Hi, sorry for all the questions but Im sure they'll benefit more than just me! (I hope!) Ive created custom HTML pages for my App that include links to Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and iTunes. When the iTunes link is clicked it automatically brings up the iTunes store with the correct link I chose. However with Facebook, Twitter and YouTube they all bring up the sites in Safari rather than the App. Is there any possible way I could make my links open up the correct Apps instead? Many thanks.

I'm not sure about the URL's you're mentioning. You could do a Google Search for 'UIWebView Open App from link' or something like that. The source-code is rendering your HTML pages in a UIWebView so that's the place to start. Comments Don't be sorry, questions are fine. I'm not sure about the URL's you're mentioning.

I'll get cracking on the UIWebView Open from App problem, I only know my way around HTML, Xcode is a whole new beast to me!
