Reviews of Opener ‒ open links in apps

  • 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.
  • Misleading

    Not 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
  • Fantastic Utility

    Exceptionally 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.
