It was never particularly good/professional, but I nonetheless bought this because it was a quick and easy solution for a problem I had. I've been relying on it for about 7 months, and only yesterday discovered that it has slowed to a screeching hault.
First: I just opened up one of my links randomly and noticed it took ~45 seconds to load. I went through the process of signing in with google. It works, but again..another ~45 second wait. I thought it must be a fluke, so I went and did the same with several other links–both custom branded and bost.link links. Same thing–and it was happening all day long yesterday, and it's still happening today.
I get email subs through them everyday. Only God knows how many I have lost. I have to assume only a small fraction are waiting around a full 1.5 minutes to subscribe to my newsletter. Can't believe I've been so stupid to trust this service.
Second: their homepage has been hijacked. It now forwards to a scam site, so all this stuff about them blaming their clients for the "malicious" site warnings is a bunch of bullocks. They aren't security-focused and who knows what their site is infected with. I don't know how long the site has been hijacked, but more than 1 day is plenty long for me to assume there's no one monitoring it.
Hello, I bought to test. the principle is brilliant and easy to implement. unfortunately the links created are detected as "malicious site". very disappointing. What do you intend to do to remedy this bad reputation. I think a little more before asking for the refund. Thank you for your reply.

Thank you for your review and for taking the time to test our service. I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with the links created by Boost being detected as malicious sites. This is not the experience we want our customers to have, and I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Please note that the shared domain is used by all users in our app and some users may have used it for malicious purposes. We actually changed the shared domain a few times to prevent the links being marked as malicious. However, because it's used by so many users, the new shared domain can easily be marked as malicious again.
You can solve this by using your own domain and app following these tutorials here: https://start.boost.link/how-to-create-social-login-apps/ https://start.boost.link/how-to-create-social-login-apps/
If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. Have a good week ahead.
I was able to set up a Boost link in a few minutes and grab some leads by placing the link in a Facebook post. I haven't explored all the other advanced features yet. But for my needs, being able to create a Facebook signup link and capture some contacts is enough. Here's my list of pros and cons:
Pros: 1. Quick and easy integration with Facebook, Google, and other social networks' login 2. Multiple social network login options can be shown to visitors 3. Connects and sends captured contacts to email marketing tools
Cons: 1. UI could be better. Not everything is intuitive. But I was able to figure it out. 2. Many features could be explained better.

There goes another LTD with our money... the product never worked properly and now not even the 'login' link works anymore.
