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.
