Does not clean Instagram links

Needs to be updated to strip tracking query string from IG links
Aalpine1046

Response from developer

Thanks for the review! Instagram and a number of other websites recently started adding many new tracking parameters to their links. Version 1.1.0, released yesterday, addresses this: Instagram links now drop the new randomly named share-tracking parameters (such as rpxt, obrf and srtk) that Instagram adds when you copy a link, and links from LinkedIn, Netflix, eBay, AliExpress and Daily Mail are cleaned of their new trackers too. Please update to 1.1.0, and if you come across an Instagram link that still isn't cleaned, let us know and we'll take a look.

Völlig unnütz!

Jede von mir bisher eingefügte URL sah nach der Bereinigung genauso aus wie zuvor. Und das bei definitiv verseuchten Tracker-Links.
Also für mich ohne Funktion und daher Appfall für die Tonne!

Response from developer

Danke für dein Feedback, und schade, dass Clean Links bei dir nichts bereinigt hat. So soll es natürlich nicht sein. Magst du mir ein oder zwei der betroffenen Links an support@cleanlinks.app schicken? Dann schaue ich mir genau an, warum die Tracker nicht entfernt wurden, und baue die Korrektur in ein kommendes Update ein.

Simple

I haven’t used this for very long but I appreciate software built just for the love of the game. It’s a simple concept and done well enough.

Response from developer

Thanks, Marcel. It really is built for the love of the game. If you run into a link it doesn't clean properly, let us know at support@cleanlinks.app and we'll add support for it.

Perfect

Love it, still the best link cleaner I've tested. And the app dev is super fast responsive. They fixed my little complaint about the text color over the weekend (took less than 4 days). Thank you!

Response from developer

Thank you for the kind words and the thoughtful suggestion! I used to wear blue-blocking glasses at night (these days I mostly avoid screens after dark), so I know exactly what you mean. Version 1.0.24 adds an Accent Color option in the About screen (tap ⓘ). Choose Monochrome and the app's buttons, links and icons stay visible with a red Color Filter. Orange also works well in Dark Mode. You can also have it switch automatically: add the Clean Links filter to your Sleep or evening Focus (Settings › Focus › Sleep › Add Filter), or pair the new "Change Accent Color" Shortcuts action with "Set Color Filters". Blue stays the default for daytime.

Very useful but desperately needs...

... the ability on iOS to be used in the share sheet and to return a new share sheet popup. Lots of apps export a link full of cruft; being able to send it to clean links, *then* to the intended destination, would be a dream come true.

Response from developer

Thanks for the review! Clean Links already includes an iOS Share extension, so when an app uses Apple’s standard share sheet you can send a link to Clean Links to remove the tracking cruft. Unfortunately, quite a few apps replace the system share sheet with their own sharing UI, often because they want to measure taps and shares. In those cases, iOS doesn’t give Clean Links a way to appear there. We’d love it if every app supported the native share sheet too!
