## Most critical reviews (7 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — First time I used the app, the shortened URL led to ad for porn site

*2023-08-26, version 3.0.0*

Pasted shortened URL and it redirected to a porn ad, so be sure to check before sending if you use this. Yikes. Glad I didn’t send. App deleted.

### 1/5 — Link took me to a porn site

*2023-08-11*

Link shortened and took me to a video of a woman’s butt

**Developer response:** This app used a different third-party API to generate short URLs at the time of this review. As of v3.1.0 ShortenMyURL now uses a different, improved third-party link shortening service that is yet to show ads.

### 1/5 — I loved this App!

*2022-08-04*

I love this app until it stopped working! I was very disappointed.

### 2/5 — Can no longer paste URLs

*2024-09-26*

I tried hard not to post this publicly but it’s the only workable option I’m offered (“Report a Problem” required me to select a purchase, but when I tried to do so, nothing happed. And App Support takes me to your website, but there’s no way to contact you from there)

In any event I can no longer paste long URLs into the Long URL field. When I placed my cursor in that field instead of getting a pop-up menu the option to paste the keyboard open up.

### 3/5 — Amazing but Sketchy

*2023-03-27*

I used to use this all the time, especially for aesthetic reasons when sharing long links. Now I have to use tinyURL. my Internet blocks, whatever link I have shortened using this app as potential ransom or malware. thought I should let the developer know now.

**Developer response:** Oh no, I’m sorry to hear that. It seems to be working fine on my devices when I connect through various means to the internet. Is this issue limited to your iPhone, and/or a specific Wi-Fi, perhaps? I’d assume that it’s an aggressive filter your ISP employs, that maybe your cellular provider and other ISPs don’t…

### 5/5 — Very efficient

*2024-11-07*

I love this app.  Makes my url's look cleaner, saves space, saves time. Perfect so far.

### 5/5 — Simple, effective, intuitive design

*2022-07-16*

I needed an app that would quickly and simply shorten my links. Other apps like Bit.ly had way too many gimmicks that I didn't use. ShortenMyUrl gives exactly what I need and I'm in and out of the app within 5 seconds. Other app designers could take a lesson from this one!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words! Have a great one 👊
