What Real Users Say About PiPifier
Authentic feedback and real-world ratings from Mac & iOS users
Not functional for me
"Neither the extensions nor the share method would allow me to enable pipifier! Was really hoping this would be good since i'd heard so many good things about"
So good!!
"This is absolutely PERFECT!! I can play Roblox on it, and listen to music with a tap!! I love this, now I can sing more."
Works Well
"Easy to use and works just as expected! Would like an option to "auto" PiP if possible - popping a video out into pip automatically when changing tabs or leaving safari."
Needs iOS 12 support..
"Not sure why but iOS 12 support was pulled, and they don’t let you download the old version anymore on iOS 12 either. It was really useful for those old devices where the YouTube app no longer works."
