If you have Xposed, you can use CrappaLinks which is easier; it works in the background and you don't have to do anything differently.

True, but that's for rooted phones....

 
Even the CrappaLinks dev uses  Short URL Resolver

I'm the author of CrappaLinks. If you're already using CrappaLinks: you can use it for apps that may not be supported by CrappaLinks, or use it for shortened URLs (as CrappaLinks doesn't unshorten URLs yet.) It's also useful if you come across a shortened/masked link in a document or similar.
CrappaLinks removes masking from *specific* apps that mask your links. This app can be used anywhere for unmasking *and* unshortening.
I personally use it alongside CrappaLinks, for the reasons I've mentioned above

Though by now I'm pretty sure he added it to his  module

Also from what I've read, xposed won't work with lollipop

Does anyone have a recommendation for an alternate dialer and contract manager either together or separate?

I just tried Simple Contacts and Dialer. They're L-style, but a bit laggy. GO Contacts is slow.

it somewhat depends on whether you want the specific layout of the pdf. If not the kindle reader is very good. Otherwise I use ezpdf reader for its editing features etc. It is sometimes free as Amazon app of the day or when they they have a bunch free.

My wife is a speech therapist ans sees some private clients. Is there an app that she can use to easily log every time she sees a kid? Ideally it should also keep track of how much they owe. EG if she puts in a session it automatically adds the rate to their balance.

that looks great but is there anything that's a little cheaper? This would be $20/month for the package we need.

I remember hearing about an app that gives regular Caller ID, can't remember the name, any good recommendations?
