This is by far the most useless app in the entire app store. Nothing works, ads everywhere and the filters block everything apparently. This app actually made me lose revenue for my social media platform of my business. You will be lucky the link even works, giving you a big error message. I don't understand how daunting it is to shorten a long link, something that should be simple isn't for some reason. Just don't download this trash.

Couldn't figure it out. No instructions. Useless to a lowly regular person like me. But hey, maybe the .02% of the population who are software engineers will enjoy it. I mean... everybody knows the best business model is to make your product enjoyable to a super niche group. I thought you guys were the smart ones.

Very expensive premium subscription that I bought for the redirection feature. Every redirect settings that you change on your URL counts against the limited 10 that you have as a premium user but you'll only know about it after you've used up few. In my case, I got an email at the end of day that the 5 redirection attempts that I tried while exploring their service counts against my account so bummer that I've wasted few of those. Sad 😢 Also,many of the web features aren't available in the app
