Not worth it..

It changes different words or letters than it’s supposed to.. sadly not worth the money

Plus is a button on the “extension menu”

What an incredible extension! And I love that I can now fix the words that are incorrect on websites, but that “plus” button I went looking for it until I realised it’s the button that says “plus” on the extension menu. I wish it said “Add Word” instead! Nobody knows what plus means as a button!

Response from developer

Response from developer

Thanks so much for your review—so happy you like it!

works super well!!

I use it on ao3, works perfectly!

Works again

There were some issues, but they’ve been resolved and this extension works perfectly again :)

Response from developer

Hello, thank you for reporting this issue. We have received similar reports from other users, and we believe this may be related to an iOS version compatibility issue. We recommend updating to the latest iOS version, as this may resolve the problem. If the issue persists after updating, we would greatly appreciate it if you could share your iOS version and device name (for example, iPhone 15 Pro) via email or in a review so we can further investigate. Thank you for your patience.

No longer works?

I get prompted to press the plus button when I open the extension in safari. There is no plus button anywhere. Please fix this issue

Response from developer

Hello, thank you for your feedback. We are currently investigating this issue as we have received several similar reports regarding the missing plus button. This appears to be related to iOS compatibility, and we recommend updating your iOS to the latest version as a first step. If the problem continues after the update, we would be grateful if you could provide us with your iOS version and device model (such as iPhone 15 Pro) through email or by updating your review. We appreciate your understanding as we work to resolve this matter.

No longer works

This was a great app and did exactly what it was supposed to. However, I’m not sure if this has been neglected and forgotten because you can no longer do the only function of this extension, replace words. When you open the extension in Safari, it prompts you to press the plus button to add a word but there is no plus button leaving you unable to use the extension at all. Hope this gets fixed.

要望

リーダー表示の時に、次のページの単語も変換するようにして欲しい。
例、小説家になろうでリーダー表示すると、1ページ目だけ変換されて2次のページからは変換されません。

Response from developer

貴重なレビューをありがとうございます。 ご要望いただいた件について検討・対応を試みましたが、技術的な制約により実現が困難な状況です。 1ページ目については、サイトのコンテンツに置換処理が適用された後にリーダー表示が読み込まれるため、置換が反映されています。しかし、2ページ目以降はリーダー表示が直接コンテンツを読み込むため、拡張機能による処理を適用することができません。 この制限はSafariのリーダー表示の仕組みに起因するもので、解決が難しい問題となっております。 もしアプリの機能がご期待に添えない場合は、購入から90日以内であればAppleによる返金対応が可能です。詳細については以下のAppleサポートページをご確認ください: https://support.apple.com/ja-jp/118223

Apart from occasional word merging works like a charm

Can finally read AO3 in peace on my phone 🩷

Response from developer

Thank you for your review! We may be able to identify the cause of the word merging issue and find a solution by adjusting how words are registered. If you don’t mind, please reach out to us via email through our support site.

Great extension

This extension is going to help me get through the next four years of news stories. Works like a charm to get rid of the maggot wording.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're truly delighted to know that the extension is helping you.

Can also give you a good laugh!

This extension makes reading the news much more palatable.

Amazing app! +10000

I literally downloaded this maybe an hour ago and being able to replace character names on a whim without having to be on my laptop has already made a world of a difference. Thank you for creating this!

Brilliant, Simple & Effective

Solved a very specific issue, in my city (Londonderry) we have people incorrectly call it 'Derry', now, everywhere across the web we see the correct name. Worked across iOS and macOS seamlessly.

Great app!

It works like a charm and is simple to use. I had no problem paying basically less than the cost of a Starbucks drink for this software.

Fantastic!

This is by far the best word replace I’ve used! *imagine more 'this app is great!' praises here bc I’m struggling to express all of my appreciation and approval*

I love the export feature since I also use this to make machine translations more readable. I have a few different documents for those MTL errors that have multiple corrections based on the topic/genre.

Speaking of machine translation, I found reading MTL to be impossible before having this app. I occasionally used one website that had it’s own word replace function, but it had major flaws and a word replace limit. More importantly, I was completely restricted to reading whatever they happened to release! Thank you for opening up so much content to me by making this app. A translation app + this has vastly expanded my ability to access knowledge and entertainment in the languages I am illiterate.

One issue I have is that there are some symbols which cause issues with this extension. Brackets, for one example, stops word replace from functioning until you delete that word replacement. It would be nice to have a list of symbols we can’t use in the 'word' section because (I assume) they’re also used for coding.

Some insignificant flaws:

As the amount of text replacements increase the word replace page becomes more unwieldy, making editing a hassle. This is especially annoying when you accidentally erase something while scrolling through. The solution I found is to just use the safari 'find on page' function to search for the words that need editing.

On some rare websites the 'bottom up' and 'top down' function’s don’t work properly. Or it keeps running word replace on repeat making some rather interesting errors like one word being replaced to two+ constantly alternating words. Mostly this just causes text duplication errors (which you can fix by being painstakingly strict with word replacing).

On even rarer websites this app doesn’t even work; this has only happened twice in the 7 months (and many websites) I’ve used this extension. Once was because that website used a hidden cypher to stop others from stealing their content. The other website would allow this extension to work when the page first loaded before quickly reverting back.

*My initial review never showed up on here so this is attempt two. Which is probably better since I have a lot more experience using this extension now…

Amazing App!

I downloaded this app because InteractiveFics is not available on iPad or iPhone. This app works wonderfully! It is definitely worth it! Kudos to the developer(s). Keep up the amazing work!!

Response from developer

Very encouraging. It was worth developing. Thanks for the review.

Perfekt um gegenderte Texte wieder lesbar zu machen

Mit regulären Ausdrücken lassen sich die meisten gegenderten Texte wieder lesbar machen.

Zum Beispiel einfach:
[:_*-/] innen
mit einem Leerstring ersetzen und wieder in Ruhe lesen können.

Response from developer

Thanks for the review!

Good Language Learning Tool

I’m learning a language and set this up to replace words I have learned with their translated counterpart. Works like a charm! The CS and IN features are essential and why I decided the price was worth it.

Response from developer

Thanks for the review. That's a great use of the product. Glad to be of service.
