Scrolling manually through a video consistently cuts audio and yt shorts loads twice for whatever reason. ### 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 :) ### 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. ### 4/5 — Can’t chat on live steeams *2026-04-03, version 2.3.1* Can we get access to chats on live streams? ### 4/5 — Awesome app *2026-04-03, version 2.3.1* Definitely love the app, everything works perfectly but… needs a little buffering time and it needs a back arrow or button, instead of tapping the YouTube name on top and getting a new Home Screen each time. Think this is possible?? Also, on iPad, can’t get full screen. Says, browsers doesn’t allow. Keep up the great work!! ### 3/5 — Captions *2026-03-29, version 2.3.1* would love it but I wish I could still see the captions while in full screen 🥹 it’d make the experience better ### 3/5 — Brave is just better overall *2026-03-28, version 2.3.1* It the same thing as VideoLite. Have the same cons too. Brave is better if you want to see no ads and can be able to tilt. ### 4/5 — Great but… *2026-03-27, version 2.3.1* I love not having ads! The annoying thing is that it has a lot of bugs. There is no back button when you’re watching a video, so you can’t look back at another video that caught your eye, and it forces you to refresh to get out of the video you’re currently watching. Plus when I switch over to shorts, it shows the home display instead. It’s a great app, just Pls fix those things! ### 4/5 — Can’t figure out how to go full screen *2026-03-27, version 2.3.1* The app works for ad blocking. It’s great! However, I’m not seeing dislike counts and I can’t get it to go full screen. Some help on the full screen issue would be appreciated. It shows a message that my “browser doesn’t support full screen. “Learn More””, but the link to learn more doesn’t do anything. ### 4/5 — Please Add Font Size Settings *2026-03-23, version 2.3.1* Perfect app except it needs to increase font size ability. Seems like this is a wrapper on the mobile site? It would be nice to zoom in cause text size is small in various places. (video titles, comments, subscriptions page, etc) ### 4/5 — suggestions *2026-03-19, version 2.3.1* great app, The short in the feed page acts weird (bug) zoom in the full screen should granular rather than a fix x3 or so. right now if you zoom in portrait it get zoomed too much. ### 4/5 — Only one thing I don’t like *2026-03-18, version 2.3.1* The reason why it’s 4 stars instead of 5 is because I can’t do full screen on iPad :( So if the creators of this sees this please make it so iPad can have full screen 🙏 ### 5/5 — what is this sorcery??? *2026-03-16, version 2.3.1* magical. life changing. i was so tired of ads during my asmr. i could kiss you. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2026-03-16, version 2.3.1* It saves me so much time I can watch it while doing other things on my phone to the only thing I would like to see added is the ability to loop videos other than that it’s perfect. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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 *2026-04-12, version 2.3.1* Agrhrhdhfgfhdhdhdgdsuhhd day hhdhudhgd ### 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. ### 1/5 — Cost money don’t wait your time *2026-03-23, version 2.3.1* I’d rather just use brave then this garbage ### 1/5 — problem *2026-03-06, version 2.3.1* showing content unavailable ### 1/5 — What a waste.. *2026-02-22, version 2.3.1* Why would you have me pay 5.99 in order to hide the shorts TAB while not hiding the actual shorts which show up on the home page? Absurd. ### 1/5 — More greedy than Youtube *2026-01-29, version 2.3.1* Gives option to remove shorts, makes you pay $10 a month for it. This is literally more scummy than youtube. ### 1/5 — Graphics suck *2026-01-21, version 2.3.1* The graphics of videos are so low it’s hard to watch ### 1/5 — Doesn’t do absolutely anything *2025-12-20, version 1.4.3* SponsorBlock stopped working for me in Safari, so I gave this a try. And it doesn’t do absolutely anything. It doesn’t skip sponsor blocks. It doesn’t even mark them up on the timeline. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 5/5 — Incredible And Essential App *2026-03-30, version 2.3.1* Unfortunately, YouTube is pretty much unusable these days without an app like this. I’m so glad it exists. ### 5/5 — Best app ever made for YouTube *2026-03-29, version 2.3.1* I love this app for playing music with no ads and being able to watch videos with no ads thank you developers for making this app ### 5/5 — Good job *2026-03-28, version 2.3.1* Good job! Like it. ### 5/5 — Works well *2026-03-26, version 2.3.1* Pros - does what it sets out to do, fast, easy, can watch in background Cons - ui is abit clunky and annoying at times ### 5/5 — Thankful! *2026-03-23, version 2.3.1* This makes it an incredibly enjoyable experience. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Bless yall *2026-03-20, version 2.3.1* Bless yall again ### 5/5 — Best version I have seen soo far *2026-03-19, version 2.3.1* All I will say is that I have tested a lot of other versions grab this one before it's deleted ### 5/5 — Thank you *2026-03-18, version 2.3.1* If I ant gotta see 2 unskipable adds every video it is worth the occasional bug --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
