5/5FINALLY
I’ve searched for something that can do this several times on different occasions. I always give up - I’ve never been able to manage. I’ve tried everything you can think of - extensions, various apps, some light scripting, even swapping to chrome. Read many articles and reddit threads. But this is it - this is what I’ve been looking for. Honestly thank you to whoever made it, you’ve helped stop my doom scrolling. Also, not for nothing, this is the first and only app review I’ve ever written, that’s how excited I am.

5/5Shorts Blocker Support for Lockdown Mode?
First, let me just say that this extension does work and I’ve had no issue with it, and I recommend other people to buy this. Now, I know I’m probably in the minority of people, but, I was wondering if it would be possible to have the extension be compatible with Lockdown Mode. Since putting it on my phone, although ad blockers do work in Lockdown mode, the shorts blocker is unable to block shorts while in lockdown mode, if possible please add extension support while in lockdown mode. Thank you.

5/5(FIXED) Doesn't hide the shorts section on the homepage
(EDIT: developer fixed the issue, thank you!) It hides the shorts button and the redirection feature works properly but it doesn't stop shorts from appearing on the homepage. I tried going to the support website but it says "website is archived". :(

5/5Spectacular App
I have had this app for a day now and cannot recommend enough. It works seamlessly at removing shorts. I have a bit of an addictive personality, and I despise shorts. This app has already saved me time and helped me tremendously. I just hope it continues to work through future updates.

5/5Best dollar I spent in a while
I’ve been addicted to short form content for a few months and now I don’t see them at all. All the shorts do is waste my time and make me miserable. This is a must have extension.
