Review summary

Better Open With is valued for restoring flexible app and browser selection on Android devices, especially after recent Android updates restrict this functionality. Users appreciate its customization options like hiding apps and countdown timers. However, it lacks critical features such as adding custom apps, making custom URL rules, and fully supporting all apps or browsers. Problems with in-app browser handling and some UI shortcomings also detract from the experience. Overall, while functional and beneficial, it needs enhancements for greater versatility and polish.

Pros

Effectively enables choosing which browser or app to open links with, especially useful with Android 14's removal of the multiple-choice browser selection.
Allows setting a default app but still provides a choice to pick other apps for opening specific links or file types.
No ads and frequent updates with responsive developer support.
Helpful features like countdown timers before selecting default and options to hide unwanted apps from the selection list.

Cons

Cannot add custom or unlisted apps manually; users are limited to the apps detected or suggested by the system or the app itself.
Lacks ability to create custom rules or assign apps to specific URLs/domains, limiting user control especially for certain websites or links.
Some apps or browsers fail to appear properly in the selection list or appear incorrectly (e.g., browsers not detected as browsers).
In-app browser behavior and inability to control opening links externally in some apps (e.g., Google Chat or Reddit) is problematic for some users.
UI issues such as lack of dark mode support on some devices, icon alignment, and aesthetic options are noted but considered minor.

2026-07-05	Ma*****	Works well, even on Android 16. Would love to see an option for custom domains. For example, Samsung login only works in Chrome (and is so poorly coded that it doesn't even detect Chromium or Chrome Custom Tabs), and I have to switch browsers every time. Would be great if I had an auto redirect instead.

2026-06-07	Pa*****	Fantastic solution, and thank you for making it! The only way this could be better would be if it handled other open by default link types that can't be disabled in Android.

2026-04-08	H *****	I've had this app for years, and I have to have it on every phone I get. this is a must-have, so YOU can control how things open on YOUR phone, not what they think it should do. One of the first apps I make sure are installed. Do I wish I could customize it more -YES, but it does its job and does it well I love it ❤️
