This site is mostly spam links and advertisers, it requires lots of information that is very suspicious. Don't use it, avoid at all costs.

Spam/Malware

When I used it kept giving me spam notifications about a trojan horse and whatnot about viruses and malware. This website is untrustworthy.

Shameful product

Shameful product, terrible experience. You had 1 job and you failed at it terribly. After a while, links are redirected to all kinds of malware websites and random pages.

Now I have printet invites with an url that doesn't work!!!!

So extremely unsatisfied!
I made the short url for some invites, that I just received from the printer. But the link has run out and is apparently now linking to somebody's instagram account (not an account, I've ever seen before, and I DID double check it at the moment.)

Now I have 30 invites with an url that doesnt work!!!!

EXTREMELY unsatisfied!

Horrible Service

I recently created a school project using shorturl and the links expired right after I had submitted the project. I ended up getting a ZERO on the final since I didn't have a bibliography since the links expired.

1/10 experience and could possibly cost me my education future. Thanks a lot

Terrible - You had ONE job to do.

Terrible. The link expired almost straight away. This was after I used their service to send a link to a client. After looking at other experiences it's the same all over. This website should be deleted!

Can I give it zero stars?

I wish I had read other people's reviews before using this site, I didn't find out that the short url had expired until the next day, who knows how many customers I have lost because of that.

Not good

The most accurate thing about the name shorturl is the time befor your links expire is short. Had a big list of important links I sent to someone and had to shorten them to fit that much text, and literally within the next hour none of the links worked.
