Immediate Relief
I downloaded this in my effort to fight the new “Please allow ads on our site” page blockers that wouldn’t go away unless I disabled my ad blocker, DNS blocker, and other important privacy protections. Turns out these new page blockers rely on JavaScript to detect your ad blocker. Turning off JS fixed it, but I wanted something faster than going to my settings every time. This app provides immediate relief from site blocking headaches. So worth it.

Did not stop the paywall :(
Useful
Make sure to long press on a link, choose share, then view with NoJS. That way you don’t need to open the page twice.
Kinda pointless
You still need to load the website first with JavaScript and then the app reopens it in a new window without it. So you end up consuming more energy and time, instead of less.
Indispensable tool for power users
No JS effectively disables JavaScript, making it possible to read webpages bloated with popups and other distractions.
The app works very well, but I wish it had the feature to always disable JavaScript on specific websites. Right now you have to disable JavaScript on every visit.
Still, I found the app well worth it.

works but in a different view
So you can’t use safari features like the reader view anymore
Gets rid of paywalls
Got this to get rid of paywalls on news sites and it works great for that.
Very easy to use. Cheers.

I does not work
Can please developers get your point with your instruction in iPhone 13 safari does not have share bottom so it not going to work I want a refund. Can tell Apple Store to add a refund Norton. Your app is just to turn off Java script in safari. Thank you I hope I don’t get bill for your app. Thank you.

Response from developer
Hi, sorry the app wasn’t what you expected. It does indeed only load the page without javascript enabled, simple as that. You can tap and hold the URL to copy it if you’d like to share.
Indispensable!
FINALLY I can easily and instantly block JS on a per page basis (not just individual websites but web PAGES) simply by tapping the ios ‘share sheet’ and toggling ‘view with no JS’ on (or off).
Instant JS control without leaving the page I’m viewing!
I previously paid for other apps/extnsns to disable JS in Safari but none were as flawless or effortless as yours and they were only slightly less finicky than having to open the settings app to toggle JS off in Safari settings.
Only this app of yours integrates so seamlessly with the ios ‘share sheet’ and it JUST WORKS SO WELL!
I love ur app and I appreciate not just how functional it is but that your privacy disclosure statement is that you/the app collects NO DATA.
So not only are u a brilliant dev you are also an ethical one. Am now following u on twitter and am officially a fan.

It's just a shortcut
The app is just a shortcut to a website and you can do it for free.
Response from developer
hi! the app will load the page you’re currently viewing, but with javascript disabled. do you mean it’s a shortcut to changing safari settings? if so, that’s true! it also works with other browsers, including in-app browsers, and is only a temporary change, unlike safari’s settings, which would require changing them back.
Now works with iOS 14
Want to view a web page without JavaScript? This is for you!
Response from developer
hi! thanks for the heads up. this is all fixed now!
Exactly what I was looking for
I would have paid so much for this extension. It was exactly what I needed. Thanks so much for making it!
simple and just work
It is a great idea since iOS doesn’t allows browser plug-ins.
If it can allow user to do some UI customisation eg. no showing the address bar as the speak content function will read the URL each time. That is a bit annoying.

Well worth it
This app works as advertised to stop JavaScript from running. Makes it much more pleasant to browse websites bloated with ads and other junk.
Pretty disappointed
I was expecting this app to allow me to load a safari content blocker to block javascript permanently on a per site basis. Instead this app opens the page up in its own interface w/ scripts disabled, but has no option for blocking scripts in safari itself. I guess this is useful for pages that you will only visit once, but not if you want to continually visit a page with no scripts.
Now instead I’m using AdGuard pro and manually punching in the rules to block scripts.

Works but...
As an iPhone 4s and IPad 2 owner, I've become increasingly frustrated with JS-bloated sites crashing Safari. Searched the App Store to see if there's anything that will let you turn off JS in Safari with a single tap. Thought I'd give this a try.
While I appreciate the author's effort with No JS, I find that the amount of time involved -- No JS launches an app and reloads the page in a stripped down browser -- is often much slower than simply going to Settings > Safari > Advanced > JS. Sometimes the No JS sequence doesn't seem to work at all, probably because Safari is choked and frozen.
Will Apple allow you to directly toggle a Settings setting from Safari? Seems to me a simple on-off tap would be the best way to stop crap JS from hosing your session.
Still, some users might find this app useful. For myself, I'm mostly browsing entirely with JS turned off in Safari.

Does the job!
This is a simple app that is helpful in a world where everything we do is tracked for marketing purposes. Free access to online newspapers if that’s your style.
Very very nice
Fixes broken websites where developers have used ridiculous JavaScript for stupid and annoying effects -- has a weird bug where the time at the top of your phone vanishes which is rather unfortunate but works well all the same
Response from developer
hi! this has been fixed! (sorry it took me a while.)
Pretty essential
It's amazing how much better internet surfing is after using this. I feel like I've just bought a new pair of running shoes or scratched my back - you don't know how much you needed it until you get it.
very simple, very useful
didn't realize how effective it could be to simply disable JavaScript. could never be a permanent thing, so this method of quickly disabling it for the current page is perfect
