Bitly: Connections Platform Reviews

by GrimDivine

The site itself is great. Bitly doesn’t work at all. You can’t customize the back end of your URL’s. You can’t see the the bitlink that you created on Bitly at all. Then the site also won’t let you edit the back end when you sign on on the web. It’s horrible. But the link it auto copies will work. But you can’t see any analytics or anything for it because it simply doesn’t show up on Bitly . To access it on the website you have to click on it yourself a few times and then go to top links. That’s down right ridiculous. I just deleted it. I’ll just do my links online.

I am unable to Sign up for Bitly. No matter what combination my wife or I use, it always gives the error or “ user name must be between 4 am 16 letters and numbers”

I used to love Bitly years ago. Now that I have to creat an account I’m not able to get in. I keep getting a message that the usernames I’ve attempted to use are already being used.

1 year everything worked great. 140+ just stopped working. I can’t use any that I’ve created and this is the ONLY way your support team can be reached. The website chat only responds to business emails. So what do I do now??? Start all over from scratch with a competitor??? Wish I didn’t have to. But there’s no one to answer my questions.

It’s too bad that this free service that I paid nothing for is really going down the tubes. I try to log in on Bitly and it says “Failed to connect to server, please try again.” Yet, I get the text message for 2-factor authentication, so SOMETHING is working but disconnected. Tried customer service on Twitter. It gave me garbage.

For a little while it worked just fine, but then suddenly all future links I attempted to shorten, we not acknowledged as working links and were not “valid”

None worked.
I tried to delete and reinstall,
and yes, I’m up to date.

I’ve tried so many times t shorten links in the mobile app and it never works anymore. It used to buy hasn’t for the past 6 months or so. Shortening links is literally the only purpose of Bitly. 👎🏽

I tried downloading on 2 devices now. Cannot log in with facebook, which is where I have all my links connected to.

Spits back “Facebook Authentication Failed” without even opening up Bitly . It’s immediate.

Fix this.

Yes it will shorten your links but the internet looks at it as a spam link. I have a mobile phone app and it won’t even allow the link to be sent thru text. I placed it on my Facebook & fb shut my ad down saying I was using spam as a link. Not good. For that reason I’ll be finding another shortener to use.

Hmmmm .... Isn’t that a common need of literally the core feature?

I’ve always used this app to shorten my links, and now with Bitly , I can easily shorten links and see the metrics behind them. Product works just like the desktop version but way more convenient!

This platform is fantastic! I can easily shorten my links for any marketing campaign I am looking to run. I am going to start using this app links for SMS too!

Helps me keep links handy, I can copy and paste them into other apps with a few taps. Nice to know how many clicks they have, too.

I was honestly surprised to see such a low rating as I've never had an issue before. Shortening links and tracking analytics has always worked perfectly for me!

Love Bitly ! It makes it so much easier for me to share links and get live data while I’m not by my computer. Definitely recommend it for all this app users.

Very happy to have Bitly. Fast intuitive and much more professional not to have a mile long link for insta and various other things. Appreciate that it lists them out and gives some stats! Well done!

I used to be able to create custom bitlinks, but it appears that option is gone.

by ColoradoBirdGal

Bitly used to work like a charm. For the past month when I create a new short link Bitly states “cannot retrieve link information” every time.
