Description by Tea and Toys(from Google Play)
Jump directly to your favorite native apps and avoid using a browser to unshorten URLs such as bit.ly and goo.gl. With Unshorten, you avoid the annoying browser middle-man to unshorten URLs and are taken directly to your chosen native application.
Tapping short links in Twitter clients, Facebook, Google Plus, and Reddit first opens a web browser. The browser then immediately redirects you to your selected default native application. Save time and avoid unnecessary taps by letting Unshorten expand short URLs and open the proper native application directly!
Thank you Reddit community (/r/android)! I got some great feedback from everyone and have started to address some of it in the first update. More features/improvements are on the way!
Recent changes: Thanks to the Reddit community (/r/android) for the great response and feedback!
-Polished settings UI -A toast is shown immediately to provide quick UI feedback, a followup toast then replaces the first after the URL has been unshortened -Support for a few new URL shortener services: Reddit, Instagram, Sound Cloud, and Strava -Added sample URLs for the newly supported URLs -Fixed one networking bug related to weak or no network connectivity -Adds a broken sample link for testing

Great must-have app This app fixes what I hate most about shortened URLs, that they destroy the flow between apps. I would like an option to disable the toasts in the app. I would also like to have an option to see the link shortened before it jumps to the app, so I can decide whether it's safe or not. I'm hoping to see these features in a later version. Congratulations to a great first app!

Great, but needs feedback option this app is great, but there are several shortcut links that you don't handle, and I'd like an option to send them to you so you can have the app process them. Rather than listing them here, I'd rather have an option to send it via your app interface.

Complete Rubbish It ain't opening on my Android 4.2.2. Hence, it's labelled complete rubbish.
★★☆☆☆
This is the worst app, doesn't work. Those who given 5-star ratings are paid.
★★☆☆☆
Never worked I kept trying to use it to unshorten links, and it would always say it couldn't do it. After four times, I just deleted the app.
★★☆☆☆
No use. Waste app. It should unshorten the URLs selected. But does nothing when short URL is selected or clicked (shows same short URL when clicked). Not even a text box in the app to paste short URLs and expand.
