URL shortener
onestore.link vs TinyURL
Why a smart link beats a short URL for app stores.
TinyURL is a classic URL shortener — it converts a long URL into a shorter one. It does not detect the visitor's device, so a single TinyURL link points to one destination. onestore.link is built for the multi-destination case: iOS goes to the App Store, Android goes to Google Play, desktop sees a landing page.

When to choose TinyURL
- You need to shorten a single non-app URL (blog post, document, marketing page).
- You don't need device detection or app store routing.
When to choose onestore.link
- Your link should send iOS users to the App Store and Android users to Google Play.
- You want the desktop experience to be a useful landing page, not a 404 or a single-store dead end.
- You share the link on social platforms where in-app browsers strip referer and break direct store links.
