[UPDATE] Incredibly convenient!
This app has BEAUTIFUL integration with iOS 8. I used to have to copy a link, switch over to Bitly, get a short URL, switch over to Twitter and post and then go back to the first app I was looking at. Linky is right on the share sheet now and easily switches between Twitter and Facebook (and I suppose whatever else you have it linked to). And I linked it to my Bitly account. Even better!
[UPDATE TO MY ORIGINAL REVIEW]: I’ve left my original review below, but it is NOT ACCURATE. Pragmatic Code (the developer) tweeted me that links on Twitter always count for 22 characters, no matter how many characters they actually are. That solves my only issue (which was actually just my own ignorance), so this app is GREAT! And thanks for tweeting me that answer!
(This is part of my original review, but it is NOT ACCURATE:) One downside to that: when you’re composing the tweet in the Linky window, the full URL is shown (and all of its characters are deducted from the 140 limit). As the tweet is posted, it’s converted to a Bitly short URL. So you have to do some math while you’re composing the tweet to see if you’re going to go over. Kind of annoying, but maybe an iOS limitation.
