Your APPs are AWESOME !!!!

I am using your LINUX, Windows, and IOS Apps and they ROCK !!!

On my iPhone 6S+ (IOS 9.2.1) I use a launcher app called "launcher" from Cromulent Labs. Launcher integrates into the IOS "Today" and allows icons to be created for direct launching of IOS apps. For example - I have an ICON in Launcher for Cisco AnyConnect so I can easily and directly bring up the AnyConnect APP and then choose what location I want to connect to for my work VPN. I use OpenVPN Access Server on my Home Linux computer, and both of your client apps - one on my Windows Surface Tablet and your IOS client app. I tried to link OpenVPN Connect in IOS to launcher in IOS and it did not work. I filled out a request on Cromulents site to add OpenVPN to their app and I got this message from them:

"Sorry, this app does not support launching by third party apps. Please contact the developer of 'OpenVPN Connect' and ask them to add a custom URL scheme."

So can please add custom URL scheme to your IOS App !!!!

In my case I only need to launch your app - I do not need to directly link to any particular connection.

THanks,
