Ratings and reviews

I was trying to save a site as a webapp on my home screen with Chrome, and since it didn't have native PWA support, it was launching with the menu items. This app let create the webapp from the site, and it let me use any custom icon I had saved. I've tried with a few other apps that worked, but it didn't really have custom icon support. This is an A+ application.

The inability to launch native apps from links like hermit does it the main reason why I cannot consider buying the premium version. It's a shame because otherwise it's so much faster than hermit. Edit: to be precise, it's because in Denmark in order to access certain governmental sites we need to authenticate using an app. On chrome (and hermit) this app opens, on native alpha it gives error "ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME"

Great app. It turns web pages into apps. The one thing it's missing is the ability to turn the websites into dark mode. When I use my browser, I can get websites like Kickstarter to have a black background and light text without it having an impact on images or videos, but when I open up Kickstarter through this, the background is white. I'd like an option to make that dark.
