Desktop app is really good, could use a little work, but I like it. The phone app is quite the opposite, highly mediocre. Can only look at links, not my QR codes I created. Cannot view my pages I created. Missing several areas to view. Cannot add my links to a text (With the plugin app in my texts). Needs more work.
App shows deleted links

Signed into Bitly website, deleted a link I previously created via website. However when I open the app the link still appears even though it no longer exists on Bitly website.Furthermore if I open the app, go to my list of links and look at any link “above” the deleted link that won’t go away in the app (but remember it’s deleted from the Bitly website), then if I try to copy any of those links above the “ghost” link, the link that erroneously gets copied is from one position below the link I actually chose to copy.No way to report this directly to Bitly unfortunately.

The site itself is great. The app doesn’t work at all. You can’t customize the back end of your URL’s. You can’t see the the bitlink that you created on the app at all. Then the site also won’t let you edit the back end when you sign on on the web. It’s horrible. But the link it auto copies will work. But you can’t see any analytics or anything for it because it simply doesn’t show up on the app. To access it on the website you have to click on it yourself a few times and then go to top links. That’s down right ridiculous. I just deleted it. I’ll just do my links online.
Incomprehensible UI design
VicCube
The goal of this app is simple: 1. Create new shortened URL. 2. View and manage previously created shortened URL. In the past, creating a new URL required ONE click. Literally just one. You click one button, and the link in the clipboard gets shortened and and copied, all in one click. However, as of August 7th, 2023, it now requires EIGHT clicks to achieve the same thing. EIGHT. it went from a smooth workflow to the most frustrating UX ever. I simply don’t understand how an app could be downgraded so much with no reason whatsoever. Please change the workflow and give us back what we had.
We’ve updated the Bitly app with new safety features to make it easier to check links.
