They don’t update it so it’s not surprising that websites still have their smart banner recommending I use their app

Updated review:I am not sure what is going on, but it isn't working on all websites for me. For example, Walmart will still prompt me to download their app. The Walmart website in Safari iOS doesn't seem to recognize this as a content blocker in the menu. If I only have this extension enabled, and no others, it will not register as a content blocker, so it doesn't allow me to disable or enable content blockers on the Walmart website. But I tried a couple of other content blockers, and I was then able to enable and disable content blockers. I haven't tested any other websites, but I hope the developer will look into this.Original review: Please don’t listen to the grumpy guy who apparently does not know how to configure this app. It works great! Thank you so much for creating it.

Thank you so much for this. Ignore the bad reviewers, they didn’t read the instructions and don’t understand what this does and doesn’t do. It does exactly what it promises: blocks the annoying banner telling you to download an app when you visit a website. Perfect.

I'm guessing the negative reviewers assumed that this extension would remove custom "Use in App" banners that websites may implement when viewing in mobile view mode and/or below a set resolution. Rather, it removes the suggested app banner at the top of the screen that Safari generates.
