User Reviews and Ratings
★★★★★Perfect
Thank you, this is exactly what I needed and I’m looking forward to gaining back the time I’ve been wasting on shorts
★★★☆☆Good app but just one problem
This app succeeded in blocking out the YT shorts for me however, there was also an option in the app that would block out the comments sections of videos for me and that’s where the problem is. Comment sections are as equal of a problem as shorts are. The app is unable to block the comment sections out despite checking if everything is in place and refreshing the pages over and over again. Please fix the comment section problem for me.
★★★★★Still able to open YT,
Developer wrote me to explain this is to block unwanted suggestions so I’m going to try to use it in addition to “sunscreen app” which allows me to have to password entry each video request from the kids.
★★★★★Great App that Helps Me Focus
Blocked the addictive recommendations from YouTube successfully
★★★★★It Works!
Enabled it on my iPad in Settings-Apps-Safari-Extensions and it works perfectly! Thank you so much for making this!
