Would it be better to set it up so that it opens in Safari. I also have a Facebook page for the app and set it up to open in the Facebook app. Title Comments On my app, I have on the contact page a link that opens up to my app website.

Facebook is a bit different though, gets you into the more comprehensive app rather than watered down in the browser.

Skyr0s Code is Art Posts: 196 Reg: Jan 26, 2012 Hong Kong 4,310	03/13/12 05:34 AM (13 years ago) I totally agree with MacApple on this point. Staying inside the app avoids having to multitask back, or return to the home button to open the app again... However, it must be said that there is one slight issue with the Custom URL Plug-In: you do not have a "back" button that brings you back to the previously browser page. Clicking on the back button will make you exit the Plug-in (or in the case of the plug-in being the tab, it will bring you back to the original URL page). Good luck in your choice; I hope I was clear enough ! Anthony Comments I totally agree with MacApple on this point.
