Shut Up: Comment Blocker1.11 - App Store

version 1.11

Version History This release supports new devices and improves compatibility with the imminent iOS/iPadOS update. 1.11 09/15/2021 This release supports new devices and improves compatibility with iOS 14 and iPadOS 14.

- Now compatible with this year's new iPad lineup.
- Rewrote all networking code. This should resolve a long-standing issue where forcing a stylesheet update might not complete, despite a working Internet connection. (NOTE: Shut Up supports Background App Refresh, so you don't need to force updates.)
- Removed the Alamofire networking library.

Hey, while you're here: did you know Shut Up is available for all major browsers on the Mac too? Even Safari? Just thought I'd mention it.

Shut Up now requires iOS/iPadOS 12 or later. Thank you for your understanding. 1.10 09/16/2020 This release adds Quick Actions for adding sites to the whitelist. Simply press and hold Shut Up's home screen icon to easily add or paste a new URL! 1.9 07/12/2020 This release removes a feature which proactively checked the clipboard for URLs to add to the app's whitelist. This URL detection worked on-device, and that's where all your data stayed. A future update will make this a fully manual process without sacrificing convenience.

As a reminder, I have the utmost respect for your privacy. Please take a moment to read my plain-English privacy policy here:
