Short URL Resolver
Free AppAbout Short URL Resolver
Short URL Resolver handles the short URLs typically used in social networks: t.co, goo.gl, bit.ly, etc.
Why would you need a (big) web browser to open link that sends you to a Youtube video. Click this youtube link on your Android phone: http://bit.ly/10xGRnq (Then try again after installing this app to see the difference).
Sure, there are other apps that do this, but I think mine has unique features:
* Doesn't get in the way: It's small (~700kb). Minimal, but useful, user interface. Does exactly 1 thing and does it right.
* Handles Facebook's external links. Tired of launching the browser to open a m.facebook.com?l.php URL? No more.
* Handles Youtube's attribution links. These should be handled by the Youtube app (Google's fault). Short URL Resolver handles them for you, so you get to see the video on the Youtube app. No browser involved.
* Handles Tapatalk api click links.
* Handles google.com/url links, used in the Play Store for links in the description.
* Partial support for adf.ly.
Also, it's free, and ad-free. You can make an in-app donation if you feel it's worth it.
It doesn't use any third party service for resolving the URLs. The basic principle is making an HTTP request and determining where it's being redirected.
It's my first public Android App, but I think it's the best of its kind (you can try and prove me wrong X-D)
*Thanks for the comments and the reviews!*

This is the best app I have found for resolving url's. It supports sites than other apps I've used & the developer is always updating the app to work with more more. It lets you choose which app to use when opening links from tapatalk, & Facebook, open links in YouTube app...

Cont' thx to the Dev, whom I've supported w/$ 3x since the dawn of this app - from other, older devices & two accounts. Having Analytics, URL history & memory cache "disabled", I'm repelled the app tracks/alerts me to donate, again, after "successfully" resolving 100+ URL. The fact not all URL resolve, that development is heir to large lapses, & the app often fails to appear in the context menu, I overlook as the app is still good in general. Tracking is loathsome tho! How much longer & more do I owe?

This app works and works great. It's my default app for redirected links like in official Twitter and Google Play apps. I used to have 2 shortener apps but with recent updates this app is all I need.

Works perfectly, minimum hassle, very lightweight and just the needed permissions. That's 5 stars in my book. Also the developer is very responsive to adding new shortener services.

The last update brought big performance bonuses to this app. URL handling, virtually seamless. I like the ability to open resolved directs on an individual basis in the browser or app of my choosing. A Fast, Efficient and Intuitive tool! Thanks to the Dev!
