### 1/5 — Not for the YouTube App

*2026-07-10*

This works not for the YouTube App

**Developer response:** Hello,
Sadly it’s only possible to block content on safari ; it is not possible to block an other app content. This is an Apple limitation.
Sorry for the confusion : I am trying to make this as clear as possible in the screenshots as well as all description.

Thank you,
- Guillaume

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-07-07*

Save your 4$, this script doesn’t work. Got it working finally by using the same code on this app available on GitHub through Xcode.

**Developer response:** Hello,
Sorry for this issue.
Yes my app is open source, but using the paid version supports me so I keep the script updated.
Could you please email me your issue or open a PR on GitHub so that other users can benefit from your fix ?

Thank you,
- Guillaume

### 5/5 — Parfait

*2026-06-24*

Bloque parfaitement les shorts YouTube sur tous les appareils dans Safari

### 5/5 — Works, spot on.

*2026-06-21*

Works in Safari as expected. No more shorts and wasting time on mindless rubbish .

**Developer response:** Hi!
Thank you for your review.
Yes sadly Apple does not allow web extensions in web apps yet. You can however add it to the home screen as shortcut to Safari by disabling save as a web app.

Have a great day,
- Guillaume

### 5/5 — Good app

*2026-05-30*

This is spot on. Stops me wasting hours of my life scrolling through rubbish!

### 1/5 — 앱에서 사용이 안돼요

*2026-05-10*

사파리에서는 되는데 앱에서는 안돼서 무용지물
아이폰용이라고 적혀있어서 앱에서 당연히 될 줄 알았네요

**Developer response:** 안녕하세요.  
죄송하지만 Safari에서만 콘텐츠 차단이 가능합니다. 다른 앱의 콘텐츠는 차단할 수 없습니다. 이는 Apple의 제한 사항입니다.  
혼란을 드려 죄송합니다. 혼동이 없도록 스크린샷과 모든 설명에 최대한 명확히 표시하려고 노력하고 있습니다.  

감사합니다.

### 3/5 — Doesn’t work for the app

*2026-04-26*

Sadly it isn’t working for the app, so for me it’s worthless. Hopefully it gets changed.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t seem to work

*2026-04-01*

Have activated it but I can still see shorts.

**Developer response:** Hi,
Sorry for this issue,

Please contact me on guillaume351.claverie@gmail.com

Guillaume

### 5/5 — Amazing + Request

*2026-03-22*

Love it but would be great if you could make it so you can keep recommended videos in your home tab, but remove them when you’re on a specific video instead of just removing them all across the board!

**Developer response:** Hello,
Thank you for your review,
Just added this feature in the last version :) 
Have a good day !
- Guillaume

### 5/5 — Simple et efficace

Fonctionne comme attendu !
