Maybe it doesn‘t have a 1:1 url mapping for all kinds of urls and only supports a small subset? ### 4/5 — Good luck on *2025-01-18* All ### 2/5 — It doesn’t always work *2025-01-07* Why can’t y ### 3/5 — Works just ok *2024-08-29* Wish it opened links faster ### 3/5 — Yfydy *2024-08-22, version 1.14* Tty ### 4/5 — Funktioniert mit leichten Abstrichen *2024-07-09* Es wäre super wenn noch andere Browser als Safari unterstützt werden. Und bitte Paypal hinzufügen. Dann gibts 5 Sterne. ### 5/5 — Good *2024-06-26* Thanks ! ### 5/5 — Hey *2024-06-26, version 1.14* Hey ### 5/5 — Ok *2024-06-17* Good service ### 5/5 — Stars *2024-06-04, version 1.14* Love ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Ye *2025-04-26* Ye ### 1/5 — Not free *2024-11-06* You’re only allowed to have one ”opener” after that they once you get their premium. all reviews must be fake or botted because no one says this ### 1/5 — ahffk *2024-08-01* ahffk ### 1/5 — Not working *2024-06-25* Not working ### 1/5 — Developer has a great app here that isn’t updated frequently enough *2024-04-15* If they’re not making enough money off of it they need to change the business model **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We are working on adding iCloud sync for settings :) Regarding the other two requests: 1. Safari extensions run in private browsing mode, what kind of control were you hoping for? 2. Summon can only open one app at a time. How would you want two apps to open for a given site?

Don’t waste your money. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We are working on adding iCloud sync for settings :) Regarding the other two requests: 1.
