[minor effort]

Finally...reply from ANYWHERE without opening the app

Finally! Now I just have to wait for Tweetbot to:

1) update their iPad app for the first time in years
2) support slideover/splitscreen

Twitter's default apps have become a nightmare. I'll try this out in the meantime, though.

I'm disappointed by the lack of options, that you can't whitelist particular sites, and by the spelling mistake on the report page. Doesn't seem like much effort went into this.

Loading websites is like night and day, holy shit.

it's literally a list of filters, from what I understand

 

[Your Entertainer]

Purify not yet available through website

 

[yodandy]

This is great. Holy shit.

Yeah no whitelisting blows

doesnt work with ipad 4

 

[kfpkiller]

Safari on my iPad air 2 with crystal is super fast.

 

[Sir Abacus]

Can we have an honest and frank discussion now about paying to fund Neogaf directly as users instead of relying on ads?

 

[brianmcdoogle]

Anyone figure out which Content Blocker is Marco Arment's? Sounds like he has one up on the store, but he isn't saying or linking which it is at the moment.

 

[Your Entertainer]

This is great. Holy shit.

Yeah. Shows how trash mobile browsing has really become.

 

[CorrisD]

Loading websites is like night and day, holy shit.

Hot damn, it's noticeably faster browsing, I turned it off to check I wasn't going crazy.

 

[dkeane]

Wow, at how fast pages load with a content blocker enabled. Boston.com was basically unusable, now it's super fast.

 

[Eklesp]

Crystal is available direct link: https://itunes.apple.com/app/id1022177308

Gunna block ads so hard

 

[go_la_clips]

This is great. Holy shit.

can finally browse espn in peace!

 

[ayeorkean]

1Blocker looks to have plenty of blocking options, although it looks like it requires an in app purchase for all the features. http://1blocker.com

 

[Darkkn]

crystal is up!

Content blockers are game changers. Wow. Heavy sites loan so much faster now on my iPad. Google is not going to offer similar thing for Chrome on Android. This makes me consider hopping to iOS for my next phone upgrade.

 

[Backfoggen]

Are content blockers 64-bit only or just Crystal?

 

[Thaedolus]

Update downloaded OTA first time no issues, not even slow for me ?

 

[Junior Mint]

I really hate the new app switcher. It feels laggy even on my 6+.

You are the chosen one..

ALL HAIL!

 

[samn]

Yep it's awful. And it's difficult to really stop at the app you want. App views move in slowly, but then disappear quickly, if that makes sense.

 

[Enco]

Wow at content blockers.

Pretty much halve loading speeds.

Very very nice.

 

[FStop7]

Couldn't get OTA to work so I installed iTunes. First time I've used it in like a year. Yep, it's still a piece of shit. Promptly uninstalled as soon as the update was done.

iOS 9 seems pretty okay.

 

[Cannon Goose]

It should be illegal for downloads to fail at 99%.

 

[Twilight Princess]

App blocker doesn't work on m.youtube.com :/ I was really hoping for an ad free YouTube experience.
And overall 9 is slightly, just slightly slower than 8 on my air 2. Select text is also wonky for now.

 

[e_i]

Picture in Picture works on the Ipad Mini 2. I just tried it with a video in the Video app.

 

[Quick]

crystal is up!

Just installed it. Definitely a huge improvement on loading times.

 

[Sesuadra]

I can't even get contact to the update server ;_;

 

[cjp]

Love (pretty much) everything so far.

Only disappointed with two things:

1. No content blocking for my poor iPhone 5.
2. Don't like any of the new wallpapers.

 

[jstripes]

It's astonishing to go to MacRumors comment section. Endless pages of people saying "Download failed, anyone else getting this?"

Everyone is asking if anyone else is getting the same issue that the entire room is complaining about. Fantastic.

The MacRumors comment sections are full of eternal twelve year olds.

ALL HAIL!

If it makes you feel any better, my iPad is stuck on update requested

whoops nevermind there it goes

 

[Sir Abacus]

Are content blockers 64-bit only or just Crystal?

The entire API is only exposed on 64-bit iOS. So 64-bit devices only.

 

[jstripes]

crystal is up!

I just loaded up an article on The Verge.

Lightning-fast.

 

[KingKong]

oh nice the podcasts app was updated

Does it run alright on your 5? Wondering if I should suggest my mom update her phone or hold out.

 

[amm]

apologies if already asked but how do I remove people's pictures / initials to the left of my text messages view? I just want it how it was in ios8

 

[Van Owen]

Crystal seems pretty nice so far. Hopefully 1Blocker is up soon too for people that want more toggles.

 

[The Real Abed]

Funny. That's a feature that was only on the 6+ and people were mad that it wasn't on other iPhones. I don't think there's an option to remove it. I wish it was on my 5C too. The icons just make it so much easier to tell at a glance who is who.

 

[Moronwind]

Wasn't iOS 9 supposed to come with a news app? What happened to that?

 

[kaskade]

Also remember, when iOS updates shit is moving around and indexing. So some things might seem slower right away. Probably would effect the battery a bit too.

RIP iPad 3

I just don't have pictures for anyone so it's an additional grey circle and redundant initials

 

[Battousi05]

Forgive my stupidness...but why would you whitelist a site to allow pop-ups or ads??

 

[Brianimaniac]

Should I get Crystal or wait for Purify?

 

[snack]

Can someone check if crystal blocks ads on YouTube videos?

 

[The Real Abed]

If you connect to FaceBook it will download some for you. Otherwise just start going around taking photos of your friends.

Send Apple feedback to get an option. (If you've already checked Settings for one.)

 

[Van Owen]

It doesn't.

This new app switcher sorta sucks.
