We printed a brochure with bitly QR… We printed a brochure with bitly QR codes. Initially they worked fine, but since a few weeks they are blocked by bitly. I reached out to them several times, the issue remains unsolved. They simply closed the first ticket stating the links work, and they are not responding to any new appeals. DO NOT USE bitly for printed documents.

Infested with short links to adult sites. For many years we have gotten our inboxes full of bitly links containing adult sites. Bitly has been advised of this many times, but obviously never answered nor acted on any of our reports. I have to suspect that bitly profits hugely from unsolicited advertisers and junk mailers.

Big SCAM Big SCAM. The Business model is that people generate QR codes and print them on their stuff (Flyers, Magazines etc) and after two weeks they get inactive. Then you will have to pay for a whole year in order to use them. (but you will, because reprinting everything costs more)

AVOID Bitly AT ALL COSTS Would give 0 Stars if possible. Absolute rubbish that has invaded my phone and prevents legitimate APPs from connecting to the appropriate sites. Have tried to get Bitly support to remove block but no help. Just need to get rid of Bitly. DO NOT INSTALL, AVOID AT ALL COSTS AS ABSOLUTE RUBBISH.

Please do not waste money upgrading. Customer support ignore you. After using Bit.ly for years, I was really excited to upgrade to be able to use a custom URL. You can imagine my disappointment at their complete lack of professional choices for a short URL as well as not even allowing us to use our own domains - For reasons specifically not stated on their website. Their accounting team, support and sales team are now actually ignoring my emails. Which as you imagine, makes me feel like we've been robbed. We've paid about £250 for nothing, and they are refusing to acknowledge that.
