### 1/5 — Never made it clear in the first line of text in the App Store that it has a paywall

*2026-04-16, version 2.3.1*

Never made it clear in the App Store that it has the options behind a paywall

### 3/5 — Audio cuts out and yt shorts loads twice.

*2026-04-13, version 2.3.1*

What the title says. Scrolling manually through a video consistently cuts audio and yt shorts loads twice for whatever reason.

### 1/5 — Doesn't Work 2026

*2026-04-12, version 1.4.3*

I downloaded this to remove Shorts on front page of desktop YouTube but after one refresh the shorts were back again working, and yes all the settings had been adjusted as required for Safari.

### 1/5 — paywall

### 4/5 — Great app

*2026-04-11, version 2.3.1*

This app allows for to pip, listen to videos with the screen locked, and no ads. I just wish the app was updated more

### 4/5 — Only just downloaded

*2026-04-11, version 2.3.1*

It seems really cool- and I love the idea of no ads however I was specifically searching for something that could speed up ytube vids past 2.0 for free but thank you so much anyways :)

### 1/5 — Stupid Capitalism

*2026-04-11, version 2.3.1*

Of course they made you pay money to remove YouTube shorts. The name of the app is Enhancements for YouTube (which is a free app) and they are making us pay to enhance YouTube! This is just another greedy app that wants you to pay a $20 monthly fee for basic things.

### 2/5 — Search bar is broken

*2026-04-05, version 2.3.1*

The search bar is white and the text shows up white, so I cant see what im typing in the search bar. Very annoying. Please fix this, and make the app icon it self in dark mode please.

### 5/5 — Best app ever!

*2026-04-05, version 2.3.1*

Removes all porn ads! I’ve deleted my YouTube 2 years ago bc of porn ads and this app removes all of them! GET THIS APP, DELETE THE ORIGINAL YOUTUBE, AND GET THIS ONE! If you are tired of porn ads on the original YouTube, get this one, it’s absolutely free, you don’t have to pay for premium (unless you watch YouTube more on your TV)!

### 5/5 — YouTube

*2026-04-05, version 2.3.1*

It's very useful
