### 5/5 — Simple et efficace

*2025-11-17, version 1.02*

Merci pour le développement de cette appli qui permet de reprendre un peu le contre de ses réseaux !

### 5/5 — Lifesaver for quitting socials

*2025-10-14, version 1.02*

The goat. I still need insta DM's and want to post to my page as a photographer. But this removes all other distractions. Thank you so much.

### 5/5 — Super App mit viel Potential.

*2025-10-11, version 1.02*

Die App ist toll. Die Idee ist super und ich benutze sie nun dauerhaft und empfehle sie gerade vielen Freunden. Zwei Kritikpunkte: Bei YouTube Web sind auf der Startseite noch Shorts zu sehen, es wäre toll wenn diese auch ausgeblendet werden können. Zudem wäre es gut, einstellen zu können, dass Reels die auf Instagram von Freunden geschickt wurden, angeschaut werden können, obwohl es generell ausgeschaltet ist.

### 5/5 — Deserves way more credit!

*2025-10-06, version 1.02*

This app does exactly as advertised, get me and my friends away from doom scrolling. Super customisable and the Instgram web app is actually really really smooth!

### 5/5 — Unreal app…

*2025-10-01, version 1.02*

This is exactly the app my mates and I have been looking for, turns Instagram back into a fun app where you can see what your friends post without all the other rubbish that keeps you scrolling for hours on end. 
One problem we’ve run into is that the home feed blanks out after a couple of posts and you have to restart the app to get new posts to see, if this can be fixed then this app would be perfect

### 5/5 — Greatest app ever

*2025-07-16, version 1.02*

This app is actively curing my doomscrolling addiction

### 5/5 — I love this app :)

*2025-07-03, version 1.02*

I love how you can choose what to block in this block, including REELS, tysm this app is a life saver 😭

### 5/5 — GAME CHANGER! Why isn’t this famous?

*2025-06-24, version 1.02*

Blocking instagram’s reel’s page (without blocking the entire app) is an absolute god-send!

Id love to see you keep updating this (maybe include Facebook? YouTube Shorts can also still come up on the main feed).

App definitely needs more popularity and recognition.

### 5/5 — Brilliant App

*2025-06-24, version 1.02*

Does what it says on the tin and free! What a hero the developer is.

### 5/5 — Exceptionally simple and effective

*2025-05-28, version 1.02*

I felt disheartened with how hard it was to actually disable reels and shorts on IOS devices. However this app somehow does it with a neat little workaround, it’s already saved me so much time and it costs me the grand total of £0. The Instagram functionality is a little off as of right now in regard to hiding certain posts but it’s early days and this app has a bright future!

### 5/5 — Nice App 🙌🏻

*2025-04-27, version 1.01*

Funktioniert super, habe lange auf so eine App gewartet 😊

### 5/5 — Perfekt für Instagram und Twitter (X)

*2025-04-26, version 1.01*

Funktioniert perfekt, ich kann die App jedem empfehlen, der Instagram zwar nutzen, aber nicht unfreiwillig in Reels gezogen werden will!

### 1/5 — Doesn't work for Instagram

*2026-04-29, version 1.32*

if you want to use it for insta if no longer works because IG doesn't let you use a web browser anymore it forces you to go and download/use the app

### 3/5 — Blocking not working

*2026-05-29, version 1.32*

Blocking suggestions on home page not working as of May 28

### 4/5 — small suggestion

*2026-06-10, version 1.32*

great app, just a single flaw. id like to be able to watch the things my friends send me but not be able to scroll further. other then that fantastic app.

### 5/5 — Peak

*2026-04-11, version 1.32*

Actually works, no subscription W dev

### 5/5 — Thanks so much!!

*2026-03-15, version 1.32*

i love this app so much, i used it to fix my instagram app to only include messages and youtube app to get rid of shorts, and i've been so much less distracted now, you're such a lifesaver and i hope more people discover this app because somehow turning off shorts and reels is exactly what i've been wanting for so long and now i can finally do it!

### 5/5 — Perfect App

*2026-02-03, version 1.32*

This app completely gets rid of reels and YouTube shorts

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2026-01-17, version 1.32*

This is so so good. The app is limited by the web apps of each respective social media, but being able to get rid of reels and explore posts is exactly what I've been searching for. I couldn't be more grateful. It won't be as good as the normal app, but give this a try and see how it can change your life. It's worth it.

### 5/5 — Awesome idea

*2026-01-07, version 1.32*

Works on the web app version of Instagram and lets you block all the distracting features like reels! I’ve been looking for something like this for ever and I love how simple it is. Great app.

### 5/5 — Thank you🛐

*2026-01-04, version 1.02*

It works for now.

### 5/5 — Amazing and free?!

*2026-01-03*

Blocks YouTube shorts and instagram reels and works with PWA Safari web apps unlike other apps.

### 5/5 — really great!!!

*2025-12-31, version 1.02*

the only app of its kind.. hoping to help w my short form content addiction. its really nice and honestly just feels clean and i can still see friends or business content. my stories on insta have disappeared which is weird, hoping to fix it on my end if i messed up, or have that added!!

### 5/5 — The only app that’s helped me!!

*2025-12-02, version 1.02*

For about a year now I’ve been struggling with constantly scrolling on my phone. I have tried soooo many screen time blockers like Opal but nothing helped me I always went back because of excuses like “replying to friends” or “posting a story”. 
So when I found the devs comment on a Reddit post talking about how it can block certain things, I jumped right on it and it has LITERALLY CHANGED MY LIFE🙏🙏🙏 THANK YOU DEV THANK YOU SO MUCH🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

### 5/5 — Super

*2025-12-01, version 1.02*

On désinstalle l’application officielle Instagram, Facebook etc. On la remplace par un raccourci web et on active Unscrollable (ou plutôt désactive les fonctionnalités qu’on ne veut plus) et on retrouve l’Instagram de 2015, sans Reels, sans publications d’inconnus ou d’entreprises. Juste les messages privés et les posts et stories de nos amis. C’est parfait.
