Short URL Evaluator

Evaluate short urls

Short URL Evaluator lengthens shortened URLs for correct handling in
Android.

This app is designed to be a short-URL unshortener. Android sometimes
launches an app if it recognizes the URL, for example, a link to
maps.google.com will open in the Maps app. However, this does not work for
short URLs, they will open in a browser, and many browsers will then just
open the mobile web site corresponding to the link.

This app will take the short url, unshorten it, and give it back so that
android can launch the correct application.

Over 350 URL-shortening services are supported!
