I only give it four since for some reason YouTube searches don’t load anymore since I downloaded it or maybe it’s because of the other app social focus

I have developed a severe addiction to Youtube and YT shorts. I’m so glad this app came along and helped me manage my Youtube use on the daily. Kudos to the developers!
Disappointed.

I was desperate to stop doomscrolling on youtube and that includes the suggested videos on the youtube homepage. I thought, whats the harm in paying once for an app that will help me get rid of this distraction? And after paying for this app and installing it just to use it on safari, I couldn’t even do that. Why? Why remove the ability to hide the suggested videos on the homepage? I’m furious that it’s not even an option. As distracting as youtube shorts are, suggested videos are the same thing for someone as addicted to youtube as me. Please, please, please just update this app to include that function.
Developer Response
