Ratings and Reviews
Revolutionize Your Reddit Browsing with Protego!
Protego has completely transformed my Reddit experience! Setting up keyword filters was easier than I expected, and changing or removing them is just as simple. With so many bots posting hate and misinformation, especially around politics, my feed used to be overwhelming and unpleasant. Now, I can focus on content that truly interests me, making my time on Reddit much more enjoyable and stress-free.
Protego's intuitive design and seamless integration with safari make it feel like a natural extension of Reddit. For any Reddit enthusiast looking to curate their feed and maintain a positive browsing experience, Protego is an absolute must-have. I highly recommend it for a cleaner, more personalized Reddit feed!!!

Hey Branden! Thank you so much for the kind words! Filtering posts is just the beginning, I hope to keep transforming and improving your Reddit experience as time goes on by adding more useful features!
Thank you!!! This is fantastic!
I was so pleased to find your extension! I’ve just purchased it and already added some filters that seem to be doing wonders. Reddit has been so depressing recently, the percentage of positive posts in recent months have been buried by an avalanche of negative ones so I just stopped browsing it entirely which as a long time Redditor, was also disappointing. SO glad to have found your app.

Good When It Works, Keywords Still An Issue
When this program works it works extremely well. The previous problem with the application deleting keywords is now fixed. However, it is still skipping certain words. This doesn’t happen all the time but more often the longer you stay on reddit and refresh the page. The “real time” portion does not factor in a couple of words. Usually for some reason it is the words at the beginning and ending of your keywords section. Other than that, its works as intended.

EDIT: Just wanted to let you know that this issue is now fixed in 2.4.1 as of Sunday. Thanks for the heads up with this bug and sorry for the trouble!
—————
Hey tkukoc, the first few versions of Protego did indeed reset the keywords (sorry!) but as of version 2.3 the keywords should not only persist through app updates but should actually be backed up to your iCloud account and synchronized across any device on which you have Protego installed.
If this is not the case for you even on version 2.3 or 2.4 then it looks like there may be something odd going on with your system, since I've got a list of tests to make sure this is working before I submit the build to Apple.
Could you help me track this issue down? I'd love to fix it and earn 5 stars from you. As a brand new dev with a brand new app on the App Store every review counts and I'd love to make you happy.
Feel free to email me at hello@getprotego.app and I can work with you directly to address this issue.
Thank you for actually purchasing my app and giving it a shot either way!
