Shortly is an easy-to-use utility that lets you create short URLs (Bitlinks) with your iPhone or iPad using the Bitly service. You can copy these links to the clipboard for use in other iPhone applications. Once you've created your Bitlink and pressed the button to put it on the clipboard, you can launch another application, click anywhere you can enter text and select Paste — it's that simple! Additionally you can track the click statistics for Bitlinks you create in the app, or Bitlinks you've shortened on the Bitly website with helpful charts and metadata. There is also a Bitlink lookup tool, so you can enter in a Bitlink you've found and see who created it, including the number of global clicks it has received this week. The app requires a Bitly account to enable the URL shortening and tracking features. If you don't have an account, signing up is easy and free. Just click on the Account tab in the app and click the button to get a new account. There are 3D Touch actions on the app icon, so just force press the icon from your home screen to quickly jump to features within the app. Auto Shorten feature: If you go into the Settings screen and turn this on, the Shortly app will look on the clipboard when it launches, and if it finds a valid URL there, it will automatically shorten it and place the Bitlihnk on the clipboard at the same time. We have spent a lot of time making Shortly simple and easy to use. If you should ever have problems or questions or feature suggestions, please e-mail us at [email protected].
Horrible
Can't use the app. It crashes everytime! Please fix it.
Money
I want my money back now!
Terrible
Does not do what the description says. Cannot login with API number. Won't track links I've made. Wish I hadn't spent the dollar.
Waste of money... Read why
I have about 55 apps on my phone for business use and thought this would be a good addition. WRONG! 1. The tracking is only for URL the application creates not the ones you already have in but.ly 2. The login with API does nothing! 3. Tried to paste a URL in the app and it said the URL was too short???? What? Don't buy
Horrible
I thought this app would be the integrated solution to my URL shortening nightmare. I was wrong. If this app were an object, it'd be a paper weight.
Other reviewers are right - crashes on the first try
Decided to give the developer benefit of the doubt. My bad. Install and startup went smoothly. Shortened my first URL and the app quit abruptly. Until the developer decides to address this, stay away.
Crashes Every Time
Wish I'd read the reviews. Infuriating that this is still an available app. Worse that they're charging for it.
