### 2/5 — iPadOS26系での使用注意

*2026-03-07*

iPadOS26（多分iOS26も）系は動画をピクチャーインピクチャーで再生中、Safari以外のアプリを手前にすると、映像は継続再生するが音が止まる。
止まった位置によっては、大音量の雑音を流し続ける。
メールにて問い合わせたが、プライバシーポリシーのページが404だし、もうサポートしない可能性あり。
尚、iOS18、iPadOS18系では今もそのような事はなく、使用可能。ん

### 2/5 — Needs iOS 12 support..

*2025-11-06, version 1.3*

Not sure why but iOS 12 support was pulled, and they don’t let you download the old version anymore on iOS 12 either. It was really useful for those old devices where the YouTube app no longer works.

### 3/5 — Перестало скачиваться

*2025-10-04*

Не могу установить

### 5/5 — PiPifier Support for Lockdown Mode?

*2025-09-08, version 1.2.4*

First, let me just say that this extension does work and I’ve had no issue with it, and I recommend other people to buy this. Now, I know I’m probably in the minority of people, but, I was  wondering if it would be possible to have the extension be compatible with Lockdown Mode. Since putting it on my phone, although ad blockers do work in Lockdown mode, the PiPifier extension is unable to function while in lockdown mode, if possible please add extension support while in lockdown mode. Thank you.

### 3/5 — Googleアカウントが勝手にログアウトされる

*2025-09-06*

小窓にして他の作業ができるのでとても重宝しています
ですが、これをずっとオンにしていると何日かでGoogleアカウントが勝手にログアウトされてしまいます
紐付いている YouTubeもログアウトされるのでログインし直すのが手間です
3年間アップデートもないみたいなので改善は難しそうですね…
使う時だけオンにするようにします

### 5/5 — いいとおもいます

*2025-08-30*

いいとおもいます

### 5/5 — Real deal

*2025-07-22, version 1.2.4*

This app works for PIP, easy to set up and use. Surprised it’s not more popular!

### 5/5 — ピクチャインピクチャできるようになるアプリ

*2025-07-08*

SafariでYouTubeを見る際にピクチャインピクチャできるようになるアプリです。
これがないと動画を視聴しながら他アプリが使えません。
動画の音楽をBGMにしながら他作業ができたり便利になりました。
これだけの機能ですが逆に言えば不要な機能がなく使いやすいです。

### 5/5 — 아주 짱 추천

*2025-06-14*

잡다한 브라우저를 사용 하여서 YouTube를 구독 했었는데 Safari를 통해서 모든 것이 다 됩니다.

### 5/5 — It just works!

*2025-05-29, version 1.2.4*

Great app! Works as described with no bloat. 10 out of 10 would and will recommend to all my fellow iOS users

### 3/5 — Modification hope to be done on PiPifier

*2025-05-25, version 1.2.4*

Hi team

Thank you for making such a useful app for all of us. Appreciate all the hard work. However, if you could improve the version of the app, I believe that more people will be happier and pass the word all around the the world saying that PiPifier can be said to be one of best app for playing PiP.

1) option to keep PiP video mode (always on or off) after a video ended. I do know that most of the video player have default behaviour which it will automatically close PiP after video ended. I hope that there is a possibility to go this.

2) option to disable double click when pressing video (skip forward or backward). Because when I try to press skip forward (PiP - maximise mode)too fast, the video will be minimised which i am annoyed by this.

Hoping that your team can take in my suggestion and implement changes on latest version. It would be great.

From one of consumer

*2025-04-07*

メールがどうこうって言ってる人は、アプリの問題じゃなくて個人の問題だから、他の人は気にしなくていい。
特に複雑な設定とかも無いし、アプリ入れたら普通に出来るようになってる感じ。
このアプリ入れてから端末1個で動画見ながら作業出来るようになってすごく快適。
