Ratings and Reviews
App is good
Works great but wish there was an iCloud sync option to sync between devices because it’s a pain trying to set up multiple devices.

Hi Archaic78,
Thank you for using the Home Tab for Safari extension. And for your 4-stars rating.
Do you mean you want to sync the bookmarks with all your Mac and iPhone device?
The browser extension use the "Chrome.storage.sync" code. That means it can sync the settings to the cloud. However, that is the code for Google Chrome web browser (same technology to build Safari extensions). And Apple do not yet have this option to sync with other devices, it only provide for the user the local storage.
Please let me know if you need any further assistance, I am happy to help you at https://www.stefanvd.net/support
Thanks,
This is beautiful!
Don’t listen to the other review saying the app doesn’t tell you how to set it up, it does. It has step by step instructions and even a video. And it is super easy to do so. I set it up successfully with my Mac, iPhone, and iPad.
This app is beautiful and easy to use! It delivers exactly what it promises! I do have some suggestions for, what I feel, is very important feedback.
1) We should have the option to use our own background video, just as we have the option of a background photo.
2) There should be an option to center everything on iPhone, just as it does with iPad and Mac. Without shortcuts, it just looks weird plastered to the top by itself.
Those two changes will make this perfect, in my eyes!

Custom video doesn't work
Custom videos don't work beyond the first tab when updating the settings. If you close and reopen it shows as blank.

Hi deesnider,
Sorry you have had this bad experience. And that is why you rated 4 stars.
Did you use the default videos in the Home Tab Safari extension?
Or did you choose the video upload function?
I would love to hear more about this problem situation. Please contact me at https://www.stefanvd.net/support

Thanks,
