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.

Horrible

Can't use the app. It crashes everytime! Please fix it.

Crashes EVERY TIME

Crashes every time I press Enter. Waste of 99c. Don't bother.

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.

★★★★★

Application très utile si on poste souvent des liens sur FB ou Twitter!

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.

Doesn't work, no support, don't buy

Lots of promise, but I have only ever got 1 URL to work. The "paste" URL function doesn't work at all, nor does the custom URL function. The website mentioned didn't exist when I went there and I never got a response from the email that said "feedback welcome". I have waited well over a month to hear a response so now is fair time to warn others. Don't waste your money. (I normally don't like these types of review, but I see no choice). This app should be pulled from the app store.

Crashes Every Time

Wish I'd read the reviews. Infuriating that this is still an available app. Worse that they're charging for it.

Crashes

Just bought the app, wanted to use this but the first link I put in crashed. Now I can't re-open

Need Custom Short URL Support

Support the new custom short URL feature and you'll earn another star from me. Otherwise it's a pretty decent app.

Schrott

App stürzt ständig ab. Nicht kaufen !!!

Total ripoff

This worked for a week then crashed and never worked again. Tried to email them but the address was bogus. Avoid.

Doesn't work

Like other reviewers I did use this app all the time but now it crashes everytime on loadup. No response at all from the developers, poor service.

Update: another month gone by, still doesn't work, still no update.

DO NOT BUY! It doesn't work AT ALL!

Don't waste your money. Doesn't work on iPhone 4

Doesn't work

Eigentlich Super...

...bis auf zwei kleine Bugs:
Wenn man sich mit seinem Acc. verbinden will kommt man nicht mehr aus der Tastatur!!
Man kann die History nicht löschen. Das bedeutet, dass irgendwann unerträgliche Ladezeiteb auftreten.

Ansonsten ein super Programm!!!!
