doesn’t work for instagram

i just wasted $2 lol. this app makes it seem you have full access to instagram but you don’t. you can literally just look at the instagram page, and that’s it. you can’t even click on a post to expand it. a message pops up saying “unfortunately instagram has made it impossible to look at content without creating an account.” ok then what tf was the point of marketing this app for instagram? scammy af

Hey. I’m sorry the purchase did not meet your expectations. My desire is not to be sketchy at ALL, and if anything this means I can and should improve the wording of the in-app purchase. Unlike TikTok, Instagram’s website doesn’t expose the urls for the thumbnails on a creator’s page, so there’s nothing to link to. I will update the wording to make this clear ahead of purchasing. The purchase still does a lot of CSS clean up of the video player, prevents you from accidental redirects, shows an extended description, and more. With that said, please do request a refund via Apple; it is a super easy process. If you have troubles, reach out to me at kylejohnsonapps.com/contact. I want everyone to be happy with their purchase.

Perfect Extension

As someone who doesn’t have accounts on Instagram and TikTok but has many friends who do, this is SO HELPFUL! So GENUIS. I can’t praise it enough for just doing exactly what it’s made to do.

It is such an annoying and honestly quite invasive/hostile for these tech companies to force you to not only download but also make an account on their platform to view any content. It is otherwise accessible on web computer browsers, but because I’m using a mobile device they’ve made it so unbearable and impossible to view anything on Safari.

This app changes that and I tip my hat to them. Thank you so much.

The developer is also quite responsive to issues users may have which is a huge plus! I had issues with Instagram reels not loading. With time and some exchanges between the developer and I, he fixed the issue no problem. Even offered a refund if the problem was taking too long to resolve. I chose to wait.

Great extension!

Hi there. I wanted to see if you were still running into issues. If so, please reach out to me at kylejohnsonapps.com/contact. This is the only report I've had of the extension not working recently so I'm confident we can get it working for you!

Thank you

I no longer get redirected to the App Store when I miss the 5px high “open in web button” on reels my wife sends me.

Thank you

Awesome Utility

This app made it easier to lower my screen time on TikTok and Instagram, while still being able to see the clips people send me. Great work!

So convenient!!🌟

I was sent here from a Reddit comment and then decided to download it after reading the review from the other person who discovered this from Reddit. Also went out of my way to write an app review for the first time after more than a decade of downloading apps, just because that other review is was so helpful for me. It was the deciding factor in downloading this app.
I do agree with the two reviews that said you need a tip option.

I've reviewed the troubleshooting several times and it just does not work. Pointless.

So easy a blind person can set it up

Thank you so much Kyle! I read a post from you on Reddit recently from about 10 months ago and thought I'd try it. I really appreciate the fact that it works flawlessly with the voiceover screen reader and loved the verify that it's working button because I had to tweak The allow versus ask options in the Safari setting. This is awesome! I can now listen to tutorials that I was shut out from without TikTok. you're a rockstar! definitely think about adding that tip/donation button ❤️👍

You are welcome! Thanks for giving it a try and I am glad you could set it up without facing much barrier. I can thank SwiftUI being a lot more accessible for that! FYI, this might be my favorite review I’ve received, so thank you. 🙂

A must!

It’s been beyond frustrating not being able to watch TikTok’s in browser at all anymore (every time the site redirects me to the App Store, I want to scream). But that’s all in the past now, because this Safari extension works great! Truly so needed nowadays for those like me who don’t want the TikTok app but would still like to watch the odd video sent by friends & family, look something up on the platform, etc. To the developer: You rock, thank you! :)

Works perfectly!

I’m not interested in getting a TikTok account and never will be. I do enjoy using OpenTok to view the videos my friends and family send me. Thank you for creating this helpful plugin!

Works Great! No user input required after setup(:

I used to use a shortcut to perform the basic function this extension provides. However, this other method required a couple seconds of extra taps to execute. With this extension, after two seconds of setup, that is no longer required. It is now streamlined and simpler to watch when one is shared with me. Plus this extension that the added advanced function of removing extra elements and the many hidden links to the App Store on anything to tap on, which would accidentally happen in the past and I no longer have to deal with. Great job dev! You’re good at this, continue creating!

Great QOL and Security tool!

This seems to hit dual sweet spots for me: it allows TikTok videos to play natively in the browser, and it keeps me safe from the CCP-related TikTok app.

Hi! It is true that no data is collected and the code is open source (https://github.com/kylejohnsonkj/OpenTok) to prove it. The prompt you see when allowing it is required for any safari extension. In this case, it allows OpenTok to run JavaScript that redirects the page so the video can play and apply CSS rules to hide distracting elements.

Perfect in every way!

This extension works like a charm! I don’t use social media and I don’t trust TikTok so I refuse to make an account. But I don’t want to live under a rock either, so when my friends send me TikTok videos they like, I will go through the hassle of copying the link and erasing the part after the “?” symbol so I can play it. Now that I have the is extension I can watch the content they shared more easily and avoid having a TikTok account. Big thank you to the developer for making this simple, free, account free and ad free!
