What Real Users Say About UnTrap for YouTube
Authentic feedback and real-world ratings from Mac & iOS users
Don’t work no autoplay
"I bought this plugin solely to stop playlists from autoplaying, but that feature doesn’t work. On top of that, it now requires a paid subscription just to save my settings."
No Access after purchasing
"I purchased this app a year ago now they’ve changed their business into a subscription. I guess we have to vibe code our own one now. SMH"
Switched up
"Purchased on Apple Store a few months ago. Wanted to start using now tried logging into the app and it’s asking for a monthly or yearly subscription when I already purchased the app."
Entitlement, Nothing is free
"I think some need to grow up and realize that nothing in life is free. You’re not entitled to anything. If you really want to have a more smooth, distraction free YouTube experience and UnTrap from instant gratification, you’re going to have to invest in yourself. You’re going to have to subscribe and get pro. Y’all want everything free, you’re entitled and spoiled. UnTrap from YouTube is still a great app and no whiny, socialist, zoomer brats can convince me otherwise."
