• Auto-shorten the file URL with your favourite URL shortening service.

Post messages:
• Use URLy to insert the short URL and file URL into a new message / status update.
• Post it directly to Twitter or any Twitter-compatible service like identi.ca, shoutem.com or twitter-api.wordpress.com or forward it to other apps like TweetDeck.
• Shorten messages with TwitLonger.
• Insert special UTF-8 characters into the message.
• Send messages via Twitter API proxy if you can't perform the Twitter OAuth due to firewall restrictions.

Twigee & Twicca plug-in:
• Shorten all URLs of the currently composed tweet using your favorite shortening service or Yourls server via URLy without leaving Twigee or Twicca.
• Use URLy as a media uploader.
• Reply to a tweet in Twicca: Select a tweet, press "Reply with URLy" and a new Tweet can be composed in URLy. After sending it, URLy will close so that you're back in Twicca.

Please visit my blog or follow me on Twitter / Facebook for further information. I'd appreciate any kind of feedback. If you have a suggestion / request / problem please send me an eMail. I can't investigate / elaborate it further if it is just a market comment.

I absolutely love this app, it was on my first ever smart phone (Samsung galaxy rush), all my other cell phones: gs2, gs5 (both), my note 4, an LG Opt f7 all the way to my current phone, the LG g6. I gotta thank you URLy for making my smartphone experience so less complicated! The will most likely be my last time installing it unless I have to reset my phone because I am not buying anything that has to do with 5g (mm waves). This is the easiest way to transfer web pages that have long urls. A+

I love this App

Used to be a great URL shortening app. Sadly it's no longer working at all on my S8. No resulting short URLs, using goo.gl or is.gd and the long URL was not automatically filled in when opened via "Share" of the site in Chrome. Time to uninstall and try another such app.

At first glance the interface is a mess but after you take a minute to set your preferences it's easy to understand. I can't believe all of the services included in this little app, this is not your normal URL shortener/shrinker app. Sign into your accts like twitter, box, dropbox, bit.ly, etc & automatically share links, upload pictures & other files,& post to twitter with shorten URL of your choice. It's prefect for a phone with low memory &space cuz you don't need to install a bunch of apps to small does

Doesn't work on KitKat maybe. When you try and upload a file, you get an access denied error. So sad. Please fix it.

A. G. u. May 18, 2012     

It does everything I wanted it to. This app gave me a really fast way to shorten and share links. The image sharing is nice, even though I'm not sure if I'll ever have to use it.

One app to rule them all, as Tolkien would put it :) Quickly and effortlessly share files, photos or screenshots through plethora of website, shorten their URLs and tweet at the same expense. And the developer is fast with replies. I've gladly donated!

A. G. u. Jul 6, 2012     

on the Play store. Endlessly useful and free of restrictions, I can't recommend it enough if you're someone who hates how otherwise fiddly and annoying link sharing is on phones. I'd happily pay for this app

A. G. u. Jul 9, 2012     

I'm on Jelly Bean, so that may be the problem. Regardless, the app & its Twicca plugin are useless to me right now.

MK. S. Apr 21, 2014     

This is a great app but its not working on 4.4.2 android. I used alot befor on my old phone but now i cant use. Please fix this issue.

A. G. u. May 12, 2012     

This is a great little app to shorten up reaaly long URL's, to share then and there! You will love having this app! :) The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars, is because (for an example) I would like to, as URLy does, from an email, go into it and create the shortened link, but (here's the difference) then immediately drop back into the email and paste the link in. It can do that now, but not in just one step. It is definitely worth having! :-)

Works great and NO permissions. That's right, no backhanded stealing your contact info, reading your text. Great job!

Mic. W. Oct 25, 2013     

Works without a hitch. Lots of different short URLs to choose from. Only one I wish they'd add is x.vu

Dus. B. Sep 11, 2013     

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but there is no button to upload images. I can select images, resize them, etc. but there is no upload button so how do I upload them?? I don't get it. EDIT: Nevermind. There was something going on where the triangle button would not submit and kept asking me for my Twitter account. It uploads fine now.

Leo. D. Sep 27, 2013     

The app is very good, does what it's supposed to do very well. But the old design is very ugly, if the developer have the time to improve the looks of the app it would be great.

Fac. N. Sep 7, 2013     

Great tool for shortening urls, and upload files, like image. Unfortunately, it seems there will be no more updates :( I really wish I could upload files to zippyshare

A. G. u. Aug 28, 2012     

Imgur stopped working. I cannot upload images to Imgur anymore. It`s saying: Status: Error 405: Not allowed.

LIE. F. F. Feb 7, 2016     

I think the people who say this is good have been paid to say so. A good URL opener should be automatic not typing or cut n paste addresses in to a search box..this is like the 80s not the roaring 20s. .

A. G. u. Sep 13, 2012     

It's the perfect companion for internet sharers and social media users. It supports lots of services and lets you control all the aspects of your sharing actions. I love this app

A. G. u. Apr 14, 2012     

I use this all the time to shorten URLS and then send or post them. The file features are an added bonus.

A. G. u. Jul 16, 2012     

I wish there was an option to remove the Twicca tweet context menu. It's so unnecessary and crowds up the menu, especially since Twitter automatically shortens all URLs via t.co anyway.

Rui. M. Nov 7, 2013     

it crashes a lot trying to upload a photo to imgur. works great for url shortening though.

Gra. Jan 11, 2014     

I see all of these comments about how great this app is. How easy it is to use. I don't know what anybody is talking about, I can't figure this thing out for the life of me, I can't find any directions on the internet, and no directions on this page. Useless app until you know how to use it

eck. Aug 2, 2015     

this was the best app for tweeting long tweets along with doing other stuff it's a shame the dev has abandoned it real shame

A. G. u. Jul 9, 2012     

Works wonderfully! The only thing I can think to make it better would be Facebook integration and authorization.

A. G. u. Apr 1, 2015     

This is a must have app for Android. 5th star ifthey incorporate mega as a file saving cloud

Axe. K. Nov 20, 2016     

A great piece of software. Love the YOURLS support, but are we going to see URLy communicate with other PHP server APIs such as lessn/lessnmore in the future? That'd get it its fifth star.
