It would be great to be able to add pre-set options other than .5-2x ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2026-05-11, version 2.2.0* Nice and simple, especially with the customisable speed that can be typed in. Only doesn’t seem to work the best on some sites other than yt ### 4/5 — Trouble With YouTube *2026-03-18, version 2.2.1* Playing YouTube videos and VK videos (a Russian video website) slower than 0.25x doesn’t work. Why? Are there any other video websites where this app doesn’t work on them? Other times, this app stops working, completely, for any site, but deleting this app and then getting this app, again, takes care of this problem. Overall, I like this app. ### 3/5 — Mostly perfect with issues *2026-02-03, version 2.2.1* YouTube shorts and Instagram reels can’t be played if enabled before starting the video ### 4/5 — Great but missing a feature on mac *2025-04-23, version 2.2.1* The mac version cannot set a custom speed (e.g. 1.1x) for automatic speed ### 3/5 — Doesn’t work on iPad *2025-02-12, version 2.2.1* Works fine on Mac, doesn’t work on iPad. ### 4/5 — Works great *2025-02-08, version 2.2.0* Would be great if we could change the increments to 0.1x increase/decrease, and if there was a transparent speed indicator over the top of full screen videos. ### 2/5 — Preserves Pitch broke *2025-01-04, version 2.2.1* seconding that the preserves pitch option no longer works on the newest iOS ### 4/5 — works well, one request *2024-12-22, version 2.2.0* wish I could see the speed increments in fullscreen. ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2024-08-12, version 2.2.0* works as expected, would prefer a smaller step up/down of 0.10; would be nice to have the option to set it ourselves ### 3/5 — Great… *2024-08-09, version 2.2.1* … when it works. ### 4/5 — Updating iPad breaks it *2024-06-29, version 2.2.1* Love this app! Only issue I had is when I updated my iPad it broke. If this happens to you, go back and reset the permissions to “ask” instead of “allow” for websites you previously “allow”ed. It will ask you next time and it should work from then on. Not sure if this is still being worked on but would love for the ability to add custom options to the menu so I don’t have to type 3 every time ### 3/5 — Doesn't work on iPad *2024-06-04* It was uesful on Mac but doesn't work on my iPad ### 4/5 — Such as great app! *2024-05-05, version 2.2.0* Thank you so much for this extension! I love that it is: minimalist easy to use customizable not overloaded with useless features - automatically set speed could be a little more customizable with a box to enter a custom speed, other than that, it's perfect! ### 4/5 — Pretty great *2024-04-12, version 2.2.0* Love the simplicity and the funcionality. Only problem is that it doesn't work with Disney . ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-01-24, version 2.2.1* I clicked allow on everything and enabled the extension. I opened YouTube and there was no speed player to be found. I tried the auto speed through the app and the vid still played at normal speed. Simply does not work at all. ### 1/5 — Does Not Work Past 2.0x *2026-01-11, version 2.2.0* To Developer: no speed over 2.0x works. Extremely laggy and unresponsive. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-12-21* All it does is skip. If I wanted that I’d drag my finger across the video time bar. Completely useless. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-10-09, version 2.2.1* Doesn’t work and I want to remove it from must iPad ### 1/5 — skips through video *2025-04-04, version 2.2.1* i tried it but any playback past x2 just skips through it instead of it being seamless like regular x2 speed in the default video player on safari ### 1/5 — terrbile *2024-11-23, version 2.2.0* dont get this doesnt work ### 1/5 — Bad *2024-07-15, version 2.2.1* Because sometimes it doesn’t work ### 1/5 — does not work *2023-05-06, version 2.1.0* intruurept ### 1/5 — Freezes Safari when running *2023-04-20, version 2.1.0* Everytime I use this, it freezes Safari entirely. It technically does to its job by speeding up audio, but then I'm unable to do anything on Safari and can't even make the video full screen. So I end up having to force close Safari to turn off the extension. ### 1/5 — Stops working all the time *2023-04-06, version 2.1.0* I have to restart my safari once it stops working, It hapens at least once a day, ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — YouTube *2026-07-11, version 2.2.1* Speed ### 5/5 — Works *2026-04-03, version 2.2.0* Would appreciate 4.0 and 6.0 speed. ### 5/5 — YouTube *2026-01-30, version 2.2.1* Premium ### 5/5 — A **Required** extension for me *2026-01-21, version 2.2.0* This extension is my must-have for most in-browser video. Just use the keyboard shortcuts to quickly play at 2x, 2.5x, 3x or more. Saves time and sanity! And YT is not capped at 2x (YMMV on other sites.) IDK how long I’ve been using this extension for, but it’s become an absolute necessity for any site with video. Ever had to put up with people speaking REALLY *** SLOWLY in videos? 😡 Or just want to get through a longer video in less time? Recommend you try out this extension, especially if you’re 🌶️🧠! [Context: I’m Australian - many (most?) of us talk a lot faster than much of the video content online. I have no patience for slow speakers or sitting through long documentaries…] ### 5/5 — Great for watching American YT creators *2025-10-02, version 2.2.1* I’m in AU. It blows my mind 🤯 how slowly many Americans talk. With this extension, I start at 2x and move up to 3.5x as needed. Game changer for me. Means either less time on YT (and other supported sites), and/or I can watch more content in the same time. 😎 ### 5/5 — Nhhhj *2025-07-01, version 2.2.1* High ### 5/5 — iOS 18 broke the pitch *2024-09-16, version 2.2.1* The pitch shift has stopped working on iOS 18 need fix ### 5/5 — Thank you so much for making this *2024-08-18, version 2.2.1* Okay this app is revolutionary. Whoever makes a YouTube video about it will probably get quite a few views. I'm writing this review to be a good samaritan and explain as the gentleman above did about the "ask," "deny," and "allow" settings for Safari. One day, this extension randomly stopped working on my phone. First thing I did was disable then re-enable the extension. Toggling/switching among those 3 settings and refreshing the video page I was attempting to watch (3-4 times to test each setting) finally got it working again. ### 5/5 — One of the best extensions *2024-03-19, version 2.2.0* Thank you!! ### 5/5 — 🤘 *2024-01-28, version 2.2.1* Awesome and useful, thank you 👍 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
