By far the easiest app to shorten URLs. Affordable too.

Unfortunately - This app is no longer working and there is no support. Hundreds of pieces of content that have link created by this app no longer work. It's an absolute nightmare. We've contacted support, no answer. We have no choice but to uninstall.

The short url first redirects to zegsu.com, then from there it redirects back to site domain to the actual full local domain url. How ridiculous !!! Use a link redirect tracker and see what I mean. App uninstalled.

This app uses an external URL owned by this company to redirect into your own store, not only does that make your link appear more spammy than a messy URL, many AVC security suites will block this type of redirect. Do not recommend unless you have a very specific needs that would be solved by an external URL redirect.

Dear Reviewer, Thank you for your feedback. Our app, Z Short URL - Link Shortener, operates differently than you've described. It doesn't use an external URL for redirection, but rather, it employs the store's own domain for shortening URLs. This ensures the brand's integrity remains intact and links appear clean, concise, and less "spammy". Regarding AVC security suites, since the shortened URLs are within the same domain, they shouldn't be blocked or considered suspicious. We put a strong emphasis on security and comply with all necessary standards to ensure the best experience for our users. We’re more than happy to assist any users who need help with our app or have specific requirements. If you have any other concerns or questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team. We’re here to help. Best regards, Arpit Team Zegsu

Woefully the app malfunctioned to track sales through link that we created with it. I won't be using this app again but hopefully they will improve it. Also there is no instant customer support available.
