### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-04-26*

Only works with a select few popular apps (YouTube, Reddit etc.), only allows you to select one at a time (you PAY for multiple), for every other website it is useless. Waste of my time.

### 1/5 — Издевательство какое то

*2026-03-16*

1 бесплатное приложение? Вы серьёзно?

**Developer response:** Понимаем, что вы разочарованы. Мы ценим вашу обратную связь и хотим услышать больше о вашем опыте. Ваши комментарии помогут нам улучшить приложение. Спасибо, что поделились своими мыслями!

### 1/5 — Support for more websites

*2026-02-15*

I sent a list to the developer of new websites that needed to be supported all with examples links and so on but he never replied, what a waste of time

Edit: the developer is still ignoring support requests in 2026 no matter where I contact him

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2026-02-07*

Every app still opens links even though I set the parameters to stay in safari.

### 2/5 — La mejor

*2025-12-19, version 1.14*

La mejor app

### 3/5 — 👀

*2025-12-05, version 1.14*

Hm

### 3/5 — Doesn‘t work

*2025-05-18*

At least, not for Google Map urls, but I can‘t see why it wouldn‘t work for GMap urls and would work for others. Maybe it doesn‘t have a 1:1 url mapping for all kinds of urls and only supports a small subset?

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-05-17*

Excellent start!

### 5/5 — Ofk

*2025-05-01*

I am going out for a little walk now

### 1/5 — Ye
