User reviews

It WORKS Usually

Every now and then I’ll have to stop using this extension or switch browsers to the Brave browser, which is what I usually do because Apple or Google I don’t know who patches this ext. and fixes the ads. This reminds me of the brave browser struggle, but they’re much slower to fix it than Brave.

TL;dr use the brave browser especially if you want background screen off listening on YT. This is just good for safari and not switching. Also as others have pointed out the controls on the bottom of the screen are usually good until they bug out or stop responding after a couple vids.

I reccomend, but major issue

The controls aren’t optional, so they take up space on the screen and block you from commenting and pressing stuff sometimes because it’s in the way!! Additionally, there’s no way to automatically have PiP on, so you have to enable it every single time you watch a video. Two small changes and this would be the best extension to ever grace safari mobile

It’s quite good. Well done

Buttons

Not bad, but uninstalling because you can't remove the overlayed buttons. Even pushing the slider all the way to transparent. They're still visible. Oh well.

5 star

There is nothing to complain about this app.
