Achtung ⚠️ Betrug!

Geld wird abgezogen. Dannach fordert die App eine Registrierung bevor man es nutzen kann.
Nach Registrierung passiert nichts. Absolute Betrugsmasche!!! Nicht kaufen! ⛔️

CRASH ALERT

Wasted the app fee! Crashed when I tried to shorten an URL. Now when I try to reopen the app it says processing and crashes again!!

Update needed

This app used to work fine but since updating to iOS 6, it crashes as soon as I enter a URL to shorten.

FAQ

What does this app do?

This app is a utility that allows you to create short URLs, also known as Bitlinks, using the Bitly service directly from your iPhone or iPad. You can easily copy these shortened links to your clipboard for use in other applications and track the click statistics for the links you create.

Do I need an account to use this app?

Yes, a Bitly account is required to enable the URL shortening and tracking features. If you do not already have an account, you can easily sign up for a free account directly within the app through the Account tab.

How can I track link statistics?

You can track the click statistics for Bitlinks you create within the app, or even for Bitlinks that you have shortened on the Bitly website. The app provides helpful charts and metadata to visualize this data.

What is the Auto Shorten feature?

The Auto Shorten feature, when enabled in the Settings screen, automatically checks the clipboard when the app launches. If a valid URL is found on the clipboard, it will be automatically shortened, and the resulting Bitlink will be placed on the clipboard.

Is this app compatible with all iPhones and iPads?

The app is designed for use on iPhone and iPad devices. While specific iOS version compatibility is not detailed, it functions as a utility for these Apple mobile devices.
