Description

URL evaluator for android - 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!

The code is open source and available on github: http://git.io/oRGECw

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

5 ★Great app. I used to use an xposed module for this, but since google keeps making android more restrictive that isnt an option anymore. keep up the good work
4 ★Https:ta.m.wikipedia wiki
5 ★Thanx so much.. Now i can open my 7ways navigation from Google maps with this
5 ★Don't get me wrong, this app is great and solves the problem of short URLs. The reason why I'm saying that it shouldn't exist is that android itself should know how to correctly parse short URLs for specific apps and not just open it in a browser :) Anyway, until android sorts it out, this app is great :)
3 ★It does as it says, and unshortens the URL, but after it unshortens it, it still auto launches the site anyway. Should be optional not automatic.
5 ★…when I had the idea to search Play in case someone already had the same idea. Merci beaucoup!
5 ★Does what it says!
