User Reviews and Ratings
★★★★★The same sponsorblock you know and love
As someone who has skipped hundreds of hours of sponsors on chrome and firefox im perfectly happy to pay the devs 3$ in exchange for their continued updates. Keep up the good work.
★★☆☆☆Unfortunate bugs
At one time this extension used to obey the "Auto Skip" setting, but nowadays — and for the last couple of months — it doesn't. The sponsored segments are marked and identified but none of the skipping ever happens. And it's not just sponsors: intros, like 'n subscribes, and all the other crud no longer auto-skip. It's funny because according to the markings the program recognizing these segments. It just... doesn't skip them any more.
★★★★★Can’t Live Without This
I love this extension so much that I bought the App Store version even though I only use uBOrigin-compatible browsers where this is free…Linux, Mac, Windows - SponsorBlock is on all my machines - its been so invaluable I felt it was time to show the dev some ❤️ (their other app is great too!). Just fantastic.
★★★★★Open Source
Since this is app is sourced on GitHub anyone with a great idea and extensive coding knowledge can contribute. Won’t see that with most App Store Apps
★★★★★Best $3 I ever spent!
It’s exactly like the browser extension and works perfectly, at least for me. Totally worth more than $3 and saves quite a bit of time, if you’re an avid YouTube viewer. I usually keep one ear bud in at work and watch YouTube videos 8-11 hours a day 3-4 times a week, so this is a steal!
