### 1/5 — Doesn’t do anything

*2024-04-03*

I installed it, allowed it, enabled it but I don’t see any options on YouTube for this.

 Edit because of developer response. I would say not clearly because I have no pop over like you have in your screenshot, and am on an iPhone so there is no keyboard that pops up when watching a video. Looking at the permissions it has the YouTube sites listed as ask, but I have not been asked to allow the extension on any of them. I stand by my review that this extension doesn’t work, or if it does and I’m doing something wrong then the documentation needs work.

Second edit: I played around with this some more and finally got it working. I had to go in and change ask to allow on all the sites because it did not ask me for permissions. Once I did that, the extension icon showed up in the address bar and I was able to use the extension. For someone who had never used a safari extension and barely uses safari on an iPhone before this was a bit of a struggle to figure out.  For example I had no idea you could hit the Aa icon and open up all of safaris settings, including extensions. I will update my review to 3 stars, will make it 5 stars when the documentation issues get resolved.

**Developer response:** There are no options on YouTube itself. It says very clearly in screenshots and instructions how to interact with the extension. You can either add the button to the menu bar and use that or use the keyboard shortcuts

you can do whatever speed you want, its great!!

### 5/5 — Works on iphone

*2025-01-04*

Works great on YouTube.com in safari on iPhone as of Jan 2025. You have to enable and know how to access it (via the little puzzle piece icon in address bar) but it does do the needful.

### 5/5 — chatGPT recommended this app to me

it works exactly the way I want it to, and is very easy to use once you figure out how to install and configure it. I use it to listen to Spanish language videos a little bit slower than normal speed. So I have the preset button set to .80, .85, .90, .95. it's unbelievably useful, and I would give the developer 100 stars if I could.  If the developer had a Patreon page I would gladly pay him a little bit for this marvelous product. Or if he wanted to ask for an in-app-purchase of a dollar or two it would certainly be worth it.
