Lots of urls aren't intended to tell a careful reader anything accurate. This is a helpful shortcut to do the basic research you should try before ever following a link in unsolicited email.

Reading all the stories about phone wiping makes me a little skeptical on clicking short links. Using this app really helps remove that fear, and says what the link does before actually proceeded. Great app!

A neat idea, but it requires an extra click for every link, not just short links. The people who need this most (mom and kids) won't accept having to deal with an extra step every single time they click a link while cruising facebook or whatever.

Nice idea and I would have loved for it to work. However, it doesn't work with HTC Sense because of the way Sense handles app association for the web browser.

I've used this twice in an hour already to check where a URL is going to take me, nice to know that a link isn't taking me where I don't want to be!
