    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.

    Giving it 2 stars because I’ve been wanting an app like this for so long AS LONG AS IT WORKS

  • Great idea; developer gave up?

    As others have noted the lack of updates is apparently why Amazon and other sites still have their smart banners at the top of pages. I guess the developer tried this once and then gave up or moved on to better things. You should likewise move onto better things. This app is no longer helpful.

  • When was the last update

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

  • Works sometimes

    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.
