Unable to be compatible with adblockers

I have an extension that is used to block youtube ads on safari called Wipr Extra. If I enable Wipr Extra and APF it wont work the video player will bug out and the captions button and the theater button and the other buttons wont work. Please make a update to fix this it used to work last week probably because youtube made an update.

Use for more than profanity

I have since moved to text to speech to have web pages read to me. However the novels that I read use multiple different symbols as separators and the reader pronounces ever special character like “+++++++++++++”. It is very annoying to have the voice say plusplusplusplus… I now have the repeating characters replaced.

BEAUTIFUL

this app works so perfectly~~ but 1 question, does this work with other apps besides safari?

Troubleshooting

First, thank you for making an app that will filter language from movies. That said, I am experiencing an issue. I am attempting to mirror a movie that I am watching on my iPad. It seems to play fine until I get to a filtered word, then it gets stuck in a loop there and will not go forward. Any suggestions?

Waste

Tried everything but does not work on safari. Will change rating if someone can fix it.

Works great

It works great for me! :D

Vader

It’s working perfectly thank you

Not impressed and not user friendly

Man If this was free I would say a word…
But with that being said this app costs a little money… and no free trial.

I wanted to use this for socials, but I realized it doesn’t work on apps so I just deleted the apps and saved a bookmark of facebook.

Well that’s where it got tough because I couldn’t get it to work in settings for a while, so I watched a YouTube vid on how to set it up right… and it started to work!
But the next day I get my phone with the exact settings it had the previous day only to find it not working at all now and I can’t seem to get it to work. :(

Just to wrap it up… for one yall need a UX designer🤦🏻‍♂️😂 second, have more easy to understand directions because all the GitHub articles take like a coder to understand!
You have to look and the majority of your demographic as not-so-techy people who just want a fairly easy tool to use to block profanity.

I am sorry to leave a bad review as I never have before, but this one I had to😔

Should have told me before buying

The app does not allow a trial, which would have been nice since the app won’t work on safari if you have web content restricted in screen time settings That would have been nice to know before purchasing - now my app is either worthless, or I have to turn off content filtering. 👎

Amazing!

Seriously incredible! The developer has done something amazing in creating this app and the chrome extension. They both work very well and are extremely flexible and customizable. I love it! So nice to not have to wade through the thick sludge of profanity that envelopes everything on the internet these days.

Request: Any chance this could work on Kindle Cloud Reader?😬 That'd be the cherry on top for me, but I'm assuming the text is displayed in a different way and that's why it's not currently working.

Troubleshooting

Was able to get the extension to work through Chrome Webstore on a Windows PC; worked great. Thanks for creating an app to filter out the profanity that floods the entertainment industry.

Trouble getting the Safari version of the extension to work for iOS. Went into settings to enable the extension. Went into the settings of the extension and enabled mute for audio, but nothing happens. Suggestions?

Response from developer

Hi! I'm sorry that the app isn't working like you expected. I'd be happy to help try and get it working for you. When you say it isn't working, do you mean the text filtering, the audio muting, or both? For faster support feel free to send an email to apf@frostco.dev.

Doesn’t work

There aren’t any instructions and when I finally got the extension turned on it still wasn’t filtering properly. I think you have to have a computer science degree to figure it out.

Great filter

Works great with regular webpages. Is there anyway to get it to work with a PDF? I can load one of my books into Safari as a PDF but it doesn’t seem to be working.

I love these features!

Is there a way to filter out Amazons audible website? I’m able to play audio on Safari.

Help please

I actually have the free extension of this on my laptop and it works perfectly fine! BUT I wanted to get this on my IOS iPhone and I did because I saw another review saying it works for streaming apps like Netflix, Disney+, Hulu and more! THAT WAS A LIE! Maybe I don’t know how to set it up.. I'm hoping the developers will respond to this review, unless I'm requesting a refund, because $5 is a waste of money!!!

Can I use this to filter texts?

How do I use this to filter texts? Thanks!

FILTERS EVERYTHING (AUDIO INCLUDED)

Literally every website has filtering options! It’s insane!!! Every website that has video playback and subtitles is filterable! Disney+, Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, Amazon Video, EVEN YOUTUBE!!! It’s truly the best! I use it for everything and is soooooo easy to manage and maneuver! And if your struggling at all, you can always ask for in the discord or through email with the develop! He is truly the nicest guy as I’ve had issues and he has happily resolved them countless times for me! So yes! This is the best service and I use it daily!!!

Doesn’t work with audio words

Downloaded app and added to safari. Changed settings so that is is active on safari. Added my words and tried it out on brittbox and showmax. Doesn’t work😢 Mad at myself for paying for something that doesn't work.

I don’t get it… it doesn’t work with Safari!

I consider myself a person who navigates apps well but, this is a nightmare!!!!!! First, I did not know it doesn’t work with Safari. So what’s the point. I have iPhone. Anyway, they got me. They got my money for nothing. I downloaded Chrome and there is no way to open the apps capabilities on the chrome app on iPhone so 🤷🏽‍♀️ They got me. $5 down the drain. When I first downloaded the app it says to open the extension in Safari settings but, it doesn’t actually work. I hope I did not get scammed and there is a virus on my phone.

Works

It take a little bit of setup, but works good on safari. It does work on a lot of sites, including YouTube.
