Is there anything we can do to improve the app for you? ### nützliche App✔️ Fontspitz iPhone & iPadApp version: 1.0.14Storefront:🇩🇪DEUReviewed: April 15, 2026 Hilft sehr dabei, saubere Links zu speichern bzw. weiterzugeben. ![](/logo.png) Developer April 10, 2026 Danke für den Hinweis und für die 4 Sterne. Du hast recht: „reinigt in jeder App“ war zu pauschal formuliert. Clean Links funktioniert nicht in jedem App-Flow gleich, weil es davon abhängt, was iOS im Teilen-Menü bzw. über Erweiterungen zulässt. Den applink.insta…-Fall habe ich notiert und ich werde die Beschreibung klarer machen. Du erreichst uns dazu jederzeit unter support@cleanlinks.app oder über Discord / X (@CleanLinksApp), damit wir uns den konkreten Fall ansehen können. ### Отлично приложение Angel.Kapinchev iPhone & iPadApp version: 1.0.12Storefront:🇧🇬BGRReviewed: March 16, 2026 Перфектно ![](/logo.png) Developer April 10, 2026 Благодарим Ви много!

We're really glad Clean Links helps you share links in a cleaner, more private way. ### Intuitive with One (Minor) Flaw dreamdead\_ iPhone & iPadApp version: 1.0.10Storefront:🇺🇸USAReviewed: December 26, 2025 App does exactly what it says it does with no extra fluff or frills. It just works and that’s pretty refreshing these days. However, to the developer: when opening a cleaned link in browser I noticed it goes straight to Safari and this can’t be changed. I use Chrome as my default browser—never touch Safari. Being able to select your browser, or bare minimum have the app use the browser the user has selected as their “default browser” in their iPhone settings seems like a simple update/implementation. My two cents! ![](/logo.png) Developer January 29, 2026 Thanks for the review! For privacy reasons, iOS does not provide an API for apps to find out what the users' default browser is. The latest version of the app (1.0.11), now detects if Chrome is installed on the device and adds a "Open in Chrome" button. ### Top App sechs9 iPhone & iPadApp version: 1.0.10Storefront:🇨🇭CHEReviewed: December 25, 2025 Solange habe ich nicht gewusst, dass auch Informationen im QR vorhanden sind, welche nur fürs unnötiges Datensammeln verwendet werden ![](/logo.png) Developer April 10, 2026 Vielen Dank für die 5 Sterne! Es freut uns sehr, dass Clean Links hilft, sichtbar zu machen, was in QR-Codes und Links alles steckt, und unnötiges Tracking zu vermeiden. ### Useful tpxtr iPhone & iPadApp version: 1.0.9Storefront:🇸🇬SGPReviewed: October 27, 2025 Useful app, does what it says. My most frequent usage is sharing links so it will be helpful if the UI can be updated such that the Share button is bigger (it's so small I initially missed it first time round). Right now Open in Safari is the largest and I keep clicking that accidentally when I just want to share a clean link. ### Very Useful! ⌘N iPhone & iPadApp version: 1.0.9Storefront:🇯🇵JPNReviewed: October 26, 2025 Thank you for adding the copy button I requested — it’s a great improvement! Bug: When editing a cleaned URL, entering a space shows "%20" and pressing Enter shows "%0A". After that, entering spaces, line breaks, or deletions causes unexpected characters to appear instead of behaving normally. Possible bug: When both the original URL and the cleaned URL are displayed in the app, pressing the paste button and pasting a new URL updates only the original URL — the cleaned URL does not appear. Environment: Device: iPhone 16 (iOS 26.0.1) App version: 1.0.9 ### It does what it says it does BryanZ iPhone & iPadApp version: 1.0.8Storefront:🇺🇸USAReviewed: October 14, 2025 5 stars ![](/logo.png) Developer October 16, 2025 We are glad you like it. ### Useful and handy mehujxlölN iPhone & iPadApp version: 1.0.8Storefront:🇩🇪DEUReviewed: October 12, 2025 Thx for the app. The tracking links are nonsense and there is now an easy way to clean them, without doin on your own. Thx for that. ![](/logo.png) Developer October 14, 2025 Thank you for using Clean Links! We appreciate the 5-star review. ### This is almost perfect. Was exactly what I was looking for. Meppy Man iPhone & iPadApp version: 1.0.6Storefront:🇦🇺AUSReviewed: September 10, 2025 I was getting tired of stripping long UTMs from news and other app links when posting on discord. At first this app seemed like it was just for QR Codes (which is also something that’s always bothered me with iPhone) but it also lets you grab copy links from apps and websites and quickly strip the parameters. Only thing that could be better is if it had the option to put the link in the clipboard in one click, but perhaps iOS prevents that? But this is still way quicker, easier and more accurate than trying to delete them manually every time. And it’s free, they don’t track you or steal your data like almost every other app seems to want to do these days. It’s a privacy advocates dream app! Thank you to the devs! ### Fantastic Joehv iPhone & iPadApp version: 1.0.6Storefront:🇺🇸USAReviewed: September 2, 2025 Nice little app to clean and link to send to others. Free but does its job very well. Thanks to the dev ![](/logo.png) Developer September 3, 2025 We’re delighted to hear that you like it.

Wenn das noch kommt geht es kaum besser ;) ![](/logo.png) Developer August 26, 2025 Danke für die Bewertung! Das geht tatsächlich schon, auch wenn es ein wenig Fingerspitzengefühl erfordert. :) Du kannst Bilder mit QR-Codes aus Fotos oder anderen Quellen einfach per Drag & Drop in die App ziehen. ### Works good BlackApple02 iPhone & iPadApp version: 1.0.3Storefront:🇩🇪DEUReviewed: August 16, 2025 Works good overall - I’d you to add the possibility to immediately share the link again. Just opening the iOS-native share context again. ![](/logo.png) Developer August 24, 2025 Thank you for your feedback. We have shipped an update that lets you share the link immediately from the Share Sheet. ### It just works Onkel Meinrad iPhone & iPadApp version: 1.0.3Storefront:🇩🇪DEUReviewed: August 16, 2025 Extrem schlichte Aufmachung und Integration in Kurzbefehle. TOP 👍🏻 ![](/logo.png) Developer August 17, 2025 Danke für die Bewertung! Wir haben die App für uns selbst entwickelt und werden weiterhin Updates veröffentlichen, weil wir sie ständig verwenden. ### Sicher ist sicher Flíva iPhone & iPadApp version: 1.0.1Storefront:🇩🇪DEUReviewed: August 2, 2025 Bitte noch die Möglichkeit einen individuellen Browser zum öffnen zu speichern , statt nur den Safari Browser. ![](/logo.png) Developer August 5, 2025 Hallo! Vielen Dank für deine Bewertung und dein Feedback. Der Button öffnet die Seite in dem Browser, der als Standardbrowser festgelegt ist. Auf Basis deines Hinweises werden wir den Text in der nächsten Version in „Im Browser öffnen“ ändern.

This can still attribute a click to you if the original URL was targeted or shared only to you. ![](/logo.png) Developer April 10, 2026 Thanks for the thoughtful feedback. You’re right that some short links require a network request to resolve. Clean Links only does that when the final destination cannot be determined from the URL alone, which is common with URL shorteners and some ad-network redirects. Those requests go directly from your device to the destination, not through our servers, and we do not log the links you clean. We also use isolated requests with no persisted cookies or browsing history, and we strip tracking parameters before and after redirects. We mention this in our FAQ under “Is this really local?” Edit: Based on your feedback, we've added an "Allow network requests" toggle in the app settings and for shortcuts. I hope that addresses this issue. If not, please feel free to get in touch with us on Discord or X (@CleanLinksApp) or email us at support@cleanlinks.app ### Muy funcional Porcarito MacApp version: 1.0.11Storefront:🇪🇸ESPReviewed: February 21, 2026 Hace bien su trabajo en 2 clicas ### Great at it’s job BornExplorer MacApp version: 1.0.11Storefront:🇮🇳INDReviewed: February 2, 2026 Amazing app. Just needs a whitelist option please. ### Fantastic app Bharat Iyer MacApp version: 1.0.10Storefront:🇦🇺AUSReviewed: November 19, 2025 I really enjoy the service this app provides.

We’ve managed to reproduced it and have fixed it in the latest app update (1.0.7). ### Works great. Killer feature is the optional, automatic clipboard monitoring! Likwidtek MacApp version: 1.0.6Storefront:🇺🇸USAReviewed: September 9, 2025 I was looking everywhere for a safari extension that automatically strips out tracking junk from links. I searched and saw this one but it didn’t mention that it has a feature to automatically monitor your clipboard and automatically clean links! This is your killer feature and I would add an image preview for it! Great app! ### Sweet! apalko MacApp version: 1.0.6Storefront:🇺🇸USAReviewed: September 2, 2025 What a great little app. Drop dead simple and does exactly what you need with no fuss. ![](/logo.png) Developer September 4, 2025 Thanks so much! We're thrilled you're loving Clean Links and that it's hitting the mark for what you need. Link cleaning can be a bit of a cat and mouse game as trackers keep evolving. If you ever run into a link that doesn't clean properly, don't hesitate to reach out to us on Discord, X, or Reddit. ### Super Tools ChartFreak1958 MacApp version: 1.0.5Storefront:🇩🇪DEUReviewed: August 25, 2025 Super App, die alle „bösen“ Links bereinigt auf das wesentliche.

C’est exactement pour cela que nous avons créé cette app pour nous-mêmes. Essayez aussi la version iOS : elle peut vous aider à vous protéger contre l’hameçonnage via codes QR (« quishing »). ## Clean the trackers before you share Strip tracking parameters from any URL. Clean Links follows every redirect and shows the real destination before you tap.
