Doesn't work

Enabled it in Safari and allowed for all websites. Doesn't remove anything.

Halfway works

Tried this today on Reddit. It does hide the “Use app” button, but only visually. If you tap the area it’s at, you still go to the app store. I downloaded this app mostly to avoid those annoying redirects from accidentally tapping that button.

It also introduces a new bug with Reddit that prevents scrolling from working until you tap something on the page. Basically it removed a visual annoyance, but didn’t improve usage in my case. Actually made it a bit more annoying, sadly.

Does not work

Reddit still asks you to open app, and has many bottom and top pop ups. Reddit also reloads and breaks the site automatically. The solution is to request desktop site view, multiple times, and you get a very broken, unformatted site
* Update: 1 Year later, still has never worked. Essentially useless

Response from developer

Could I convince you try out the newer versions? There’s been quite a few updates, specially after Reddit’s API shenanigans.

App doesn’t work.

Opening the app asks you to enable it in settings, after doing it nothing happens and it doesn’t work.

Hit or Miss…

Ad-blocking is a constant cat and mouse game where Developers need to make changes frequently. Rekt is a paid app, and you’re at the mercy of the Dev to constantly update it. However, I’ve found that the most stubborn sites break Rekt. Twitter and Reddit are an example. There should be an easier way to contact support directly.

Works well

Does what it says on the tin. All the earlier problems seem to have been fixed.

Not working on instagram website

I still get a banner at the top to “open in instagram app” as well as a banner at the bottom that says “Use the app”

It also doesn’t seem to work if I Add To Home Screen for instagram. Still has the “Use The App” banner for PWA (progressive web app)
