App Profile: Magnet Linker

This app does exactly what you expect it to and is nearly perfect. The only improvement I’d like to see is the in-app confirmation pop-up that shows up after copying a link. It sticks around too long and blocks keyboard shortcuts on iPad with the Magic Keyboard. If you could tap to dismiss this confirmation, that would be great. If the confirmation went away entirely, that would be even better!

Used this App for the longest time upon switching back to Safari as my Web Browser since Apple goes to ridiculous lengths to make sure people have a hard time doing ANYTHING they deem as not appropriate and it just so happens that Torrents, and subsequently Magnet URLs, are included in that category! It does exactly as described in the App’s Store Listing Description. I do, however, wish that it would be updated and include an extension for Safari as well so you don’t have to leave the App to Copy the URL (It’s very much possible, as another app on the App Store does exactly that!). ————————— ** NOTE TO ANYONE THINKING ABOUT ** DOWNLOADING THIS APPLICATION!! - This does NOT allow you to download torrents to your device and furthermore, the App Store does NOT have any Torrenting Software, especially Download Clients so don’t even bother looking. - If you download this, copy a magnet url for a Torrent and then ask “What Next?” then maybe this, and torrents in general, isn’t for you. If you are unable/unwilling to do a simple Web Search to figure this out, then don’t come here looking for answers. There’s plenty of resources online to guide anyone, regardless of technical skills or previous experience.

You need to use a web site to download torrents because of Apple’s control issues. Really lame for students who have to download legal software for school through torrent. This app fixes the additional bug Apple added that gives an error if you try to copy a magnet link from any browser on your device. Click the link, and this app opens up. One more click and it’s copied. Perfect
