Must’ve been abandoned. Doesn’t work
Doesn’t work…
It sadly doesn’t work at all. I think it needs an updating. Dev, can you hear us? Please fix!

App os dead. Doesn’t work and hasn’t been updated in 2 years.
It doesn’t work.
… at all. So, don’t bother.
Does not work at all
Unfortunately, this app does not get rid of the “open in app” banners at all on Safari. I’m not sure what the point of this app existing is? It seems there have been issues with this app for years and the developer(s) have not bothered addressing them.
Brilliant!
Updated review:
I am not sure what is going on, but it isn't working on all websites for me. For example, Walmart will still prompt me to download their app. The Walmart website in Safari iOS doesn't seem to recognize this as a content blocker in the menu. If I only have this extension enabled, and no others, it will not register as a content blocker, so it doesn't allow me to disable or enable content blockers on the Walmart website. But I tried a couple of other content blockers, and I was then able to enable and disable content blockers. I haven't tested any other websites, but I hope the developer will look into this.
Original review: Please don’t listen to the grumpy guy who apparently does not know how to configure this app. It works great! Thank you so much for creating it.

Doesn't work
YouTube? nope doesn't work.
Reddit? Nope doesn't work.
Gmail? No! doesn't work.
I expect the next update to add something to prevent sites from opening installed apps or redirecting to the App Store much even better than this useless app.

Can read your passwords! According to Apple in iOS settings
Does not work, shows an icon in the titlebar telling you it worked and below is a banner prompting to open youtube app.
More alarming is that Apple states that this can view your browsing history, passwords, phone numbers, and credit cards.

If you’re trying to get rid of that annoying YouTube banner….
Don’t waste your time, this doesn’t help to get rid of the banner for apps you already have installed and if you do like I did, it will be forever etched into the indelible stone tablet on apple’s server that you once downloaded this software. You will never ever ever be able to forgive yourself because apple will never let you forget.
Would be 5 stars, but the platform it runs on is the actual issue. Not the developer’s fault, just don’t want people to go through the time and the indelible history of another app to scroll past when looking for an app you actually care about in your library, all because they downloaded this software thinking it would do something it could never deliver in the first place.

Functions as intended
I'm guessing the negative reviewers assumed that this extension would remove custom "Use in App" banners that websites may implement when viewing in mobile view mode and/or below a set resolution. Rather, it removes the suggested app banner at the top of the screen that Safari generates.
Doesn’t work
Giving it 2 stars because I’ve been wanting an app like this for so long AS LONG AS IT WORKS
Great idea; developer gave up?
As others have noted the lack of updates is apparently why Amazon and other sites still have their smart banners at the top of pages. I guess the developer tried this once and then gave up or moved on to better things. You should likewise move onto better things. This app is no longer helpful.
When was the last update
They don’t update it so it’s not surprising that websites still have their smart banner recommending I use their app
Works sometimes
Works sporadically on some sites it removes the banner on others it doesn’t.
Fantastic Extension
Thank you so much for this. Ignore the bad reviewers, they didn’t read the instructions and don’t understand what this does and doesn’t do. It does exactly what it promises: blocks the annoying banner telling you to download an app when you visit a website. Perfect.
