Since that time I have got more to say on the Pro version.
It appears that even with network extensions APIs we can't simply do the same as we do on Android. So, we'll start with a feature easier to implement.
Key points:
1. It will block ads & tracking system wide.
2. It will establish a virtual VPN that actually won't route your traffic through a remote server.
3. Unlike Android, we won't pass traffic through the app (at least in the first version). However, we'll be able to block access to ad & tracking domains for both mobile data and wi-fi.
I'll tell you more on this when the first beta is finally available.

Hm, we didn't fork fanboys filter, but duplicates are possible as these filters have a lot in common. Anyway, Adguard ignores duplicates.

Updated to 1.0.6 and getting constant error "filters cannot be loaded into safari". Removed filters, deleted reinstalled app, nothing works. Seems to be bug introduced in the latest update. it will update after the reinstall then error message appears.
Also background filter updates still do not work, background refresh enabled, app is not force closed so still open.
iPad Pro 9.7, iOS 9.3.2

Is it going to be made available on test flight for us existing beta testers?

Also according to the dev for @adblockios iOS on demand VPN is broken in 9.3.x can you guys possibly confirm if you are seeing any issues with this? particularly in reference to very long loading times in safari?
I appreciate if you guys have a NDA and cannot disclose it but just wanted to bring it to your attention.
As a separate app, but we'll make a special announce for beta testers.
Malware domains is just too huge, there's always a risk of hitting rules count limit

We use an absolutely different approach so no issues like that.

That is excellent news, waiting patiently now for the first release to test.

I would like to beta test, please!
We've decided that it it's a good idea to allow user to choose a Sync provider (icloud, dropbox, google driver, whatever). Not yet implemented though.

I'll make a special announce here on macrumors then
Would it be possible to allow all settings to be sync'd? That wold be great for those of us who use iOS and OS X.We've decided that it it's a good idea to allow user to choose a Sync provider (icloud, dropbox, google driver, whatever). Not yet implemented though.

Can't check arrivals at Vnukovo international airport, that part is unclickable.

It appears it is caused by social media filter, once it's off it woks fine.

That's the plan.
In our blog, but I'll repost it here of course.

Confirmed, thank you!

You might have to look into how you deal with apps that call the safari view api to show webpages. Like tweetbot for example. Adguard is not as effective there than it is in Safari itself
You won't get a estimated release date from a adguard but I am sure it will be worth the wait.
I am very bad at estimates
I hope we'll do it in a month or so.[doublepost=1465549551][/doublepost]
If it really uses SafariViewController and not a WebView, then AG, in theory, is able to block ads there.
However, to check what's wrong with it, we must know address of the page rendered inside the SVC.
Sorry for the huge delay, it's just i am on vacations now.
I've asked dev to take a look at this:
