As other mentioned, an advantage is that it blocks ads on phone apps too. My other use case is to add extra DNS entries to name devices on my local network. Finally, after using pihole for a while I switched to blocky. It has similar features but it lacks the UI and the dchp server, but in exchange it uses much less resources. Since I didn’t use either of these it sounded a good trade to me
I’ve been using CommaFeed for a while and I’m very happy with it. https://github.com/Athou/commafeed/ plus it is actively developed. I’ve reported a couple of small feature requests and the author implemented them very quickly.
As far as I know there are many third party android apps that you can use, but its responsive webUI is good enough, once you install it it is essentially as good as an app.
