While pihole blocks most ads on apple apps, there are some it doesn't and you will need to figure out which domain to add to blacklist.This is where I am failing or unable to find the correct one. The full ads that pops up during game play is the one I am having trouble.

Anyone willing to share their blacklist on apple apps ads?

I'm the Apple fanboy out of all the devs. Is there a specific app or site you are having trouble with?

Have you followed some of this tips here?

> Block ads or fix broken sites This FAQ is written in the context of finding out how to block an ad that isn't blocked automatically, but the same steps can be used to troubleshoot issues with sites that don't function properly. An example is that sometimes certain payment gateways try to collect metrics on the sale, but these domains are blocked by Pi-hole, so the payment cannot be processed. Also, some links send you through several referrers and if one of them is blocked, you may land on a b…

Yes, I have followed the link and am doing just that. I tailed the log and run the app a few times and input the domains which I think are ads, but it doesn't affect the ads or I have blocked the wrong domain. If you have time, here are 2 apps I am having trouble blocking.

Air wings  
Word Cookies [3 different types of ads it serves.]

Air wings might self-host their ads...I couldn't quickly find out where else they were coming from.

I don't seem to get any ads using Word Cookies, but I'm also using an [iOS blocklist](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/commonly-blacklisted-domains/305/3), so that may have something to do with it.

Thanks for the help. I have added the ios list, but I still see ads for Word Cookies. I will fiddle with it some more then call it quits.
