Reddit page no scrolling

Had high hopes for this app as it states working without no login. But that is unfortunately not the case as this app can not remove or disable the Reddit upselling by requesting to use the official app on iOS and locking the page scrolling. In that sense I think what this app claims is false advertising.

Great app for filtering Reddit and very responsive developer

The app does what it does very well and the dev is very responsive and open to feature requests. Strong recommendation.

Makes reading easier

Works well and hides a bunch of clutter. The recent update added a lot of new features like hiding gif-only comments that used to take up a whole page, now neatly collapsed. The keyword filter is great for getting rid of trump everything everywhere. Honestly I wouldn't be able to use reddit without it.

Great app

Does what it says it’s supposed to do. But Reddit is still unfortunately a cesspool

This is THE APP TO HAVE

It’s such a useful and helpful app. If you’re the type of person who spends time on Reddit, you need this app.

Amazingggg!!

Really happy with Protego so far. It works exactly as advertised, is easy to use, and has made my Reddit experience much more enjoyable by filtering out the content I don’t want to see. Definitely worth checking out if you want a cleaner, more personalized feed.q

Excellent Reddit Filter

Really impressed on how simple this app is to use, it makes filtering unwanted content on Reddit easy and the Safari extension works amazing

I have never reviewed an app/extension but…

All of a sudden Reddit isn’t complete trash anymore. Less than a dozen words in my filter list and my front page is completely different. As of now absolutely worth the $2.

Thank you so much for the kind words! Be sure to check out v3 of Protego which launched this week!

Works and it doesn’t

Definitely works, but scrolling Reddit stops working almost every time, so only get the first page load and nothing else.

Such a useful app!

Protego is such a useful app, yet is so simple to use. It’s an essential on my iPad.

A couple asks/suggestions:

- Is it possible to extend the keyword filtering to include the subreddit name? For example, politic* would filter posts with politic* in the title as well as subreddits with politic* in the name.

- Can the redirect to old Reddit toggle be added to the Quick View dropdown menu in Safari? Sometimes it’s necessary to turn it off just to quickly look at a page, and it would be handy to not have to go over to the app for that.

Hey Ady16517, I know this is a late response but just wanted to thank you for the kind words and let you know that the new v3 of Protego now supports native filtering of communities with wildcards like "politic*", just go to Protego > Filter > Communities. Regarding the old Reddit toggle, I'm working on something for this and will hopefully have an update soon!

Highly recommend

Being able to filter out certain keywords and names has made using Reddit so, so much better. Highly recommend this for everybody.

Makes Reddit usable

Reddit is a cesspool of bias and groupthink. At the same time, this isn’t the early 2000s anymore where individual forums were more prevalent. The top results for many searches are all be on Reddit now, and I’ll admit there is often genuinely useful information there. The downside is that it seems 90% of active users there are terribly obnoxious. As someone who does not care to make an account for Reddit and wants to spend only as much time as necessary on the site, this app really helps filter out the fluff. One keyword filter list later, and I went from 74 blocks in a month to just shy of 3k in a few seconds of testing it out on a political subreddit. Thank you for this app!

Thank you so much for the review! Glad it’s making a difference!

Reddit takes forever to load

Hi there,

I just wanted to let you know that I’m really happy with the application. It works just like I expected and I’m using it all the time.

The only thing that’s bugging me is that the Reddit tab takes forever to load, especially after I filter the posts. Is there anything you can do about that?

Works half the time

I have installed this on my phone and iMac. When the app is active and I open reddit, half the time it filters out most of my keywords, but not all. The other half of the time, it doesn’t filter anything at all.

Thank you!!! This is fantastic!

I was so pleased to find your extension! I’ve just purchased it and already added some filters that seem to be doing wonders. Reddit has been so depressing recently, the percentage of positive posts in recent months have been buried by an avalanche of negative ones so I just stopped browsing it entirely which as a long time Redditor, was also disappointing. SO glad to have found your app.

Awesome! I'm so glad to hear Protego is improving your Reddit browsing experience! If you have any questions or suggestions don't hesitate to send me a message via the About tab in the app!

Works well!

I really enjoy using Reddit but the non-stop deluge about certain public figures and topics was starting to impact my well-being. Reddit removed the ability to filter posts containing key words. I found this app to fill that gap and it has been doing the trick!

Sort of works sometimes

What a great idea because I can’t look at Reddit otherwise since 1/20/25. Often it will work and not show me any content with my designated words. It will even show that it’s filtering. Then just stops and won’t start working again, keeps showing me words I want to block. Statistics stop getting updated. Not sure what the issue is but I have the latest version. I would gladly pay for this if it always worked.

Hi! First of all thank you so much for trying out Protego. I’ve been trying to track down the issue you mentioned, I think it only happens when launching Safari right after installing a Protego update. For now, if you run into this issue again, please force close Safari and relaunch it. I’m working on reproducing this so I can create a bugfix as soon as possible. Thank you so much, hope I can earn those other 3 stars because App Store rating are super important for brand new apps. I’ll keep you updated, feel free to email me at hello@getprotego.app if you have more info on what triggers this bug. Edgar

Sanity saving!

Like lots of people right now, I felt it was best to take a step back from social media for the sake of my own mental health. It seemed impossible to engage with it without seeing a certain few people’s faces and names everywhere I looked. Protego has changed that! It works flawlessly on my phone and my computer, filtering is almost instantaneous and it means I can scroll through what’s happening in the news without it being dominated by those I’m trying to avoid. The next 4 years will certainly be much less anxiety producing than they would have been otherwise. It really is worth its weight in gold for me!

Thank you so much for trying Protego and for the kind words! I’m glad to see my personal project is having a positive impact on others!

So much better than the Reddit app

After installing this, I uninstalled the Reddit app on my phone. Save to Dock on my MacBook Pro and turning on the extension works great as well.

Note that Reddit tries to push the app on you, for example chat seems to require the app.

Thanks for the positive review! I’m hoping Apple adds support for extension on websites saved to Home Screen for iOS soon!

Love this app!

Came across this app from the developer randomly, paid, and have been using it since. Great job!
