User Reviews

User reviews praise the Safari/YouTube support and the value as a port of a Chrome extension, especially for students, but consistently report reliability problems: the controller often doesn’t appear or is grayed out, mobile (iPad/iPhone) support is non-functional, and the extension requires frequent refreshes to work. Many find usage unclear without instructions. Overall, it’s seen as a useful feature when it works, but marked by frequent inconsistencies and setup hurdles across devices.

Pros

Works for YouTube on Safari/desktop sites when it activates.
Great port of a Chrome extension to Safari; considered essential by users.
Helpful for studying and school use; useful on iPad.
When it works, it does exactly what it’s advertised.

Cons

Inconsistent appearance and reliability; it often doesn’t show up or only appears after multiple refreshes.
Mobile mode is unusable on iPad/iPhone; taps or interaction with the speed indicator are non-responsive.
Activation issues: the extension can be grayed out, or the controller never appears, making it impossible to enable.
Lack of clear usage guidance; users report not knowing how to use it on mobile and missing instructions.
Unpredictable behavior across sessions; overall reliability is poor.

Recent reviews

This extension is great when it works. It does exactly what’s advertised. But, the issue I’m having is that it inconsistently shows up on my videos. Sometimes, I’m able to force it to show with multiple page refreshes, but this annoying and doesn’t always work.

This works fine in Desktop website mode after enabling it properly in the Safari settings under Extensions, and then also enabling it in Safari itself in the plugins menu when accessing sites like youtube. But on MOBILE mode the playback speed indicator in the upper left corner of videos does not respond to taps at all, making the extension unusable in mobile mode. I am on iPadOS version 18.6.2 on a 9th generation iPad. On iOS we specifically need the mobile mode to work, please fix it if you can. Thank you!
