SponsorBlock for Safari App Reviews

It will always say no video detected, ive checked the settings and enabled the extension in both settings and safari. But it doesn't seem to work.

My favorite thing to do is to check to see just how much time of your life you’ve gotten back from all the segments that you’ve skipped

Update: looks like a ton of issues were fixed including the issue I posted. Changed review score to reflect that. It used to work in Safari (not the YT app) but it seems a month or so ago it’s definitely hit or miss, with more misses. If you watch YT in portrait mode it seems to pick up the sponsor segments but if you start a video and immediately go full screen landscape it doesn’t appear to detect the segments. You’ll need to open the settings in the address bar and refresh it so the video i

It does what it says on the tin. Good extension.

Yes I know it can be retrieved for free but Apple are not kind with their $100/year fee, so for how much I use this program I'm more than happy to have paid for this addon for the about of time it saves me.

It was working earlier today. I went back on an hour later and no segments are showing up whatsoever

Just installed the app and it worked on the iOS Safari browser but I couldn't seem to get it to work on macOS Safari. Turns out you need to go into the website settings on Safari and 'allow' it access to all the YouTube related things.

Honestly, this is a really good extension. I don't write reviews much but this developer absolutely deserves it. I pay for YouTube premium but hate sponsor segments in the videos. This absolutely that one last annoyance 10 out of 10 recommend.

Works just like the desktop version. Highly customizable settings so you can tailor it perfectly to your preferences. $3 is a great price to get rid of the annoyance of sponsors. Highly recommend

Massive improvement to the YouTube viewing experience. With how constant and intrusive advertising has become online, it's a releif to see there are ways to push back.

I was surprised to see it for $10 and not free like on desktop on browsers like Firefox I use it so much that it didn’t matter to me I know the usefulness of it outweighs that price point with this combined with an adblocker it makes the YouTube app useless to me definitely a 5/5 if you use YouTube on a browser

It makes watching yt so much better

for anyone wondering why this is paid, its because apple charges $100 to publish apps on the app store, of which the developer is only getting 50% of. ajayy definitely isn't a making millions off this, blame apple

Recently YouTube Premium raised their prices up to 18.99 per month, and for that price I am sick and tired of having to hear these sponsored ads within the videos, so I thought I would buy this app to see if it works and it actually does. Love it, everyone should buy it. It really does work.

I remember when browser extensions were cool, I'm talking back in 2006-2012. There was an extension for everything! Nowadays, browser extensions are boring, lame and many are not even worth it at all. Even userscripts are so underwhelming now. This extension is actually something different, something that you must have. I've been using the free version on Windows for a long time, but since I got a macbook, I was happy to see the extension on Safari which has become my favorite browser. Thank you

While the Firefox version is able to handle both Youtube and the Invidious frontend, this version can't seem to reliably pick up Invidious instances or even remember that you've asked it to work on 3rd-party Youtube front-ends. That said, if you're just looking to cut out the crap in your favorite Youtuber's videos, Sponsorblock is great.

Works flawlessly. Love it

New support for invidious just dropped! Thank you SO MUCH for responding to feedback from your users and implementing this feature! This app is THE BEST.

Been using this for a while on Firefox, glad to have it on Safari now. Works as expected!

I've used this extension for quite a while on Chrome and can confirm that this version works on Safari. I'll gladly pay a couple of dollars to not have every other video I watch imploring me to smash the like and subscribe buttons.

I cannot blame content creators for having to do sponsorships, self-promotion, telling you to "smash that subscribe button", that's the nature of the beast. But as a viewer those things get old fast. This extension lets you skip all of that fluff. You benefit from the large community entering that data and you can easily contribute too. Sure, you can build the extension for free yourself but to me it is worth payiing a couple bucks to not have to worry about doing so, specially every time there

I would love to see this working with Invidious as well, seeing as there aren’t really any viable open-source YouTube clients on iOS.

Although it doesn’t work on the YouTube app, I’m more than happy to use YouTube on Safari. It’s so satisfying hearing YouTubers getting interrupted thanking their sponsors and I hope more people use this app, so we can put an end to YouTube sponsorships.

The desktop version has support for 3rd party YouTube clients like invidious. It would be nice to have that, other wise it’s good: just do the setup and it’s great.

This app works great…but also can go a bit overboard. I notice I’ll open a video and it will immediately skip halfway through the video! If it keeps up, I may just uninstall it, which is a shame, as I did pay money for this app, as I thought it well worth. Update: now it’s only blocking some sponsor ads, not all :( Update (Jan. 27, 2024): blocking more ads, but always messes up with YouTuber James Hoffmann. Upon clicking on the video, it will 100% of the time jump 3/4 of the way through the vide
