Why send iOS users to the Play Store?

You have an app on both stores. You share two links: "Download for iOS" and "Download for Android." Half your users click the wrong one. Every extra click reduces conversion by 50%. Friction kills app installs.

Glossary: Device Targeting

Device Targeting is a routing technique where a single URL sends users to different destinations based on their device's operating system (OS). This is essential for mobile app marketing allowing a single "Download App" button to work seamlessly for both iPhone and Android users.
