Therefore we're very interested if you come across a website where Vidimote does not work as expected. In such a case, please use https://www.iospirit.com/contact/ to share a link to the video and a description of the issue you see. I'll be more than happy to look into and get to the bottom of the issue. Please also make sure you have the latest iOS / iPadOS update installed. Especially the 26.5 update. It contained important bugfixes for Safari that also fix issues in Safari's support for (all) Web Extensions.

App geht nicht mehr

Leider geht die App nicht mehr. Safari stürzt sofort immer ab. Bitte Update dann wieder fünf Sterne

Edit: wieder alles ok. App macht was sie soll

Response from developer

Unter iPadOS 26.4 stürzt Safari in der Tab-Ansicht "kompakt" ab, sobald Sie das Menü einer beliebigen (!) Erweiterung öffnen möchten. Dies ist ein Bug in Safari 26.4, den Erweiterungen leider nicht beheben können. Apple hat diesen Bug in den Betas der nächsten OS-Version aber bereits behoben. Bis diese veröffentlicht wird können Sie das Problem vermeiden indem Sie in der "Einstellungen"-App unter "Apps > Safari > Tabs" einen anderen Tab-Stil wählen. Da dieses Problem alle Erweiterungen betrifft und schlicht ein Fehler im Betriebssystem ist, den Vidimote weder verursacht noch beheben kann, würde ich mich sehr freuen, wenn Sie dies in Ihrer Bewertung berücksichtigen könnten. Für weiter Fragen und Anregungen stehe ich unter https://www.iospirit.com/contact/ sehr gerne zur Verfügung.

Just stopped working

Use it on a completely legal and definitely not a dodgy site to watch football. Worked perfectly, up until today where now neither the PIP or the full screen will work

Does not work on iOS 26

Does not work on iOS 26

Response from developer

Vidimote fully works on iOS 26. If you're running iPadOS 26.4, when you're using the new compact tab bar, opening ANY extension's menu will crash Safari. To work around it, please switch back Safari to the separate tab bar layout in the Setting app. This is a bug in Safari, affects all extensions and is not caused by Vidimote in any way. Beyond this, Safari can also have issues with new extensions right after they were installed. In that case, restarting Safari, disabling/reenabling the extension and - if that didn't help - rebooting the device typically fix the issue. This is not an issue of Vidimote or any other extension, however. Finally, please also verify you've given Vidimote the necessary permissions as - without these permissions - it, like any other extension, can not function. For personal support or issues with a particular site, please contact me via https://www.iospirit.com/contact/ and I'll be more than happy to look into it.
