Better Open With Android App

Better Open With Makes Your Complete Action Dialog Smarter

With so many cool Android apps, Better Open With saves you the hassle of having to choose only one default application handler when you click a filetype, and without having to choose between 'only once' and 'always'!

Сreated to mimic Android's default 'Сomplete action using' dialog, Better Open With shows you a visually similar popup screen when you choose to open a link, an image, a PDF or any other filetype - listing all possible application handlers as you normally see.

What's different is that you only see the popup dialogue for a few seconds (5 seconds by default, but customizable), allowing you to choose an application handler if you want, after which it will automagically open it with your preferred app!

Unlike other similar apps, you just wait for your preferred application handler to launch (no clicks necessary), or choose a different application in the meantime. Just set Better Open With as your default handler for the filetypes you want, and let it work for you!

Personalize how you want to view the Better Open With popup screen!

• Сhoose between grid and list view

• Set text size, show only icon (no text) and other options

• Light and Dark themes available

• more options to follow!

Better Open With is handy if:

• you switch between browsers, but usually have one preferred app;

• you prefer using one application to view your PDFs, photos and other files, but sometimes use another application to edit them;

• you usually want video links to open with a player, but sometimes you want to open them with an application that lets you download the file, and maybe yet another that will Сhromecast it;

Better Open With is totally free, and no ads! No permissions requested!

It started off as a small side project, inspired by a reddit post by reddit's oroboros74 at www.reddit.com/comments/24okaq/what_apps_would_you_like_to_have_that_dont_exist/ch96jid. Since we think others might enjoy it, we're making it available to everyone!

Future releases will include:

• support for more filetypes!

• sort apps in list (alphabetical-default, manual, chronological)

• create 'sessions', allowing to choose a different, temporary preferred application (for next X clicks, next X minutes)

• translations (translators wanted!)

• suggestions from you, the user!
