Re:Director for Android
Makes opening files much easier than the stock approach when you don't always use the same app. On negative point is it should include a wider range of file types - for me I need documents as well as PDF
Love this app as I use Link Bubble to open lots of links on Twitter but don't always want to use it. Very handy
I use this app in conjunction with flynx browser and chrome... For opening links from Twitter. I can decide to open it now in Chrome or open it in flynx and see the link later
Similar to Windows functionality, easy to understand, simple and effective, a long waited for app and now a must and part of my favs
I use different browsers and video players for different purposes and this simple handler makes that so much easier.
I've been looking for something like this forever. Nice implementation. Looking forward to more file type associations.
This will make your Android smarter and easier to use when it comes with sharing data between applications.
The app has proved useful to me and I like the improvements the developer has made.
This app is incredible and might be the best android modification possible. Incredibly it doesn't even need root access! Having more recognized activities would be great, too.
Set-and-forget improvement to android. Things like this show why I can't ever go back to an iPhone again.
Very helpful app, after selecting the default apps i wish there is an option to test. Thank you developer
For some reason ,my Note 4's open with notification kept showing, installing this app fixed my annoyances.
Great app! Got a crash recently clicking on a link in an email. Sent bug report to dev, got a mail back within a day saying it was reproduced and now fixed for the next release. Excellent!
Works great and let's you choose default apps with greater ease and with more options. Had a minor bug and the creator responded almost immediately himself to figure out the problem and fix it.
Fantastic idea well executed. this should be part of Android. If there was a paid version, I would pay several dollars for it. (Hate writing a review only because it pushes Demaurio Fletcher's brilliant review down the list..)
Saved me to hassle of having to delete a default application just to switch video players. Sometimes I was a floating player, and sometimes I want it in my TV through HDMI. Thanks. Just made my Samsung Galaxy Note5 better.
Makes it easy to use different browsers depending on purpose of opening a link. Have not tried other file types yet but I'm optimistic. Developer is very responsive.
I love the concept and the fact the fact that it's so easy to setup. Great work done. Would love to see a fancier version of this
This should be how it is by default on android. Anyone on marshmallow bear in mind you have to set open with as the browser default in the android settings first.
This is huge for my phone. One of my first downloads when I switched to Android, and it is a big plus for the OS!! This should definitely be the stock feature for app defaults. The developer is super responsive to feedback! He responded with a bug fix to a problem I was having in just one day!
This app simplifies things a lot. I like having options, I don't like having to choose every time. This app helps perfectly with that. Great stuff.
Really awesome for a first release and hoping for improvements for other intents over time. Just what Android's Open With needed.
I beta tested this app, fantastic! I like a selection when I'm doing anything on my tablet, I don't like to have to choose on the normal tasks. Love that this let's you set your usual app, but gives you the option to pick another.
Works perfectly, and is a must have for anyone with a Samsung phone where they stopped giving the option of 'open just once
Excellent app to manage what apps do what by default. Works well on all my Nexus devices.
One of those apps miss by many top ten list, oppose to those endorse apps, this is a great app. Great, great Great
Like everyone else has said this should be a non issue. Will probably be set in Android L when it comes out some time soon ~
I have been looking for this exact solution for some time now. This functionality really should be baked into the OS... Pay attention Google!
One of my can't live without it apps. Makes it super easy every day to deal with every different photo, webpage, and file type. The system android should have had built in. Can't wait for more default types of web links.
More settings & customization options would be appreciated. Looking forward to future updates.
Thank you for making this. You'd expect this to be part of the OS. Great app. 5 stars.
This app makes link handing so much easier. I have 2 main browsers that I use (CM stock browser and Flynx) and setting this as the default makes it easy to switch back and forth depending on how I want to open the link
This is just what Android needed. Only one request is the support for the cameras. Looking forward to more innovation over time. Great app.
Finally something that overrides the default application for this! And it works like a charm too!
I think my only request would be for this app to include a lollipop-based view (where the app switching panel shows up at the bottom of the screen a la 5.0, as opposed to the pop-up window from 4.4 and earlier)
Can't seem to set up a preferred app for youtube links in particular, though...
Just like link bubble app, this app understands the need of android OS. Simple, smooth and useful app
Seriously does its job. It's easier to choose default programs for every file I open. Would recommend this app to everyone.
This app has become such a necessity for me, I definitely can't do without it. So much better than the stock way of dealing with defaults.

Excellent app. Let's you choose a waiting period of a couple of seconds before choosing your default app, so you can deviate from the default without much hassle.
