I love this app but I have a small request: it would be great if I could add a short label or title to my URL's listing within the app. I shorten & share many URLs whose pages look similar but are not the same-- I'd love to be able to tell them apart at a glance, without having to open the URL and double check. regardless-- this app is a lifesaver for insta & Twitter posts, and I like the click tracking a lot. great job!

FINALLY. On the desktop I had to view pages of URLs to get to a couple important ones. This app lets u star URLs!!! Thank you!!! What I would love is if it let me add a note for each url so I can remember who I made it for, since I make different URLs for my job applications. Right now I hand write each url on a notebook because google doesn't let you write a note or any identifying info. This would be a life saver but in any case, great job.

This app is a lifesaver! I actually started searching for something like this because I was considering developing it for personal use. Now I don't have to. I frequently share links to web pages I am on via text message. Sometimes if the link is too long, it gets chopped into multiple messages especially if sending to an iPhone user. This app does it all. Click share button > share to url shortener (it pops up and generates a url > then click share button again to send via text, email or whatever. Great app! I'd like to donate some money, as it is completely free. The developers deserve it.

Every time I make a short link and go to check the data later, it shows me an error saying "Cannot update, check connection". I have no issues with my data or wifi. Why can I not see updates on clicks, etc? I made new links, uninstalled and reinstalled, restarted my phone...same issue. Not going to waste more time trying to troubleshoot, as there is no documentation out there to help. Disappointed, sorry to say.

About this app

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Starting February 1st 2019, we will gradually turn down this app. Previously created links will continue to redirect to their intended destination. Please see this post for more details: http://goo.gl/wnjomL

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
