Billing and cancellation issues: ongoing charges after cancellation, refunds difficulties, and unclear pricing or upsells.
Free tier feels unusable or heavily restricted, with constant push to upgrade to Pro.
Requires Screen Time permission to function, causing onboarding friction.
Bugs and errors (for example, error 152-4) can block watching content.
Perceived dark-patterns or review gating, including upgrade prompts and aggressive upsell tactics.

Recent reviews

Unhook is clearly trying to trick/manipulate you into buying an expensive subscription. For that reason I wont be giving them any business. They do not have users best interest in mind. A flat charge upfront would more honest. And they would have more people using the product. Think about it unhook is for quitting YouTube. Why is there a subscription for it?
