Opener ‒ open links in apps for Positive User Reviews

Must Have ExtensionCan’t believe I never found this sooner. So much of my typical iOS usage is finding web links in different apps and now I’m able to effortlessly open them in my preferred app. Great for opening Wikipedia pages in Wikipanion, or Reddit links in Apollo!.Version: 1.5.9

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..Version: 1.9.6

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..Version: 1.10.14

Terrific utilityI use this app everyday pretty much. There are so many times when a link opens in Safari when I really want it to open in app, namely Twitter links. This app is a must-have for any iOS device..Version: 1.10.2

Most-useful, most-used app.Probably use this app in one way or another at least 50x/day..Version: 1.10.12

Opener — does what it says on the tinIf the only thing I ever used Opener for was sending YouTube videos to play in the YouTube app, it would be worth it. Been using it for years..Version: 1.9

FantasticSaves so much time and makes everything easy. One thing I’d like to request, Opener works for the NYTimes app, but the Wirecutter portion of their site does not redirect correctly in the app..Version: 1.11.4

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..Version: 1.4.11

Helpful solution.I really appreciate this tool for dealing with link management in iOS. It’s a shame that this is needed at all. Opener is the best solution I’ve found so far..Version: 1.8.3

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..Version: 1.4.10

Works great!Haven't had an issue with this app. Using it more frequently than I expected..Version: 1.0.9

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..Version: 1.4.1

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..Version: 1.7.7

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!.Version: 1.8.1

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!.Version: 1.7.9

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.Version: 1.11.11

Excellent! 👌Best "Open in" extension on the AppStore hands down!!!!.Version: 1.7.1

One of the best apps I’ve downloaded this yearSo dang useful, awesome dev too. Couldn’t recommend it more..Version: 1.4.3

It's a great app with one small flaw.It has no support for auto open in Firefox? Really wish it had support for auto open in Firefox. Unless it's there and I'm missing something?.Version: 1.5.1

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!.Version: 1.9.1

Works great!Massive timesaver due to iOS not allowing me to choose Firefox as my default browser. With Opener I can open everything in Firefox. Thanks!.Version: 1.4.9

Great appMarvellous...wish I’d had this years ago. Hope support for The Washington Post, The Economist and other major news sites will be added soon..Version: 1.5.9

Must haveAllows you to open links with any app you wish, I still don’t understand how this isn’t something built into iOS by default..Version: 1.8.1

ExcellentLove it. use all the time..Version: 1.10.14

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!.Version: 1.6.4

Excellent!Would like to add a search to find out if the app i'm looking for supported or not instead of scrolling through the list it’ll be much better Thanks.Version: 1.6.1

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..Version: 1.10.14

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..Version: 1.10.14

Great appSimple and effective. Highly recommended! Would pay for it! A feature request: it would be nice to be able to choose/set your favourite/preferred apps for opening links in advance, within settings. Because currently you have to try to open the link, get promoted to open it in multiple apps, and only set it then. Which you can forget, because at that point in time you'd be more interested in just opening the link instead of setting the preferences..Version: 1.4.3

A lovely little app that fills a gapOnce you get used to it - it makes iOS so much nicer to be able to switch from Safari to proper app quickly.Version: 1.2.2

IndispensibleOpener is one of those utilities you might not realise you need until you have it installed. I use it multiple times, daily, routing links to apps I want when the default option isn't my preferred choice. A must-have for every serious i(Pad)OS user's toolkit..Version: 1.12

IOS gets a lot better with this deceptively simple appDo you want your reddit links to open in the reddit app instead of Safari? Use this. Fed up with watching YouTube videos in the awful web-interface? Use this. I hate it when I have apps on my iPad that present content perfectly but links to their stuff opens the web version in Safari instead. This app eliminates the problem I’d say about 95% of the time and they are adding support for more apps all the time. Get it, you fool..Version: 1.4.7

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..Version: 1.10.14

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..Version: 1.10.10

Beautifully executedThe simplicity, usefulness and options offered are great to supercharge the share sheet and bridge the gap between apps..Version: 1.10.7

Open in Apple Music/YouTube/SpotifyBeing able to open a YouTube song in Apple Music and vice versa was one of the best thing about this app for me and I don't know why you removed it? :(.Version: 1.11.6

Great app & superb Dev-5 star serviceSince having this app I've asked for a couple more to be added and very promptly received an email saying ones up there! A very handy app to have.Version: 1.0.8

KelpGreat app, please add support for casts.Version: 1.3.2

Works very well.An elegant fix for an annoying problem in iOS! Well done..Version: 1.0.2

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!.Version: 1.5.6

Still learning how to use itStill learning how to use it but it seems to be much easier than it was for me before..Version: 1.10.14

Does the jobAlthough Twitter bow opens links in the app. Other apps simply still don't..Version: 1.0.6

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! 🏆.Version: 1.10.13

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..Version: 1.8.9

Just what I needed!I’ve been using this daily for years. Thought I should drop a five star review. Great work; keep it up!.Version: 1.10.9

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..Version: 1.4.8

It does the thing!No nonsense, just does the thing great.Version: 1.5.5

Amazing appThis app is indispensable..Version: 1.1.5

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?.Version: 1.11.3

Indispensable.Must-have with Apollo for Reddit..Version: 1.4.7

HandyI kept getting knocked back from a forum glad to have access much needed thanks 👍🍀.Version: 1.10.14

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..Version: 1.10.5

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.Version: 1.8.6

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!.Version: 1.3.8

Nice app, Now I can open my favourite youtube channel, video or even playlists with one click.If you’re looking to do something like me, it works and it’s very very easy to open specific videos on youtube or websites with one click by not having to type it yourself. It’s very easy to set up and works well on iPhone just add shortcuts. You can even choose if you want to open the links on which websites and set auto open, next time you run the shortcut you only need one tap..Version: 1.8.9

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.Version: 1.8.7

5/5 utilitySimple, elegant app, perfectly executed. Does precisely what it promises. Thanks!.Version: 1.3.8

Must have!This app is what should be built in to iOS by default..Version: 1.6.2

Get it fixed soonI can’t do anything for a few hours but I’m not doing it right lol I can’t do it right lol I love love you baby mommy love love you mommy love you so mommy I.Version: 1.10.13

Opener is really niceFirstly, I am rubbish at writing email subjects, post titles, and, it now becomes apparent, review titles. Don’t judge me. Opener is super handy to have on my phone, it never reduces me to tears of rage and frustration, nor cheats on me with my best friend. It always pays its round, and is the last to exit the building during a fire drill (having first made sure Mrs. Pemberton has collected her goldfish and is headed in the general direction of the meeting point). Opener is one of only a handful of apps to have maintained an unbroken residence on my iPhone. I love it. Frequently..Version: 1.12.3

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..Version: 1.7.9

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..Version: 1.9.6

Used for years, rock solidOpener feels as though it's baked in to my iPhone and iPad experience. I use it regularly, and have without issue for years..Version: 1.10.13

Great appAmazing app!! Please add minihack as a hacker news app, the current app boreal is really buggy and only allows 25 articles before paying and not really worth the price..Version: 1.4.10

Makes iOS Less of a HeadacheI love this app. It was recommended on Reddit and I bought it and haven’t looked back. Works flawlessly every time and makes iOS a little more tolerable..Version: 1.7.1

Great appHas been from day one and keeps getting better. It’s small, fast and does exactly what it says on the tin. Love it. Keep up the awesome work 👏 👏 👏.Version: 1.8.5

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!.Version: 1.10.9

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..Version: 1.11.5

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. 🎉.Version: 1.11.7

Must have utilityExcellent enhancement to the iOS experience. This is functionality which should really be part of iOS but in the meantime, this app is a godsend for people who want to choose alternatives to default apps or use links which open in the browser instead of the app..Version: 1.7.5

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..Version: 1.10.5

Absolutely invaluableI use it every day without thinking about it. Those are the best kinds of apps. Wanted to leave a review to show how thankful I am.Version: 1.11.1

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..Version: 1.10.9

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..Version: 1.7.7

Must have appA must have app for any power user. I literally could not use my devices without this app anymore..Version: 1.12.2

My fav appBeen using this app since day 1. Love it.Version: 1.3.7

Actually useful...Because iOS is so locked down, a lot of utilities prove a lot less useful than you hope. This one actually does solve problems and remove inconveniences on a regular basis :-).Version: 1.7.9

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..Version: 1.11.11
