Love how clean and detailed the app is.However, there are few bugs that makes some settings do nothing. For example, hiding “Explorer” section in left navigation bar. I would also like to see shorts hidden from the “Search Page.” However, shorts are only hidden from Subscription and Home pages and not Search.Apart from these two issues and other bugs, it’s a great app.

Thanks for the feedback — really helpful.Please update to the latest version — issues like Explorer and Shorts on the Search page have been improved there.I’m also continuing to expand coverage and fix edge cases across different pages.If something still doesn’t work, feel free to reach out at swifterapps@gmail.com and I’ll take a look.
Wow. Super Impressed.

Just downloaded this and I'm amazed by how well it works. Excellent plugin. Someone else pointed out that they felt like they were taking a little bit of a risk since there aren't very many ratings on this, which is why I wanted to give it 5 stars. This will stop me from wasting so much time. Thank you so much for creating this Yevhen Tretiakov. One small request—I love being able to center videos after removing the sidebar of recommendations. Would it be possible to also center the main page search bar and maybe make it a little bigger after someone removes the main page recommendations? Just to counterbalance the massive amount of white space that's left after the recommendations are gone. But, seriously, very happy with this plugin. Download it already!

I'm delighted to hear that you're enjoying my extension!Regarding the video page, I wanted to let you know that you can easily center the content after hiding the related sidebar videos. To do this, simply enable the "Hide Entire Sidebar" option. Once you've done that, you'll find the "Center Content" option right below it. By selecting "Center Content," you'll be able to enjoy a centered layout instead of the default one.Regarding the main page, I have exciting plans for future updates!
Dev very responsive to criticism

Edited Review:So the Dev said the below thing was a bug and not some feature and he pushed an update same day to get rid of it. Now app seems working fine and he personally promised me no data is collected about users. So changed review to five stars because Dev will respond very fast to problems and fix them. Was spooked by the bug but like I said he personally promised me he is not collecting data. Very happy with how responsive dev was!Original Review: The idiot dev spams your user interface demanding login credentials if you disable the plugin. Total crapware.
Inconvenient Interferences

I love the idea of this app. It’s exactly what I want.However for it to succeed, certain things need refined. The main one I’ve encountered is with disabling the sidebar of videos (which I hate seeing, because it lures my mind into “interesting videos” that I don’t really need to watch). Disabling the video sidebar also zeroes out the Ask chat, which I love using (to get video summaries instead of watching all of these “interesting videos”).Looks like it could be tricky to make this work. But that’s what I need to work. Disabling the intended thing without losing out on an unintended thing which I want to use.

Thanks for the detailed feedback — that’s a very good point.I’m continuously refining how elements are hidden to avoid conflicts like this, so you can keep useful features while blocking distractions.
Thanks for choosing UnTrap! We’re happy to support your journey to a more mindful YouTube experience.
This update makes things smoother and fixes a few bugs.
