I was using this app everyday with my paid bitly integration. They decided the money I paid years ago doesn't matter and now I can't use it anymore without paying $7 a month. I paid for the short menu upgrade a few years ago. I didn't use their service I just used it with my own paid bitly subscription. They upgraded the app and now I can't use the app without paying them either $50 a year or $7 a month. Which I don't think an app that isn't even hosting my links should get. The fact I have a "legacy" subscription and still can't use my bitly integration is quite annoying and honestly I never write reviews but I plan to post this here and on Reddit and everywhere I can. It's just greedy and honestly, deceitful. I paid for the one time app upgrade and now they want more. Horrible.
Developer Response Hi Chaospherenet,It seems that there is an issue with the current version you are using. Please contact us at help@shortmenu.com so we can look into why your Bitly integration is not functioning properly.All users who made a one-time purchase within the app before the introduction of subscriptions still have access to all their original purchases.

The only thing that is a problem is when you delete the links on the app they don’t permanently go off-line so even if you did delete it from the app it’s still going to be available for people to go
