Solves a problem; needs tweaking Solves a problem; needs tweakingI tweet a lot. Probably too much. Most of my tweets are links to interesting things I find online... a human-curated RSS feed. The sequence of copying text in Safari, sharing with the (buggy) Apple Twitter extension, editing the format, etc. is a cycle I've repeated thousands of times. Linky on iOS 8 makes it painless. "Duo" mode even lets me cross-post to my nearly-abandoned App.net account. But it needs some tweaks. One star off for not supporting geotagging of tweets. And another star off for the illegible labels, buttons, and overall ignoring of Apple's accessibility settings. You need to memorize the button positions, because you sure can't read them.

Great app for fast social posting Great app for fast social postingIt's is a really handy app to publish content from websites quickly to Twitter and Facebook, including pages. Ignore the "doesn't work" review it does work, there was a problem with the App Store, not the dev's fault!

[UPDATE] Incredibly convenient! [UPDATE] Incredibly convenient!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.

How iOS 8 apps should work! How iOS 8 apps should work!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.
