About URL Shortener

The fastest and prettiest way to shorten URLs and get their click analytics.

Shorten long URLs and squeeze them into fewer characters to make links easier to share, tweet, or email to friends. Using a shortened goo.gl URL leaves more room to say what's on your mind. For example, http://goo.gl/n7IMF2 is a convenient shorthand representation for the long link https://play.google.com/store/apps.

Access analytics of any short URL, including the raw click counts and their distribution across referrers, browsers, platforms, and geographical locations.

The app also lets you
• Shorten URLs and share them quickly
• Access your history - always synced with goo.gl
• Get colorful analytics reports of any short URL, not just yours - without leaving the app you clicked from
• Android Beam - push a short URL onto another device by tapping the devices together
• Shorten links through "share" in any app and get rich notifications
• Star your favorites
• Generate and share QR codes

What are users saying about URL Shortener

X70%
by X####:

This app saves SO much time and many steps! Okay, so it saves only a few seconds, but it does cut several cumbersome steps from shortening a URL. While cutting steps might be anathematic to our FitBit generation, it is much appreciated by those of us willing to swap a little thumbercize for a savings in time. Just Share from your browser to the URL Shortener, and it brings up a menu displaying the shortened URL, and offering several useful options, including Copy. Thank you to the developer Mr. Devaux! I hope this tool is included as a stock part of future Android releases, or at least carrier specific bundles. This is one of the few apps that even a streamlined distro should include.

I would suggest that you can add a delete button for this because sometime we have links that are not useful anymore so that we need to delete it. Thank you so much and looking for your favorable response.

J70%
by J####:

This is incredibly useful, entirely stable, and the luxury features like saving your URL shortening history and integration into the various browser apps makes it truly outstanding.

Amazing UX and UI. A well designed and simple to use app. Only downfall is the lack of a delete option. Why is this not implemented?

N70%
by N####:

I think this shortener is the best of them all. Other shorteners require you to open this apk to shorten, then copy shortened URL to your clipboard, then open the APK you want to use to paste shortened URL. To much. Here you just open this one and all sharing come within the apk. Convenient and fast.

Fluent, fast, and efficient. I love and use this app all the time for my Twitter posts. Making in depth tweets are now easy with this shortener. Would just like to see one thing, and that's an option for a Black Theme to match the rest of my phone. Good job devs!

If it had the option to use bit.ly, I would say it couldn't be better... But goo.gl is OK too.

This will shorten your long ****. The app is on point after a long URL gets all up in your clipboard and you are just trying to keep it contained.

This is the best goo.gl url shortener I have found. It doesn't complain when text and a url are entered to be shortened. Keep up the good work!
