User reviews

Please add app to the manage extension list in Safari

Works but needs ability to access settings from Safari extension list if hidden from App view. Glad it doesn't take up space if that was the intended reasoning but not user friendly. At least ability to launch app settings from support site maybe.

Response from developer

Thank you for the rating! However, this is not a review of the app. Please contact support with feature requests. I need more information, but it's impossible to have a conversation here. The support email address is stopthefonts@underpassapp.com

Inbuilt list of web fonts missing

Is there an inbulit list of fonts to block or must manually added by user? Not sure how this app works.

Response from developer

You add the fonts you want to block. There's more information here: https://underpassapp.com/StopTheFonts/support-ios.html

I don't understand how to use this app.

I selected block all 3rd party fonts and now sites all render in what looks like times new roman? super ugly? Is there a tutorial or nice looking presets in the app that I could use?

Response from developer

Times is the default font in Safari, so that would be the fallback if the site hasn't specified another fallback. The only function of StopTheFonts is to block web fonts from loading. For privacy and security, it has no access to web pages and can't style them.

Weird default setting

Took me a few minutes to figure out that I have to open the app to make it work as by default it blocks nothing. I would suggest you default to blocking 3rd party fonts instead of none because if we wanted none, we could simply not install or not enable the extension :)

One issue

It doesnt turn off site by site when you select "turn off content blockers" for an individual website. Its all or nothing.

Response from developer

That's controlled by Safari itself, not by the content blocker, so it should be impossible. Please contact support: stopthefonts@underpassapp.com
