Write your post, choose which preferred social networks and Linky will do the rest! You can connect Linky to Twitter and Facebook (Profiles and Pages).
Linky's very own iOS Share Extension allows you to post messages without ever leaving third-party applications.
Want to share a webpage Link? Linky can insert both the url and the title of the webpage as required. Linky will suggest images related to shared links and can attach them to your messages. It can also shorten links, giving you access to further link analytics.
How about selected text in Safari? Linky's Web Clipper extracts selected text and carries it over to the composer sheet, ready for you to edit. You can also make a text shot from the text selection for sharing as a beautiful image.
What about a great photo? Share images easily from Photos app and third-party applications. You can also preview the shared image in fullscreen before sending it.
Share any text too! Bring up the extension, the text is copied in the message, edit if required and share. It's that simple.
Use Markup to annotate, crop and edit images inline. Write or draw on the attachment, or add arrows and lenses, or obscure sensitive information.
"Linky 5.0 removes friction from sharing links, quotes, and images. I appreciate the intelligent use of Open Graph and Twitter Cards to save even more time, and I'm a fan of the deeper controls Linky brings when compared to the default share sheets of Twitter and Facebook. I can't recommend Linky enough." - MacStories
"Linky turbocharges sharing links and images to Twitter and Facebook from Safari or other apps supporting iOS extensions." 4/5 - Macworld

Still the best way to post to Twitter
Mitch Wagner
Losing Facebook access was disappointing but this app is still the best way to post to Twitter.
Worthless without FB Page
MediaBlogger
This app is worthless to me now that Facebook has denied access from Linky to Facebook Pages as 90% of my usage was posting to my business Twitter account and Facebook Page. Without this capability there is simply no benefit to my using this app. Can you credit me back my money? If not, do you intend to notify users if FB allows your app to post to FB Pages?
Excellent addition for social media managers

Makes post from the web look great on any platform. I rarely leave reviews, but this app is a staple of the social media generation and or those who work with social media.
Probably the best way...
Benoit Octave
...to tweet links to webpages (including the title of the original source).
Solid

A very professionally designed app. Perhaps the best 1.0 version of an app I've seen yet! I look forward to more from this seller.
Love this app
Bobby Filet
This is a really great app. The design and execution are perfect. Would like the ability to post to both services at once in future version.
Fantastic

Best way to share to App.net or Twitter. Very clean and smooth. Looking forward to Droplr support in the future. Keep up the great work.
Gr8!

Very nice app I love it. I wish you all can add a direct link to text msg as well, no big deal I can copy and paste, but it would be cool too.
A step back

The new look is beautiful, but what happened to just being able to copy a link and then being able to open Linky and have it draw right in? Now we have to actually open the link in Linky's browser first? What a waste of time! It was so much easier before when the link info was drawn in and we could just hit the title and link buttons to populate the messages right away. This new update is gorgeous, but all of the extra steps are a big step back, in my opinion.
