Opener is an app that allows you to open links from the web in apps instead! Copy a link and launch Opener to see the apps that it can be opened in, or use Openers action extension right from other apps! Opener currently supports over 280 apps with more being added all the time.

In addition to opening links in apps, Opener also supports:
- Opening links in any browser of your choice.
- Previewing links from a variety of popular services using 3D Touch.
- Opening the Google AMP version of pages, which are significantly faster than normal web pages.

Pros and cons of Opener ‒ open links in apps app for iPhone and iPad

Opener ‒ open links in apps app good for

Havent had an issue with this app. Using it more frequently than I expected.
With built-in deep linking on iOS, you cant choose when to open a link in the app or the browser. With Opener you can. That makes it way more useful.
One of those apps that you dont directly interact with with but you cant live without on iOS.
Easy to open anything and reply customers support email quickly.

Some bad moments

Works, but with fairly limited number of apps and only works with links, wont handle any kind of other redirection possibilities lukę trese facebooks/messenger windows. And mind you cant return this app.
Suggested a new app to be added, it was not added, but what is worse, there was no response to my email. For me the app is useless.
The purpose of this app or how to use it. Why not just open links in Safari? No way to contact developer to inquire, so unfortunately I must leave a negative review. Please explain in greater detail what this app is supposed to do and how it works. Then I will rate higher.
it is possible I am using the Application incorrectly but so far after 20 attempts I have found that it opens nothing on my phone.
This app is the missing link between the web and native app experiences. Honestly, this functionality wouldnt look out of place as a core OS feature…
I hate when app links open in a browser. Its always a pain or a hack to open a link like an Instagram in app. This makes it so easy.
