Not for the YouTube App

This works not for the YouTube App

Response from developer

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

Doesn’t work

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.

Response from developer

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

Parfait

Bloque parfaitement les shorts YouTube sur tous les appareils dans Safari

Works, spot on.

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

Response from developer

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

Good app

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

앱에서 사용이 안돼요

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

Response from developer

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. — Guillaume

Doesn’t work for the app

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

Doesn’t seem to work

Have activated it but I can still see shorts.

Response from developer

Hi, Sorry for this issue, Please contact me on guillaume351.claverie@gmail.com We will make it work for you ! Have a good day, Guillaume

Amazing + Request

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!

Response from developer

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

Simple et efficace

Fonctionne comme attendu !

Great app! Very pleased!

Simple set-up you do for any safari extension browser. Works instantly. Honestly had the additional feature of turning recommendations off completely which I wasn’t even looking for but is great. ONE-TIME PAYMENT. Huge on that, thank god it isn’t some godawful monthly service. Genuinely an awesome app. I will say if someone wanted to I’m sure it wouldn’t be too hard to create your own version but for 3 dollars I would say it’s super worth it.

Works

Actually goated thanks still has reel tab but otherwise great

Response from developer

Hello, Thank you for your review ! Are you referring to the YouTube shorts tab or Instagram Reel tab ? Don’t hesitate to contact me at guillaume351.claverie@gmail.com so I can take a look at your issue Have a good day, - Guillaume

T

Exactly what I needed especially during a time when we are overloaded with content to watch. When my intention is to go on youtube for a specific type of video I get it - no distractions along the way. Thank you!

Works for safari

Doesn’t work for YouTube app therefore not for me. Works as intended on safari though. Should’ve been a little more clear about that

Response from developer

Hello, Thank you for your review. I will update the screenshots with the next update to make it more obvious Have a good day, - Guillaume

Works great!

It gives instructions on how to set it up and it works really well

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your review and for taking the time to share your experience. I’m really glad to hear the setup instructions were clear and that the app is working well for you. If you ever have questions or ideas for improvements, feel free to reach out—I’m always looking for ways to make the app even better.

works as promised

👍

Doesn’t work on yt app

Only works in browser

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback and for giving No Shorts a try. Sadly, it is not possible to block content directly within an app. I will try to make it more explicit that this is a safari extension Have a good day, - Guillaume

Works well

Works well to hide Shorts on YouTube which have been driving me crazy. Thank you!

Doesn’t work on app

The thing is that it only works on safari, if you watch YouTube on safari it will appear no shorts. However, on YouTube application itself the shorts are still there. Nobody really watched YouTube on safari, we all watch it by app…

Response from developer

Thanks a lot for your honest feedback and for giving No Shorts a try. You’re absolutely right: the app can only filter Shorts when YouTube is used in Safari, and it doesn’t work inside the official YouTube app itself. I know most people prefer using the YouTube app, and I understand how limiting this feels. Unfortunately, technical restrictions from YouTube and iOS make it impossible right now to block Shorts directly inside the YouTube app in a reliable and safe way. That said, I’m always looking for workarounds and improvements, and your feedback really helps me prioritize what to explore next. If you have any ideas or want to share more about how you use YouTube, feel free to reach out through the support section in the app. I will try to make it even more explicit within the App Store page that this is a Safari extension only. Have a good day, - Guillaume

Quick feedback

I had emailed the dev to add the feature to hide recommendations, and it was added! Thank you, it's perfect now!
