Open Link With...
Free AppAbout Open Link With...
Share the current web page when you are in a browser to open with another app!
Did it ever happen to you? You click a link (let's say Youtube link) and the system does not ask you anything and opens the link in the browser. And you are stuck in Youtube web page instead of watching the video in the native app.
There are 2 options for you. You either watch the video in the web or you remember the name of the video and search it in the app. Well, not anymore.
With OpenLinkWith, you can share any webpage with it and it will ask you which applications to open the link with.
Although the original intent of the application is to direct web pages to apps, it can even be used to switch between apps. Imagine you have 2 Twitter clients in your phone. You can open a tweet in the official Twitter application and then switch to an another app with the same tweet opened. Cool, hah?
Although the problem discovered above is not huge, it is missing in the Android ecosystem. And I couldn't find anything doing this. So I wrote one. :)
If you find yourself sharing the same url over and over, you can use "Add to Home Screen" feature to add your favorite link from your favorite app to your home screen.
I hope you find this useful. Please help me by trying it and sending feedback to me.
Note:
The app uses internet to:
- Send crash reports
- Resolve redirects of shortened links
- Find the title of the link while using "Add to Home Screen"
The application is open source and the source can be found here:

Didn't give me the option for "always." Only opens the exact link you've already set for the app. For YT in chrome, I can simply hit the options tab in YT and hit "Desktop" and it opens in the app. So this is useless to me.

App suddenly stopped working. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but when I try to share link with all I see is chrome Firefox and another browser. I can't get any links to open in their correct app. I followed the instructions to the T and still cannot get it to work properly. I really liked this app but now it's useless.

Got it so Instagram links would be opened in the Instagram app. Instead, Instagram links are opened in the browser, which defeats the purpose. May be Instagram's fault, not this app's.

Jellybean Run Time support, love it! This could be dropped into BlackBerry world and charged for as a Droid port like most now a days in blackberry world as it allows us to go to the blackberry browsers by sharing the link from it. Just wish the other open link with 2nd option we could choose our programs to add that we want it to show in its own android like window that says always or just once as it just takes to browser always at least on my end but that is good enough for 5 stars. Show BAR Files & .apks

Would love for it to work with pixiv links. Apparently my Pixiv app isn't picking up the links opened by Chrome, and so no redirection to the app. This share app doesn't work either, so must be Pixiv's fault somewhere and not this app.

Doesn't work with Amazon shopping app. Also, took me a while to figure out that "share a link" was referring to a function within the browser. You really should provide instructions in the app description. Not everyone knows what it means to "share a link". I've actually NEVER had to do it beofre... and I've used Chrome android for years. Never needed to do it before now.

This app don't work with Whatsapp. If i want to open a link, for example a facebook link, i must open open that link on browser, than copy that and share with "Open Link With..." than i can choose Facebook app, later i must clean browser (Firefox in my case) tab. So if i do that for 20 fb link i got 20 brower tab open, it's not user friendly...

Very useful app, saves time. Intuitively provides the option for opening the shared link with the most appropriate app (Imgur, YouTube, Pinterest, Reddit etc.) along with the available browsers. Added to my "Must Have Apps" list.
