Opener ‒ Open Links In Apps Customer Service

Opener ‒ open links in apps Positive Reviews

🥇AMAZING APP & SERVICE SUPPORTContinues to be not only one of my most used and treasured apps, but also one of the most consistently stable. Sadly so many developers get caught up in wanting to make nonstop updates that sometimes can even end up ruining what once was an awesome useful app. Thankfully this developer is one of the few that puts "user experience & app stability" as a #1 priority. Which is why I will continue to rant and rave about this app with as many people who are willing to allow me to introduce them to an app resource that they never knew they always needed. So useful it will make you wonder why iOS doesn't have this feature built in by default. 𝙈𝙮 𝙁𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩 𝙍𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙬 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ THEY ADDED MUSI SUPPORT! I can't say enough positive things about the quality of customer service and support offered by this apps developer Tim. Tim not only promptly responded to my email asking for the app Musi to be added as an option in Opener but even after informing me that my request would not function if added because of an issue on Musi's side. He still went above and beyond by getting in contact with the other developers until he was able to make my request happen. If that's not awesome developer support I don't know what is..HeavyiCloudsVersion: 1.8.9

If only Apple could figure out how to be this consistentThis is it folks. This is such a useful tool. All because it gets the user around one of the most obnoxious long standing bugs in iOS that Apple apparently can’t figure out or just doesn’t care to. When your iphone stops opening app links in the apps on your phone and instead goes to the App Store you now can just install this app and use it to do what Apple can’t. It’s a great alternative to having to backup, restore iOS, and then fix things that don’t come over in backups (oh, google authenticator, why can you not let me include my keys!? The backup is local and encrypted! So unreasonable! So google.) Anyway. This developer has felt your pain for it was also their pain and they have given you their solution to all our pain for a low price. Just buy it already..Rockin' KatVersion: 1.10.9

This app needed—especially if you use ChromeThis is a great app for many reasons, but the top one for me is that Apple doesn’t play well with others sometimes and I prefer to use Chrome as a browser. But if I try to open a website and click their “open in app” button, it just opens the app store even though I already have the app. (Safari will open the app when I already have it, but Chrome does not). That’s where Opener comes in handy! There are times when the app doesn’t always work, but 90+% of the time, it’s dependable. Still 5 stars from me! Update for developers: Is there an issue with iOS 14.5.1? I can’t seem to open a Reddit link. Tried to kill the app and reopen it, but it seems to have gotten hung up..Rylet-Version: 1.10.5

Clever App with Transparent Privacy PolicyAs soon as I learned it could convert Google Maps links to Apple Maps this app became a must-have! Google continues to make it harder and harder to extract an address from a google maps link. It’s a small thing, but turning a 5 step process into a couple of taps was easily enough to justify $1.99. I look forward to finding out what else it can do. I also wanted to call out its privacy policy. It’s a very short read that spells out what information is and isn’t collected. The policy specifically states it doesn’t log specific urls unless you explicitly send them when requesting support. I’ve started reading privacy policies before downloading any app, and this was one of the better ones I’ve read..StoriwrVersion: 1.8.9

TítuloThe only way I could see the picture is by looking in my phone to find it on the right hand corner and I don’t know what to look at the right side and then it will say I have a new one but it won’t say what I want it is it just says I want it on my right side but it won’t show on my left and it doesn’t say anything about the left or the left or the other one so I’m wondering why it’s there and if it was on my other one but it says something else so it’s not showing up on my other one.Jayme DuckettVersion: 1.11.11

This is worth every pennyI’ve honestly grown so use to having this app. It is so well implemented it only takes a few steps to open in my favorite apps. If I could give any feedback then I would suggest to allow us to select a default app to launch then automatically load that app. I would say something similar to the way the Siri shortcuts app opens then launches an application the shortcut is set to. If you could remove one of the two clicks it takes to open the application it would make Opener even more amazing..Ju. C. Est.Version: 1.7.7

Fantastic UtilityExceptionally great for music! It does everything it says on the tin, giving you the control of what app you open links in. It’s the control that should frankly be built into iOS. But beyond what should just ‘be built-in,’ it’s got tons of added utility too. It saves me tons of time opening links I see online to a specific music service in my preferred streaming service! That’s a feature I couldn’t ever expect iOS to do on its own. And it does so much more..Ehler4Version: 1.11.11

What more could you ask for?I’m going on 3 years or so using this application, and I don’t ever see myself stopping unless similar functionality is added to iOS out of the box. The gap that this application fills for iOS functionality is an absolute necessity in how I use my phone. Not only does this perform flawlessly in its given task, Tim takes feedback and implements feature requests if he can. Love this application, will continue to be a long time user! Awesome!.BeeedubVersion: 1.6.4

UnreplaceableThis was the first app I remember purchasing once IPhone became my daily driver. I even had to repurchase when I lost access to my previous apple account. I love that it’s an affordable app, something that you don’t see much anymore. That is always much appreciated. The app is there during those frustrating moments you’re having trying to open a link or file on the correct app and the share sheet just isn’t getting you where you need. You’ll wonder why it’s not just native once you get to use to it. You also won’t wanna go back to the dark age when Opener wasn’t apart of your iOS toolset. It just works. Just get it! Costs less than a gallon of gas, so what are you waiting for?.Kstanley101010Version: 1.11.3

It just works ❤️I love when an app works like it says it will. This app has been one of my ride or dies for a while. It's reliable and consistent and that's saying a lot in the app world. Kudos to the developers for keeping this app running smoothly 👏🏾! While I'd love to see more apps supported, I'm pleased with the apps that are supported because they work. Keep it up! 🏆.SoflachickVersion: 1.10.13

New update bugBeen using this for a year or so and it worked pretty well until the last update. After updating I couldn't open send safari links in firefox, as it didn't show up on the action menu. I tried redownloading it and now opener doesn't even show up on the app intro action menu. Otherwise, this is a very handy app if you routinely use the share button, glad I bought it..OmarismenameVersion: 1.10.5

Maybe I misunderstood…I’m not sure what this offers for apps that already have the extension for opening via the share menu. For example, Apollo allows you to do this natively through the app. I click a Reddit link, it pulls up the god-awful Reddit mobile site, I tap share, then open in Apollo. From what I can tell Opener has the exact same functionality except you can customize other links with other apps that don’t support this natively (which is cool to have, so there is that). I was under the impression that I could use this tool to click Reddit links from anywhere in iOS and have them automatically launch Apollo. No sharing menu, no copying URLs, etc. I’m happy to be corrected if I’m way off base here but if not I just wanted other potential users to know this..Mat-tom-sonVersion: 1.10.9

Wonderful!I’m one of those weirdos that prefers to use Apple Maps over Google Maps. Yet, directions searched for in Safari always open in Google Maps. Grrrrr. But - this app saves the day! I’ve Google Maps on my phone so I can get the directions. Google opens, I hit the arrow to use Opener and boom! Opener is there for me to switch over to Apple Maps. It just works! Thanks for this app..Mickey330Version: 1.7.9

Add Bandcamp please 🙏I submitted a request through the Opener app for Bandcamp compatibility, but leaving a request here as well for good measure. Other than that, this is a 11/10 indispensable app. Especially handy if for custom/3rd party iOS Shortcuts users, as many shortcuts will only function if shared through Safari rather than a standalone app..SbtokarzVersion: 1.12.4

Been using for years nowOne of the most useful apps I have and it's buried in a folder somewhere and I never actually open the app besides setting the initial options years ago. I think it was a dollar or two when I got it not sure about now but trust me (and all the other reviews) it's definitely worth the price..HeftybagsVersion: 1.9.6

AMAZINGDev within a day added a feature request for INSPECT Browser. Now I can take safari links (better trackpad support, plays better with web apps) and use inspect to preview the console and network tabs during web app development. This literally turned my ipad into a viable replacement for a macbook for on the web app development for web apps.OnceUg0MacUneverG0BackVersion: 1.8.6

Amazing utilityI’ve been using Opener for years and still regularly find myself impressed by how well it works. Nearly every time I find myself thinking, “Okay, but Opener is gonna have no idea what to do with this one” I am wrong. Can’t say enough good things about it. So glad this app exists..CavechildeVersion: 1.10.10

Works beautifully in Apple shortcuts 👌🏾I was looking for a way for urls to open directly in Instagram from an Apple shortcut and this did the trick! I set the Instagram in the Opener app to automatically open all urls in Instagram so it doesn’t have to ask me every time. I’m so happy I found this solution. 🎉.WhelrenoVersion: 1.11.7

Very usefulYou might not realize you're missing it now, but any time you try to "open in" and can't access the things you want, you're missing Opener. It's incredibly simple to use and I use it at least daily. Kind of a bandaid for an otherwise annoying hole in the iOS functionality..NijyusanVersion: 1.4.8

Browser SuggestionFirst of all, incredible app. Does so much. Secondly: I’d like to suggest a browser for integration. The browser is called Insight. It’s great, you can build your own extensions. Opener is great as well, hoping you can make them both better and add Insight so I can make it my default! Thank you..Logan PoeVersion: 1.10.14

Exactly what I needed!When opening a link for directions for work it always automatically opens in Google Maps but I prefer Waze. I hated having to copy and paste the link all the time (only because I have to do it numerous times a day). Now I can open it straight to Waze instead!.El ChadVersion: 1.3.8

Absolute must have!This is low-key one of my favorite apps I have! It just works, and the developer is super quick at fixing issues or adding support for new apps. If you have an iPad Pro, this is especially awesome as it brings you one step closer to having a “real” computer-like experience..PseudopsycheVersion: 1.7.7

Vital functions for iOS “Share”An example: you’re reading Apple News, and you want to see what the web version of a story looks like. Share to Opener, then “open with Safari app.” Or Firefox Focus; why keep web history you don’t need?.NopnopnopnopVersion: 1.12.4

The bestThe best things go unnoticed because that’s how well they work. You barely notice them doing their thing...Good design. Good artwork. Always appears effortless. This app is that. This is a super useful app that stays out of the way! If you think you might need this, you probably do, and you definitely won’t regret it..ZKJarrahVersion: 1.4.10

Thankful for thisIOS is incredibly frustrating when you want to do something other than the “Apple Way”. This tool gives us back some control. I recommend it. The developer is very responsive to issues as well..IphoniphileVersion: 1.4.1

Not for me...What I absolutely need is an app to PREVENT links opening in apps and allow me to continue in Safari. Hate it when items insist on opening in-app. My workaround is to delete the app from my device (Pinterest, for example). Opener (gave 3 stars because it works OK on the occasion that it chooses to open in something other than Safari) seems so unnecessary, as everything forces me to open in-app as a default!.BAR112Version: 1.8.1

One of the most essential iPhone appsOpens almost every link into the app it should have opened with in the first place. I can't think of anyone I wouldn't recommend this to. I cannot use my iPhone without it..MattyhochsVersion: 1.10.14

Great app - my tipLove this app it works great. I have a tip to use it faster. Use it with back tap under touch - accessibility. You can either set a back tap to the open with opener shortcut or use it with spotlight and open opener from any app. It makes everything faster in my opinion..★ ☆ Gabby☆ ★Version: 1.9.6

The app you didn’t know you needThis is the handy utility you didn’t know you need until you start using it. For me the most common use is swapping between mapping apps. I’m glad to see the developers are still adding features!.MartinkelleyVersion: 1.8.1

Good app but two things could be better1. It would be nice if you could register it as your default browser so you don’t have to use the share extension everytime. 2. I wish it supported Steam links. I know it’s possible because Safari can do it..DR06Version: 1.10.14

Love this little utility!This makes it possible to open safari links in the app I want. It also makes possible to do it in a lot of different apps via the share sheet. This is a genius app and I don’t know how people can go without it..AJ1215Version: 1.4.11

First App I InstallA device without opener installed is like going back to the days before mice had two buttons. It may not be flashy, but using devices without it is extremely frustrating. A must have for every user!.Bfc113Version: 1.7.9

Fix for the biggest annoyance on iosNo brainier to purchase. I have no idea why it is not native to ios to open an app when clicking a link..Marvelous_562Version: 1.10.14

Help!!Love the app but have one question/suggestion: is there a way to add multiple web browsers? As it stands now you can only default one web browser and it would be nice to have options when using the app. Thanks!.Qwerty9870Version: 1.5.6

Must haveI love this app, it honestly should be standard functionality in iOS but it is not, so I am glad this app exists. Very easy to use!.Pipe591Version: 1.10.9

Can’t do without itThis app is so incredibly useful and it’s amazing it isn’t a feature built in to iOS. Thank you so much for developing it I use it daily.Sector127826Version: 1.8.7

Apple should buy this and integrate into iOSIt works perfectly. I just want it to add support for opening a link in the Economist app..MalcompliantVersion: 1.11.5

Gives a lot more function to iOS!Wow this app is amazing. Allows you to use apps from share sheet. Open links to apps. Much more you can do with this. Highly recommended and worth the price!.DarthKnightVersion: 1.9.1

Opener ‒ open links in apps Negative Reviews

MisleadingNot sure why this app has to be more complicated than not but it does not automate opening links as it says. After clicking link, you have to press share button via safari which then opens app. I spent 30 minutes trying to figure out how to auto open links straight to the app, also no help on Google. From what other reviews say, it will just remember the app you opened with, but links will open to safari, and you must click the share button, then select opener for it to open the app you chose. I ended up trying another app and had all my links opening automatically without share button in safari within 2 minutes. If it is user error I apologize but some documentation or better description to get this working would be helpful, but seems counterintuitive to have to open a link and then point it to the app, just open the link in the app directly lol.GurgibyteVersion: 1.12.2

Doesn't work as I expectedI bought this thinking I was going to be able to set my iphone to understand that if I open Reddit links, this app should auto open it in my 3rd party app. But instead you have to manually open this app after remembering to copy your link, then hit paste, THEN hit the Reddit app, as if you didn't already tell it what it should default to. Very disappointing..Lyra125Version: 1.11.12

JunkThis is a poorly designed app without any usefulness in the iOS environment. It’s difficult to use, and it doesn’t allow you to correct links to the top level URL. It’s not very intuitive. The instructions make no sense as if it’s been translated through three languages to get to English. And it doesn’t allow adding in popular apps. Junk. Don’t waste your money on it..LeftCoastManVersion: 1.8.4

Doesn’t work - don’t waste your moneySays it works for the Apollo (reddit) app, but clearly doesn’t. Unless “work” means not being able to open any text links in reddit or only being able to open web links by clicking copy, then opening up their app an then letting it launch the app you wanted in the first place. More symptomatic of apple and Reddit’s issue, but I’d have been better served by lighting $2 on fire..Bibbly bobbly127649Version: 1.8.1
