Perfect

So glad the creator made this app!

쇼츠 안 보여서 최고예요

Works great except…

Works great, but if you wanna sync the hundreds of settings between iPhone and Mac so you don’t have to do it manually, you’ve gotta pay $3 for the rest of your life. Shame, because I already paid $5 for this simple app. It’s offensive to ask for a subscription when that tiny amount of data could be stored in iCloud that I already pay for!

브라우저에서 유튜브 열었을 때만 작동하나요?

유튜브 앱에서는 사용할 수 없나요? 크롬이나 사파리에서 유튜브를 사용할 때만 작동하는 건지 궁금합니다

왜 아이폰에서는 안 되는 거죠?

아이패드는 잘 작동하는데 정작 더 중요한 아이폰에서는 동작하지 않는데요?

썸네일 깨짐 문제잇는데요

bugs currently

i’ve been using this for a while now and its been absolutely perfect, but now its practically unusable. agreeing to a session only work after spamming the button for 2 minutes and then the same for setting up the session duration. also, the session password can only take up to 200 words and even if you type it out, it won’t let you in. please devs, fix the bugs!!!

Great for heavy YouTube users

YouTube is my primary form of entertainment. I can’t stand how bloated the site has become. This helps cut out all the noise and disable completely unnecessary buttons and UI elements that just always get in the way. Hoping there’s a toggle to disable the pointless “Most Relevant” section on the subscription page added soon, as that’s my only annoyance this extension doesn’t solve.

Does exactly what it claims

Nothing crazy about this is app other than doing exactly what it needs to do. Great at blocking shorts, but you can also tailor it to how you see fit (ex: remove comments, remove homepage, remove recommended videos, remove playlists, etc). This works amazing if watching YouTube on Safari (which is honestly better in the first place) paired up with an ad blocker plus some type of screen time limit app.

Lagging Behind

Now it has lowres thumbnails for all the videos. This app needs to do a better job of keeping up with YouTube updates. There’s a bunch of YouTube additions from the most recent update that you can no longer hide: ie: buttons underneath the video, ‘podcasts’ in the left menu, etc

Response from developer

Sync across devices is now supported, and the export/import settings button works in the latest version.

Was good before slop update overhaul.

I paid for this app just for them to rug pool all features and functions and lock them behind a subscription. Shame I will have to refund it

Incredible

It’s phenomenal if you’re trying to be on your phone more intentionally whilst spending a little less time. I’d recommend it to anybody.

Great

Wish every social media site had an app like this

Not filtering

Was hoping this would work, but it fails to. Our 5yo loves to watch learning vids on YouTube, but he tends to now watch the same videos with effects and variations, which is like tripping on acid🙄. I tried filtering using the words “effects,
Effects, variations, etc..) but the vids are still showing up. Kinda bummed it doesn’t work.

Application incroyable

On filtre ce qu’on veut voir ou ne pas voir, c’est une excellente idée !

最高です。が、一点だけバグを確認しました。

カスタマイズ性が非常に高くバグも少ない。UIも元のYouTubeを保ったまま。そしてこの価格。
他の拡張機能も使いましたがこの拡張機能が個人的には一番使い勝手が良いと感じました。

一点バグを確認したため報告します。

「ホームページ」>「無限スクロールを無効にする」をオンにすると、コメントが表示されなくなります。
コメント欄とトップコメント自体は表示されますが、コメント欄をタップ後のコメント一覧が空白になる状態です。
iOSは26.6です。

iOSやYouTube側の頻繁なアプデへの対応で大変かもしれませんが、ご確認いただけますと幸いです。

良いアプリです。

SNS版と合わせてセットで購入しました。
勉強の都合でYouTubeの特定のチャンネルを見なければならないので、スクリーンタイムでYouTube自体をブロックすることは出来ずに困っていましたが、こちらのアプリで解決しました。
アプリは英語ですが、写真付きの説明でわかりやすく、またSafariでは日本語で表示されるので、問題なく使えます。

Not working right

Love the extension and would’ve paid for premium but it hasn’t been working for the last month. You are unable to scroll the subscription page as only a couple videos load. Once it’s fixed, it’s a five star extension for sure.

Doesn't work on iPadOS 27

Everything used to be fine, amazing actually, but since iPadOS 27 it doesn't let me unsubscribe or mute YouTube channels, it needs to be switched off for that to work, also to see the description on YouTube channels including my own.

I've even tried switching everything off but the only way to get through to that is by completely turning off the extension.

Thank you!!

Thanks so much for doing this – keeping alive the spirit of the old internet and taming the excesses of the current one. Massively improved my experience of using YouTube. Sometimes I feel I can actually see the extension fighting the ads/etc. which is exciting (although occasionally YouTube wins).
