Description

Opener is an app that allows you to open links from the web in apps instead! Copy a link and launch Opener to see the apps that it can be opened in, or use Opener's action extension right from other apps! Opener currently supports over 280 apps with more being added all the time.

In addition to opening links in apps, Opener also supports:
- Opening links in any browser of your choice.
- Previewing links from a variety of popular services using 3D Touch.
- Opening the Google AMP version of pages, which are significantly faster than normal web pages.

"If you find yourself looking to view web links in apps often, Opener is a good timesaver that cleverly uses iOS extensions to speed up the process." — MacStories

"It’s simple, handy, and makes browsing the web a lot easier." — LifeHacker

"...lets you open links in their corresponding app, skipping the annoying Web view along the way." — CNET

"As someone who spends huge chunks of my day tapping on my iPhone’s screen, I skipped my Starbucks latte today and bought Opener instead." — TechCrunch

Great app

Simple 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.

Essential.

If you think you might need this tool, you do, and it will do *exactly* what you expect it to, efficiently and with no fuss. I can’t use iOS without this app, and it’s one of the best purchases I’ve ever made on the App Store.

Have to say, though: 1.8mb - this thing is getting *bloated*!

Grrr

Bought this for promise to open links in the core t app. I was having tik tok and pinterest stories found in safari when clicked kept taking me to the App Store (even though apps were fully up to date) and when you click open from there it takes you to the app home page rather than the story you want. Bought this so than when clicking on links it would take me to the right app and I could view content but still takes me to the App Store and long hold on tik tok in browser doesn’t provide links stated in these instructions either. Doesn’t do what I need it to do, so complete waste of money.
