UnTrap for YouTube Positive Reviews

Clean AppLove how clean and detailed the app is. However, there are few bugs that makes some settings do nothing. For example, hiding “Explorer” section in left navigation bar. I would also like to see shorts hidden from the “Search Page.” However, shorts are only hidden from Subscription and Home pages and not Search. Apart from these two issues and other bugs, it’s a great app..Priyesh PatelVersion: 8.6

Wow. Super Impressed.Just downloaded this and I'm amazed by how well it works. Excellent plugin. Someone else pointed out that they felt like they were taking a little bit of a risk since there aren't very many ratings on this, which is why I wanted to give it 5 stars. This will stop me from wasting so much time. Thank you so much for creating this Yevhen Tretiakov. One small request—I love being able to center videos after removing the sidebar of recommendations. Would it be possible to also center the main page search bar and maybe make it a little bigger after someone removes the main page recommendations? Just to counterbalance the massive amount of white space that's left after the recommendations are gone. But, seriously, very happy with this plugin. Download it already!.Big FwankVersion: 3.2

Dev very responsive to criticismEdited Review: So the Dev said the below thing was a bug and not some feature and he pushed an update same day to get rid of it. Now app seems working fine and he personally promised me no data is collected about users. So changed review to five stars because Dev will respond very fast to problems and fix them. Was spooked by the bug but like I said he personally promised me he is not collecting data. Very happy with how responsive dev was! Original Review: The idiot dev spams your user interface demanding login credentials if you disable the plugin. Total crapware..YxghkxVersion: 8.5

Inconvenient InterferencesI love the idea of this app. It’s exactly what I want. However for it to succeed, certain things need refined. The main one I’ve encountered is with disabling the sidebar of videos (which I hate seeing, because it lures my mind into “interesting videos” that I don’t really need to watch). Disabling the video sidebar also zeroes out the Ask chat, which I love using (to get video summaries instead of watching all of these “interesting videos”). Looks like it could be tricky to make this work. But that’s what I need to work. Disabling the intended thing without losing out on an unintended thing which I want to use..Timothy 117Version: 9.6

Outstanding AppI rarely leave reviews on anything, but I had to give a huge thank you to the developer. I’ve been searching for something like this for quite a while, and was getting to the point where I thought I might have to build it myself. Thank you for making something so functional and not selling it on a subscription based model. You truly are one of the good ones 🙏🏼.TheSnakinKrakenVersion: 2.1

Good App, just some bugs here and thereThis app works well and the level of customization is amazing for something with no subscription model. The only 2 issues is that: 1. New Searches will not load while I’m using the extension. Previous searches do though. 2. The extension does make Safari laggy. It’s not too big a deal but it’s still kinda annoying. Overall good extension and worth your money..Lily Pad 🪷Version: 7.7

Best App I've Ever PurchasedThis app deserves to have hundreds of 5 star reviews on the Mac store. I don't know why it was so hard to find this app. I've been searching for similar apps for a few weeks now and this is definitely the best one and worth the price. Thank you Yevhen! By the way it is a very beautiful app with a simple user interface. The only thing I would change is the logo..Gardner#123Version: 3.4

Excellent Extension, Unnecessary PricingThis is an excellent extension with a very involved developer. However, the pricing scheme is unnecessary. The extension should either be free with some “paywalled” functionality or paid-for with no extra in-app purchases (subscriptions, feature unlock tiers, etc.). I think it is fair to ask for one or the other, and my preference would be a one-time purchase, even if more expensive..FrankdawsonVersion: 8.1

My best blocking app but the app has only one problemThe problem is when I went to the channels & videos blocklist and then I went to the channels filter I tried to put some channels ID it didn't hide any channel’s videos and it didn't work and same thing with the videos filter I tried to put videos keyword it’s also didn’t work.Xy580043Version: 3.2

Shorts still appearI have used this service for about 2 weeks now and I like it a lot. Recently however, the “remove all shorts” option has stopped working and shorts still appear on my homepage..DiignensojfnfkdodVersion: 9.3

Many billing confusionNot intend to spam with a low rating but there’s not a way to have 2-way communication with the developer.. App Store says it allows family share but my family accounts cannot download after family share. The billing session on the app page also describes a subscription based while I paid the one time download fee.. Hope these get addressed in some way.Apu_1293Version: 7.5

Oh dear, I can’t load itIt’s all well and good until I click the puzzle piece and it says “Upload video” and/or “Go live.” Nope, I don’t want to upload anything I have or go live in basically my pjs. I don’t think I’ve loaded any extensions on my iPad but have on my PC. It shouldn’t be that hard since there’s a clear step-by-step set of instructions but that puzzle piece doesn’t go where they say they should. Please help..PhelineCatVersion: 4.8

Best App for Improving LifeThis app cured my YT / Phone addiction better than anything else ever has. Even deleting YT app and blocking site wasn’t as good as this. As a YT premium member, I can watch whatever video I need. But now it’s not addicting. I encourage you to try this app, remove all stories / feeds / and comments, and experience a clearer life..Cody AvantVersion: 7.8

Love it already! Been looking for something like this…Love it and already purchased PRO! Just downloaded this, set it up and decided I loved it so much that I went ahead and purchased PRO. Been looking for this solution and at the same time does not invade my privacy. Thank you so much!.Kt_trixieVersion: 7.9

Works well but could be betterI don’t like the bug where I scroll to the bottom of my related videos then they all disappear showing only one video. I also don’t like how I can’t limit the number of videos on my homepage or related videos like I can on the Desktop browser version, I prefer to have a limited selection instead of infinite scroll..CdgXalexVersion: 8.6

Worth every pennyWhat should have been a native feature since the advent of shorts has been solved by this wonderful app. Does exactly as described. No subscription. Just a one time purchase and those brain rotting shorts are gone 10/10 this dev is doing gods work out here.Lacuna_incVersion: 9.3

Numba oneI usually don’t do review but this app is amazing. props to developers. i am glad there is no subscription. although sometime is show recommended videos and short but not all the time and there blurred. great to watch tutorials without seeing useless stuff.FlamingоVersion: 3.4

Updating my review to 5 ⭐️This app is great for personal accountability, it does have some glitches here and there so I wouldn’t rely on it 100% but it will help you 95% of the time. I have been using it for a while now and still rely on it daily..SicornshfotnVersion: 9.8.1

Awesome App. Ton of CustomizationTitle pretty much speaks for itself. Was expecting just a simple turn on and off button for the home page suggestions. Turns out you can customize well over 250 parameters. Well worth the money..AlvarejorgeVersion: 7.7

RequestCan you please update this because hide suggestions is not working anymore currently, this extension is seriously so great though so, just want to get it working again.MajesticSpriteVersion: 9.8.1

Great App: Feature SuggestionI love this, it’s helped me a lot. Could a feature be added to temporarily block the site for a specific amount of time without having to use a preset schedule?.Crimsonknight02Version: 2.1

Fix thisI don’t know if this is a glitch but please fix the hide comment option because the extension is bugged out on the option to hide the comments right now.KswizzygetbizzyVersion: 8.1

Great appI thought it stopped working after recent iPhone update, but actually it just reset and I had to click the extensions icon in safari again.Jdub234Version: 7.7

Great tool, shame on me for not reading closelyI bought this hoping it’d block the range of. IPs the yt app loads from, I guess that’s not possible, but happy to support. Might change my viewing habits and uninstall just to benefit from this..WebDevOnNewburyVersion: 4.4

The app I've been looking forI finally discoved this extension and installed on every single device. Thank you so much for making such an easy and user friendly app. Exactly what I needed to reduce disctruciton..KatiposhkaVersion: 2.4

Great AppLove this app. I do wish there was a way to disable infinite scrolling but I couldn’t find that in the settings. I know the Firefox version allows this and I think I would give 5 stars with this feature..JakeTamu17Version: 7.8

Amazing!I installed, I turned off what I don’t want to see. That’s it. I followed two easy instructions and now I have avoided more distractions and got my time back. 100% worth the price.OfficialjackmurrayVersion: 8.7

Oh my heavensIt's been 3 months using Untrap and I'd pay $50 for this if I needed to. My phone is now truly 100% free of short-form content and I am substantially happier because of it. 5 stars, 10 stars, 100 stars.GrahammyGrahamVersion: 8.6

Worth it!Thought I’d take the chance because I was tired of doomscrolling. It actually works! It gives you a bunch of customization as well..MrEscobarVVersion: 9.5

Is this only for safari?Do you have plan for making a version for chrome?.ㅏㅣㅣㅓVersion: 8.1

Exactly what I was looking forFirst I didn’t realize how it works. But now I understand and I am happy that this app exists. super powerful and useful. thank you so much for this app..Yousuf28Version: 7.8

Great UIAwesome app. Minimal and simple yet super customizable. I wish this and the other social media app were combined, and idk about the subscription stuff, but otherwise this is exactly what i was looking for..Sunburn02Version: 6.2

Please fix hiding the timestamp on videos!Hello, this app is wonderful, thank you so much! The only thing is that it seems the time on videos is no longer being hidden on phones on Safari. Please if you can fix this, it would be 5 stars!.Rama AvianandaVersion: 7.4

It actually works!First time leaving an app review, but this app worked so well I thought it deserved it! Absolutely worth it, works great, and saved me so much time.RrgftuvkkkhbVersion: 9.3

Game Changer!I think this extension may just save my life. If ever there was a way to apply this to the app it would be truly something. But I will gladly settle for this any day..Dperl447Version: 8.1

Best purchase of 2025 so far!This app is just what I was looking for. No distractions, no suggestions, no unnecessary things for me to go down a rabbit hole mindlessly for hours. Thank you developers..Igrio.io my storyVersion: 8.1

The absolute best app everI'm someone who has trouble focusing on a single video cause there is always so much going on such as related videos, likes, etc., but this extension is absolutely perfect! i use it to replace safari and love how you have settings for desktop mode on safari. it makes untrap even better so i can focus on the video thank you for this amazing extension!.RoundshinytabletsVersion: 8.1

So far, this is awesome!I’ve been looking for something just like this! So far it’s worked on Safari on my Mac and iPhone..Ricardo in vaVersion: 8.1

Doing God's work.This app is incredible. Finally able to just watch videos without being bombarded with doom scrolling AI stuff..DestructoDisk_Version: 5.8

Works very well, but…Seems the newest patch bugged the “disable video autoplay” option. It isn’t working anymore..Bmat13Version: 8.3

Works fairly well, not as well as on desktop but worth itI bit expensive but gets the job done..BimmynjimmyVersion: 8.6

One of the best purchases I’ve made.This app saved me a lot of time, now I even forgot about shorts. Many thanks to the developers..AlijkuVersion: 7.5

It worksI have reduced my screen time by an unbelievable amount but what is most rewarding is what I have done on my spare time..OhmgpuddingVersion: 7.2

Channels & Videos BlocklistI’m having trouble filtering out Channels, whenever I put in their Channel ID name it doesn’t work and it’s the same with the Video filter as well?.Aristide ( Ah-ris-ti-de)Version: 4.7

Amazing!Does everything you would want from an extension like this.TakeneverythingisVersion: 7.3

Love itLove all the customization; I wish every company had this much customization..Diray AcostaVersion: 4.0

Helps with focusing on school and WorkJust wish it had a lifetime purchase option.Alex CaswenVersion: 9.3

WorksWas really torn about using YouTube to learn as it full of great content but the algorithm gods would always trick my weak psychology and drag me to the recommendation and shorts abyss. Mostly shorts, I hate those. Anyway, goodbye clickbait thumbnail, and recommend rabbit holes. Out of sight, out of mind. Will come back to edit comment if needed..OhGodemQuelRosbifVersion: 2.1

Amazing app - Worth the investmentThe one time fee might be a bit daunting at first, but it saves me a lot of time and attention so it ended up paying itself off pretty quickly. I could focus on my work more and improve my life. I don’t understand the negative reviews that complain about it not working on the YouTube app, this is meant to be a Safari extension. I do have one suggestion though, I want this thing to work on the Web app rather than just on the browser, so I could have a more seamless experience..Tablesyrup7Version: 9.8.1

Amazing appBrilliant but can’t believe they still want money after buying the app like damn.Mavnet345Version: 9.2

Does as it saysThe plugin works well enough most of the time. Only 2 issues are me not knowing how a plugin worked on safari at first, and occasionally shorts do load onto the page. They disappear after reloading though. All things considered this has broken my habit of doomscrolling so I’d recommend this to someone else.ZachmicVersion: 8.1

Works againIs a great app that worked for the longest time. As of last week I keep getting ads, please adjust your neat little app. Edit: Tyvm, works again!.KultstarVersion: 8.7

IncrediblePerfect title for what this app does. The ability to hide shorts, customize your viewing experience. These are settings I’m surprised YouTube doesn’t offer naturally. It integrates so smoothly. Glad it’s a one time purchase too. I recommend to so many people. Might slow down load time by a few seconds when playing a video, but I don’t care. Improves the experience night and day.BigMusicLover78Version: 8.6

Most useful app ever - can’t live without itI have never written an app review before but damn does this app deserve one. I legit can’t use YouTube without it now, since I can customize exactly what I see with it now. It’s beautiful. I’m no longer bind by the algorithms. I can browse YouTube without dealing with stupid comments or drama/rage-bait content. Life is so peaceful damn. 100/10 app AT LEAST. Please make an app like this for Reddit and include a content filter!!.WilanUwUVersion: 8.6

Superb!Instantly removes useless content like comments, shorts and the addictive recommended feed in one click ^^.Vir-oVersion: 8.1

Support lackingI really like the app but support is lacking. I've attempted to reach out to the developer for help and still have not heard a response. If you need this app be prepared to pay a monthly cost and get zero support..AmlvjVersion: 8.1

Simply worksI have tried many different ways to break my YouTube addiction and thus far UnTrap is the only way I hat has worked for me. It simply works. Set it up and forget about it. You will regain so much of your time and you will become much more intentional with your YouTube use..HonestHunter91Version: 8.1

Great app!I struggle with getting sucked into feeds like youtube. This app is great for helping me turn youtube from a waste of time back into a tool. Ive blocked most things other than the search bar and it works great! No more rabbit holes. 10/10. The app does have in app purchases but I haven’t found something I wanted and couldn’t do yet and I have gone through most of the settings. Support the developer!.Bconnor9Version: 8.1

Two wordsWORTH IT ! I’ve been looking for so many ways to reduce screen time and finally I found this app 🙏.Younes AllaVersion: 8.1

Solved My Content AddictionI cannot recommend this enough to anyone considering buying it. I have deleted all of my social media accounts. The only thing that remained was this constant access to YouTube because you didn’t even need to have an app. There is so much customization available. You can choose exactly what you want and don’t want to see. Something else I really appreciate is that it’s available across devices for the same price! I can use it on my Mac and on my phone. It has drastically reduced my screen time and I am forever thankful that there’s smart people out here making my life better!!.Cassidy4446Version: 7.8

Great app worth itReally helped me reduce screen time, made the youtube very boring.TheBennyMan283Version: 7.8

Disable play on hoverIs there any way to disable play on hover on the youtube home page? I see it listed as a feature for this app but dont see how to enable it in the extension..JaffacakedupVersion: 7.5

PerfectExactly what I needed.GTA H.W.Version: 7.5

Amazing. If you can handle self-controlThere are a few things I enjoy on YouTube. There is a lot that is soul sucking. The customization is extensive and perfect. If you can find someone who can put a password on this and block you from getting on the app... it will work..JrwlockVersion: 7.2

GreatWorks perfectly as advertised!.AqswdefrgetwhVersion: 6.5

Phenomenal workSincere, thanks to the developer for the effort put in to creating this liberating extension.I imagine adding all of these options is no easy task, however, it’s giving me a lot of freedom over how I consume content.So far everything has been working without bugs and any customizations take place immediately..ThrivenflowVersion: 5.4

YesIts more than I expected. Lots of customization to create own productive video explorer..StaticvortxVersion: 5.1

Everything appears to work!Easy setup. Transformed YouTube on my safari app. Very appreciated.Megafish123Version: 4.7

Tame Your YouTube experienceThis is a great app for those of us who are annoyed by YouiTube's chaotic screen presentations. Especially the abominable Shorts. Best of all, it can filter out videos you have already viewed (it does not affect playlists.) It works well with AdBlock..Dafydd thomasVersion: 4.5

Amazing app!You probably don’t trust this app because it doesn’t have many reviews but believe me, it’s great! I’ve recently had a problem where YouTube shorts and recommendations distracted me so much that I couldn’t get anything done but luckily I found this app. This is a must have for anyone focusing on learning and being productive with YouTube. Thank you so much for making this app! -Michael.MichaelMusicAndLifeVersion: 4.4

This is incredibleIt works so well, and it's incredibly minimalist. No ads, no sign-up or anything like that. The changes you make are also reflected on YouTube in real time, so you can really see what does what..James S. ZhanVersion: 4.2

It works Incrediblly well!!This is helping me be so much more productive, thank you and keep it up! Just keep making this app better and dont you dare let it get any bugs. This app is too good to be true..Justremovetheedition.Version: 3.4

UnTrap for YouTube Negative Reviews

They got greedyRemoved ad block option out of nowhere and now the feature is conveniently nowhere to be mentioned in the description or pictures. Just in time for them to hide and limit other features behind a subscription plan - on a paid service. I can’t even request a refund now that they’ve removed what I paid for because it has been too long. They are also bugging you to create an account..ToastyJamsVersion: 8.6

Not Very GoodIt does what it says but not every well. It’s very slow even when you turn it off within the plugin. And I only had like 3 options turned on mainly redirect homepage to subscriptions. I’m on a M4 Pro, so there’s no excuse for the speed. Unfortunately, it looks like a can’t get a refund...ZollicoffVersion: 8.1

Most features don't work for meThe only feature that worked is the landing page selection. None of the feature-hiding buttons worked. I tried the troubleshooting steps but they didn't fix the issue. Appreciate you making an extension like this, but sadly I will give a 1 star..Richard's LLMVersion: 4.9

This company is a scamI paid money for this app. Suddenly, it stopped worked. That’s because they changed it to a subscription model so I have to pay again. This company doesn’t care about helping you, they care about squeezing out any bit of money from their low effort app. Disappointing..MichaelPijiVersion: 7.1

Paid app hiding a pro account for feature listed hereThis should be banned from the App Store. You pay for the app, then for "more" features you need to subscribe to the app. BUT the description here don’t say anything about a subscription to have access to the IA feature, what else is missing to the app I paid?.Christophe macVersion: 8.5

Literally did NothingIm not sure why this is 5$, it literally did Nothing. Save your Money..Junior_2050Version: 8.8

DisappointingDisappointing as it only works on the safari browser, not on the YouTube app..GgueveidvsjdveeVersion: 8.8

Worst purchaseI don’t know how this app calls itself an “app”, it is completely useless unless you’re on a website. Which makes the app completely pointless. It feels unfinished and it frustrates you and needing to constantly switch to a browser just makes it worse. I’d say its more annoying then useful Overall it’s just a waste if money and time I wouldn’t recommend in its current state.ElayahGhVersion: 9.8.1

Disappointing AppThese features do an incredible job on my Windows desktop, so I decided to try it on my phone but shortly found out that it does not entirely remove all YouTube Shorts from the YouTube website on my Safari app! Shorts were mainly the reason why I bought this app, so I’m disappointed (especially since I paid)..Tired_cYb0rgVersion: 9.3

It used to be perfectSix months ago, this extension was amazing. It blocked ads and was incredibly customizable. Now, it’s slow, doesn’t even skip ads, and removes playlists and history without me turning those settings on. Emailing the developer hasn’t done anything. It’s such a shame, I loved this app..Moon-cakeVersion: 9.3

Lagging BehindThis 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.AekorpsVersion: 9.3

PLEASE FIXEver since the newer updates it makes safari search extremely laggy. Pleaseee fix it and it would be an easy 5 stars..EpicDrGoVersion: 8.9

TerribleThis does not work as shown in the screenshots in the App Store. The app made a crazy noise as soon as I enabled it - which was my first indicator that it was absolute garbage. Then I couldn’t turn anything off (ie Shorts). And all the lists of ways to customize the extension were non existant. Requesting a refund..GeuudoteVersion: 8.5

Invasive permissionsWhen allowing the extension to work on YouTube.com, the settings app specifically says that this will allow the extension to read and write sensitive information such as your password, phone number, and credit card number?! That seems too invasive to me. To rub salt in the wound, I can't even ask for a refund because the purchase does not show up in my purchase history with Apple. Hopefully that is updated soon and I can get a refund..DinoberriesVersion: 8.1

Greedy dev in app purchasesShame on this maker greedy and full of in app purchases.StevewonderiVersion: 7.8

Double charged?I just purchased the 4.99 bundle and was charged $14? Hell no! I was deeply interested in this app but this is absolutely unacceptable. Deleted and will be seeking out a refund..SuperfruitbowlVersion: 7.5
