UnTrap for YouTube

Oh my god it works! No more shorts and late night scrolling!!!

Spent like half hour configuring settings and it does nothing. Also he doesn’t say this upfront so I’ll tell you: doesn’t work for the app. You have to go through browser and even then it does nothing. Waste of $5

I downloaded it and payed for it got on it and it didn’t work I can’t turn it on on safari extensions does anybody know how I can get a refund cus this is bull.

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!

Does everything you would want from an extension like this

7.3 update edit: I changed my review to 4 stars, since all the hide toggle issues have been addressed as of the latest update. The only thing that is still somewhat of an issue is the question mark icons on the left side sections, like for example “Import / Export / Reset Settings”. They still don’t do anything when you tap on them, and if someone has a question about what is the purpose of any given action, there’s no explanation for it. Lastly, want to clarify that hotkeys section is on the “socialfocus” safari extension, not untrap youtube, but the same issue with the question mark icon applies there as well. Old 3 star review: This extension has helped me with my YouTube addiction, and I feel it is worth the price. I even switched from the Unhook extension to Untrap on the PC version. That being said, there are a few issues with the iOS version, which is why I gave it 3 stars. First, in the bottom navigation bar, the 'Library' page icon still shows even if I have the hide toggle on. Second, in the Library page, the history and playlist sections are not showing even if I don’t have the hide toggle on. The only way for these two sections to show is if I turn off the extension, which defeats the entire purpose. Additionally, in the hotkeys section, the question mark icon doesn’t work when I tap it. I searched through the setup guide and troubleshooting page, but there is no explanation of what exactly hotkeys do. I also would appreciate the addition of at least 1 preset option in the future. I have no problem changing my review to 5 stars if the issues are addressed.

Would love a feature to block specific YT channels.

This is the best, most practical piece of software I’ve ever used for productivity. Will continue recommending it to everyone I know. One thing I’d like to request is this- When I remove thumbnails from the video cards, I can no longer see the video duration. This causes me to click on videos to see that crucial piece of information, which is counter to the point of UnTrap. If The developer could make it so that the duration of a video could be seen next to the title, this extension would go from a 99/100 to 100/100. thanks!

I have reduced my screen time by an unbelievable amount but what is most rewarding is what I have done on my spare time.

I 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.
