I'm curious how they got around the 50K rule limit though. No, that "less than a cup of coffee" weasel excuse doesn't fly, sorry. Apple made things worse the day they allowed subscriptions. Worst offender is Agile Tortoise with their app Drafts - the yearly pricing is simply ludicrous. I'm glad they aren't adopting the repulsive subscription model like so many of their indie dev-clique are doing, at least. Good thing about the new up front price is that it's at least compatible with Family Sharing, something the IAP model in the old/legacy couldn't offer, for whatever reason.

Maybe a 50-70% discount to anyone who purchased in the last 6 months.

The devs need to do a better job on that front - giving equal value to all purchasers. However, there seem to be a lot of miffed users, most of whom only bought the app recently (within past year), and I can sympathize with them. By my estimates, that's around 2.5 years of use, so the $4.99 IAP was money well spent. I got great use out of the original 1Blocker, which I bought right after Apple allowed content blocking in iOS. 1Blocker Legacy will still receive updates to rule sets.

However, if you're a fan of the tried and true version of the 1Blocker app and don't want to upgrade just yet, don't worry - the company is keeping it up under the name 1Blocker Legacy, so you can use it until you decide you're ready to move on. If you'd like to try 1Blocker X for yourself, you can pre-order it now on iTunes now for $4.99 (which is 30% less than it'll cost once officially released). This vastly improves efficiency, doesn't slow down Safari, and, as mentioned above saves battery life.

Battery- and data-saving capabilities: Independent tests by Wirecutter, NY Times, and BrooksReview have confirmed that 1Blocker cuts data loaded by sites on average by over 50%.New interface: The new user interface combined what was already great in the old app with a plethora of improvements, making it more intuitive than ever to use.Touch ID and Face ID protection: Requested often by parents, 1Blocker X now offers Face/Touch ID capabilities, which protect parents' blocking preferences from being changed by their kids.User-friendly editor: There's an integrated, easy-to-use rule editor in 1Blocker X, allowing you to create your custom rules for a completely hands-on experience.Over 120,000 rules: 1Blocker X boasts a greatly improved rule set, and will block ads (47.8K rules), trackers (13.3K rules), annoyances (39.7K rules), comments (262 rules), adult sites (3.7K rules), and German and Russian ads (16.3K rules).
