Linky for Mastodon and Bluesky App Reviews

This is a must have for power users on twitter.

Does what it claims and does it in a well designed and easy to use way. If this had any option to schedule a post it would be a 6 star dream.

I purchased this app because I found myself sharing links mostly in iMessage, Whatsapp, or FB messenger and wanted an option to share visually appealing links. However, it seems the app only allows you to share exclusively to Twitter and Facebook. If thats where you share most of your web content this app is for you. If youre like me and you share links mostly with your friends in group chats, save your money and move along.

Ive only used this app for one day (as I have just purchased it) and already its a vital gem. This app saves loads of thought and effort time if you share things constantly. I truly, only have one suggestion. Thats to develop a send later functionality. I find myself doing a bulk of research at one time and thus sharing a lot of links back to back, when Id prefer them to be spaced out.

I like this app, and the primary reason I use it is for its ability to share to ADN. The App•net API is decidedly stable :) and so hopefully not too much of a burden to maintain support for. I hope Pragmatic Code reconsiders its plans to drop ADN support. Otherwise, Ill have to find (or make) a replacement.

Can ONLY share to Twitter and Facebook. I do not have Twitter and do not want to share publicly. So wasted my money on this app. It does specify in description, so my error. Wish I could e-mail myself or some other way to save links privately. Deleting.

I use this every day and my only complaint is that there isnt a version for OS X. Update: love link in-shortening in the new version!

Bitlys poor app redesign opened the door for Linky to take over as my link sharing app of choice. It is customizable to fit my needs and works everywhere on iOS. The ability y to add a photo to tweets is my favorite feature. It is the best app I purchased in 2016.

Simple and to the point. Cute icons, too!

...to tweet links to webpages (including the title of the original source).

A very professionally designed app. Perhaps the best 1.0 version of an app Ive seen yet! I look forward to more from this seller.

This is a really great app. The design and execution are perfect. Would like the ability to post to both services at once in future version.

Best way to share to App.net or Twitter. Very clean and smooth. Looking forward to Droplr support in the future. Keep up the great work.

Very nice app I love it. I wish you all can add a direct link to text msg as well, no big deal I can copy and paste, but it would be cool too.

The new look is beautiful, but what happened to just being able to copy a link and then being able to open Linky and have it draw right in? Now we have to actually open the link in Linkys browser first? What a waste of time! It was so much easier before when the link info was drawn in and we could just hit the title and link buttons to populate the messages right away. This new update is gorgeous, but all of the extra steps are a big step back, in my opinion.

As a standalone app, Linky is a good browser but nothing special. As an extension to other apps, it is magic. It enables me to send to multiple Twitter accounts AND my Facebook page simultaneously. (Use the DUO button when selecting account icons.) Linky in Safari has saved me a half-hour this morning alone. The app developer is responsive to user problems and suggestions. I agree with Dave Barnard (see his PCalc review) that App Store money should go to support the best app developers. I hope to agree. I expect to see the Linky feature set expand and improve in future months.

This app has BEAUTIFUL integration with iOS 8. I used to have to copy a link, switch over to Bitly, get a short URL, switch over to Twitter and post and then go back to the first app I was looking at. Linky is right on the share sheet now and easily switches between Twitter and Facebook (and I suppose whatever else you have it linked to). And I linked it to my Bitly account. Even better! [UPDATE TO MY ORIGINAL REVIEW]: I’ve left my original review below, but it is NOT ACCURATE. Pragmatic Code (the developer) tweeted me that links on Twitter always count for 22 characters, no matter how many characters they actually are. That solves my only issue (which was actually just my own ignorance), so this app is GREAT! And thanks for tweeting me that answer! (This is part of my original review, but it is NOT ACCURATE:) One downside to that: when you’re composing the tweet in the Linky window, the full URL is shown (and all of its characters are deducted from the 140 limit). As the tweet is posted, it’s converted to a Bitly short URL. So you have to do some math while you’re composing the tweet to see if you’re going to go over. Kind of annoying, but maybe an iOS limitation.

Does what it says, but wish I could cross post to all social media. Currently you can only do two.

Its very good web surfing and versatile !

I love how this app has evolved with the platform: urlschemes, extension and now… text shots. This one trick pony has become an one trick power app for anything link related (I sometimes use the extension just to grab the text to paste in messages or emails).
