That’s great if you’re on the web, but as far as I know there’s no way to block on ads on a native iOS app.

You really don't need an app to read a newspaper.

I use the app "safari" to block ads on the app "nytimes.com" and it works perfectly.

Pi-hole should. It blocks the ad servers at the DNS level.

Network Level ad blocking.

PiHole or some other solution to block things at the network level. PiHole is basic DNS, some firewalls will give you ability to actually block the traffic using IP Lists.
