your time on this app"
Got Questions About ShieldX: Privacy?
Q.Is ShieldX: Privacy free, or does it require a subscription?
ShieldX: Privacy is 100% free to download on the Apple App Store without predatory weekly subscription traps. You can install and use it across your Mac and iPhone Safari browsers.
Q.How do I enable ShieldX: Privacy in macOS and iOS Safari?
On Mac (macOS): After downloading from the Mac App Store, open the application once, then launch Safari -> click "Settings" (or Preferences) in the menu bar -> select the "Extensions" tab -> locate "ShieldX: Privacy" and check the box to enable it. On iPhone/iPad (iOS): Go to iOS "Settings" -> tap "Safari" -> tap "Extensions" -> select "ShieldX: Privacy" and toggle it ON.
Q.Why is Safari ad-blocking much faster and lighter than Google Chrome?
Chrome extensions traditionally execute heavy JavaScript inside every web page to inspect and block URLs on the fly. Safari uses native compiled JSON rule lists processed directly by Apple WebKit engine in C++, preventing ads from even starting to download without executing third-party code in your tabs.
Q.Does this extension work in Safari Private Browsing mode?
Yes! On macOS Sonoma / iOS 17 and later, go to Safari Settings -> Extensions, and ensure "Allow in Private Browsing" is checked. This ensures the same clean and ad-free experience while safeguarding your incognito sessions.
Maximize Your Productivity on macOS & iOS
In Safari Preferences -> Websites -> Content Blockers, you can easily toggle rules per domain with a single shortcut.
