Great Idea

Too bad it doesn’t work. Tried everything. Would love Maps to be deault instead of Google.

Links from Gmail

I like the app and it works good from safari, however when you click an address from gmail it immediately opens Apple Maps but says “choose destination”.

Doesn't work at all

This app hallucinates and directs me to addresses on the other side of the country. Come on, man.

Response from developer

Thanks for trying out Rerouter! I’m sorry to hear that happen and would love to get it fixed. Feel free to email me at contact@fromshawn.dev

Does not work

I tried setting safari setting and reopening safari multiple times and it DOES NOT WORK

Response from developer

Hello! I’m sorry to hear Rerouter didn’t work for you. I’ve improved the setup instructions in the latest update that should make using Rerouter much easier. If you still have any issues please feel free to email me anytime at contact@fromshawn.dev. Thanks!

Almost perfect

Hello! Just started using rerouter and had a couple pieces of feedback. In the onboarding flow, it doesn’t tell you to open the extension from the puzzle piece button in the safari address bar and enable the toggle there - I think that’s why folks are leaving the low star reviews. I had similar issues until I found this and it immediately started working.

Additionally, it leaves the open google maps tab behind in safari after bumping you over to Apple Maps. Is it possible (within the limitations of available APIs) to close this tab as part of kicking you over to Apple Maps? That would be a major UX improvement.

Thanks for the great extension!

ps - the submit contact form on your website is broken. It’s claiming the email address is undefined.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback! I’ve updated the onboarding instructions in the newest update to hopefully make things clearer. I hear you about leaving the tab open, it’s definitely annoying but also not an easy problem to solve. I am working on it though! Thanks again :)
