Can also give you a good laugh!

This extension makes reading the news much more palatable.

Amazing app! +10000

I literally downloaded this maybe an hour ago and being able to replace character names on a whim without having to be on my laptop has already made a world of a difference. Thank you for creating this!

Brilliant, Simple & Effective

Solved a very specific issue, in my city (Londonderry) we have people incorrectly call it 'Derry', now, everywhere across the web we see the correct name. Worked across iOS and macOS seamlessly.

Great app!

It works like a charm and is simple to use. I had no problem paying basically less than the cost of a Starbucks drink for this software.

Fantastic!

This is by far the best word replace I’ve used! *imagine more 'this app is great!' praises here bc I’m struggling to express all of my appreciation and approval*

I love the export feature since I also use this to make machine translations more readable. I have a few different documents for those MTL errors that have multiple corrections based on the topic/genre.

Speaking of machine translation, I found reading MTL to be impossible before having this app. I occasionally used one website that had it’s own word replace function, but it had major flaws and a word replace limit. More importantly, I was completely restricted to reading whatever they happened to release! Thank you for opening up so much content to me by making this app. A translation app + this has vastly expanded my ability to access knowledge and entertainment in the languages I am illiterate.

One issue I have is that there are some symbols which cause issues with this extension. Brackets, for one example, stops word replace from functioning until you delete that word replacement. It would be nice to have a list of symbols we can’t use in the 'word' section because (I assume) they’re also used for coding.

Some insignificant flaws:

As the amount of text replacements increase the word replace page becomes more unwieldy, making editing a hassle. This is especially annoying when you accidentally erase something while scrolling through. The solution I found is to just use the safari 'find on page' function to search for the words that need editing.

On some rare websites the 'bottom up' and 'top down' function’s don’t work properly. Or it keeps running word replace on repeat making some rather interesting errors like one word being replaced to two+ constantly alternating words. Mostly this just causes text duplication errors (which you can fix by being painstakingly strict with word replacing).

On even rarer websites this app doesn’t even work; this has only happened twice in the 7 months (and many websites) I’ve used this extension. Once was because that website used a hidden cypher to stop others from stealing their content. The other website would allow this extension to work when the page first loaded before quickly reverting back.

*My initial review never showed up on here so this is attempt two. Which is probably better since I have a lot more experience using this extension now…

Amazing App!

I downloaded this app because InteractiveFics is not available on iPad or iPhone. This app works wonderfully! It is definitely worth it! Kudos to the developer(s). Keep up the amazing work!!

Response from developer

Very encouraging. It was worth developing. Thanks for the review.

Good Language Learning Tool

I’m learning a language and set this up to replace words I have learned with their translated counterpart. Works like a charm! The CS and IN features are essential and why I decided the price was worth it.

Response from developer

Thanks for the review. That's a great use of the product. Glad to be of service.

Works great!

Simple yet powerful and just works!

Response from developer

Thanks for the review!

Block keywords

There are trigger words I do not wish to see. With this app, I am able to set that those words get replaced. If you’re really clever, you might choose your words so well that you don’t even notice a text contains a trigger word.

Response from developer

Thanks for the review!

App Asks for a Sus Amount of Info

Do not buy. It can record your personal info and passwords

Response from developer

I do not have access to users' personal information, passwords, or other information. Nor does this extension transmit such information to third parties. Permissions messages are displayed when the extension needs to access the html of the page the user is viewing. Since most extensions access the text, videos, etc. described in the html, you will see the same message for many extensions released by other developers. For this extension, too, the message is displayed because it is not possible to replace the text on the page, even though the text is inaccessible. Or look up the text on the Internet for its permissions. Access rights are required to create the extension, does not necessarily mean that the user's information will be sent outside or otherwise behave in any way. I am sorry for your concern. I hope you understand. Apple also supports refunds. Please apply from this page. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204084
