Macs since about 1990 (I still have ALL my old machines, laptops, etc. Still, I love my tricked-out System 7, which is in some ways STILL more advanced than macOS, but I digress), and I've ALWAYS valued my privacy (I don't use any so-called '[anti]social media'. My friends know how to reach me whenever they need. I don't want or need to be available 24/7). That said, I've always really safeguarded myself (VPNs are a MUST for everyone today, and not those 'free' ones), and on my iOS devices, I've had your (very highly-rated. Congrats) Amplosion. My concern is with this bit of standard 'contract' between Amplosion and us users: 'This extension will be able to read and alter web pages and see your browsing history on this website. This could include sensitive information, including...' I understand Amplosion will be able to read and alter pages, but regarding the browsing history, is that referring to the 'past pages' on which Amplosion has been used? In other words, is it just referring to past-'amped' pages? Aside from that, it's very simple to use (I like it), and it's part of my Safari 'pocket knife' of tools. ### 2/5 — I cannot leave a rating due to non use of App *2023-09-08, version 1.0* I clicked on the extension only to realize that I did not need to use said app. I deleted it. From the reviews I gather it is extremely popular. Just not for me. If I could get a refund I would appreciate it! I literally deleted within an hour of getting the app, after realizing I wouldn't use it. Thank you!! ### 5/5 — So fetch! *2022-12-12, version 1.0* Honestly like you install it and bam, so cool. ### 4/5 — Willy67 *2022-11-11, version 1.0* Just started using it but loving the url flexibility. ### 5/5 — Must have *2022-09-24, version 1.0* Any new iOS install needs this. ### 5/5 — Finally works with ampproject.org URLs *2022-08-20, version 1.0* Thank you ### 3/5 — Works as stated but… *2022-08-10, version 1.0* Works as advertised but Unfortunately if you go to a site like Google News and click on a link to an article, when you hit the back button, you lose your place on the previous page causing you to have to scroll all the way back down to find where you left off. In other words I think the cache for the previous page gets deleted somehow. It does work but unfortunately having to find my place on the previous page is an annoyance worse than the amppage itself for me. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2022-06-21, version 1.0* Gets rid of annoying AMP links. Would recommend. ### 5/5 — Gerzwsharer *2022-06-18, version 1.0* !Most beautifulest thing ever ### 5/5 — Huge frustration saver *2022-06-18, version 1.0* (Quick note, from here until you see the word “goop”, my review is much more enjoyable if spoken in a British accent and imagined to be set in medieval Europe. I promise it’s worth it.) Once upon a time, all websites on the land allowed their readers to use the Great Reader Mode. All websites could decide how user data would be collected. All websites could decide what advertisements they would serve, if they so desired. Later on, Google decided to make the Internet “faster” by creating AMP. Its goal of speed was not noticed by many, and prevented the use of the sacred Great Reader Mode. This grievance alone was revolting, but Google imposed certain requirements on websites with AMP regarding advertisements and data collection. Google was abusing its tyrannical rule. But, all was not lost. One day, a programmer had had enough, and decided to challenge AMP to a jousting match—and won. goop Silly medieval stories aside, Amplosion is truly a frustration saver. I no longer have to go through multiple submenus to access the original website to use the reader mode. I also want to give websites and the staff that run them the freedom and flexibility to do whatever they want with ads and privacy. ### 3/5 — Doesn’t do much *2022-02-22, version 1.0* I’ve had the app for months and it’s only avoided two AMP links. It’s pretty useless. Consider this a further donation to Christian for the excellent Apollo. ### 5/5 — funktioniert 👌 *2022-02-20* wie gewünscht 😎 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — UTTER CON *2024-08-08, version 1.0* NEVER EVER works on ANY website whatsoever at all! Does NOT block AMP pages! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-05-19, version 1.0* Can’t even enable it ### 1/5 — Still supported? It crashes on startup *2024-01-09, version 1.0* I love this app, but it no longer works. It crashes on startup and it seems like it’s been a while since it was updated. ### 1/5 — Needs an update to work with Google images. *2023-09-10, version 1.0* It’s a good app, but needs an update to deal with Google images. When you click a Google image or press the visit button, the AMP page slides up from the bottom of the Safari window instead of opening the actual page. The extension works fine with regular Google links. Edit: May 2023 and it’s now broken for Google news links. Just constantly redirects back and forth to the AMP. It’s trying to redirect but doesn’t work. Amplosion stats said it tried to redirect 240 times for one website. But couldn’t in the end. Edit: September 2023 — Dev still hasn’t updated it to work properly in Google Images in Safari. The amp pops up, but it doesn’t redirect. If you click the amp it just reloads the amp, doesn’t open the website. Disabling the extension allows you to open the website with the image. The Dev has given up on the extension, can’t recommend it. ### 1/5 — Worked Initially. Now it does not do anything *2023-05-07, version 1.0* As the title says. I did not change settings FYI and I still get pop ups ### 1/5 — Not working *2023-03-18, version 1.0* It it turned on and selected to all . I put in a site and it changes to a different site with a different name not the web site i wanted to visit. Don't waste your money on this app. ### 1/5 — IPod touch 7th Gen -> Crash! *2022-07-24, version 1.0* On my iPod touch 7th gen, this app crashes like 8 out of 10! On iPhone / iPad = No such issue! But then, according to description, it’s supposed to work on iPod too! Surely, he got his $$ so he wouldn’t bother fixing it. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2022-01-17, version 1.0* Worked for the first week after I bought the app. Doesn’t redirect anything now. ☹️ ### 1/5 — No help on constant crashes. No updates. Deleted app *2021-12-14, version 1.0* As the title says. Nothing from Christian on this app and fixing crashes. Just deleted it. ### 1/5 — 3 months after launch Google has a workaround *2021-12-03, version 1.0* Sad to say this no longer works and an update is needed as google has a workaround and I’m back to AMP bull. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Making iOS Google results bearable *2025-11-11* I’m not exactly sure when Google started using its amp service, but I could always tell when I was on a website that wasn’t quite right. Amplosion is the antidote to Google amp ### 5/5 — Doload this game *2025-07-02, version 1.0* Frickin awesome ### 5/5 — Puppy *2025-03-31, version 1.0* Hasn’t logged any redirects, dk if because I don’t visit certain sites or now an apple feature. Either was, has interactive puppy. ### 5/5 — Fixed now *2024-10-15* Was having a problem for a while where the app stopped being as effective, it got some stuff but not all amp websites. At some point that seems to have been resolved, because I can’t think of the last time I saw an amp websites. Upgrading my review to 5/5 ### 5/5 — One of the only apps doing what it promises. *2024-03-24, version 1.0* This is the most simple but powerful & useful things I’ve “invested” in. Haven’t had to deal with amp links for the last like, year. Most apps or extensions work but require users to check/open them constantly to make sure it’s working, are confusing and advertise many functions but do them all at a subpar level.. or just simply half-work. Amp does exactly what it promises to do, saves me so much timeeee dealing with each individual amp link and so worth the small price. ### 5/5 — Give Lord Waffles his own game *2023-10-18, version 1.0* The browser extension is great and all but Lord Waffles needs his own game! I know you’ve got an animal widget game but it’s missing Lord Waffles who needs his own adventures! ### 5/5 — Lord Waffles Says “Buy Me” *2023-06-25, version 1.0* This app has a mascot named Lord Waffles, which was all I needed to know. But if you still have doubts, know that it also does something I don’t understand that hurts Google’s revenue. $2 to support an indie developer and fight an evil mega corp? Sign me right up. ### 5/5 — Thanks, Christian *2023-06-15, version 1.0* For all your apps, your commitment to user privacy, and all your hard work. Looking forward to supporting whatever you decide to do for your next project. ### 5/5 — Works very well *2023-06-12, version 1.0* Truly appreciate this. Really great app!! ### 5/5 — Thanks Christian! *2023-06-12, version 1.0* :) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
