Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Smart App Link?
A Smart App Link is a single URL and QR code that automatically detects the user's device (iOS or Android) and redirects them to the correct app store. Desktop users see a clean page with buttons for both stores.
How does device detection work?
When someone scans the QR code or visits the link, our server reads the User-Agent header to detect whether the device is running iOS (iPhone/iPad) or Android, then instantly redirects to the appropriate store URL.
What happens on desktop computers?
Desktop users see a clean, branded landing page with large buttons for both the App Store and Google Play, so they can choose which platform they want.
Can I track iOS vs Android scans?
Yes! Smart App Links track scans separately for iOS, Android, and desktop users. You can see detailed platform breakdowns in your dashboard for each link.

Smart App Links: The Complete Guide to Cross-Platform App Distribution

Smart App Links solve one of the biggest challenges in mobile app marketing: directing users to the right app store.

This guide covers everything you need to know about using Smart App Links effectively.

Detects iOS, Android, or desktop instantly

Why Use Smart App Links?

Mobile app marketing often requires separate promotional materials for iOS and Android users. Smart App Links eliminate this inefficiency by using a single QR code that intelligently routes users to the correct platform:

  • iPhone/iPad users are instantly redirected to the App Store listing
  • Android users are instantly redirected to the Google Play listing
  • Desktop users see a branded page with buttons for both stores

This means you only need one QR code on your business cards, flyers, posters, product packaging, or digital ads.

Real-World Use Cases

App Launch Campaigns

Print promotional materials once and cover both platforms. Track which platform drives more downloads from your launch campaign.

Retail & Point of Sale

Place a single QR code at checkout counters, store windows, or product displays. Every customer reaches the right store for their device.

Digital Advertising

Use one link in social media bios, email signatures, and online ads. Works seamlessly across all devices and platforms.

Events & Conferences

Display a single QR code on presentation slides, event badges, or booth banners. Attendees with any device can quickly download your app.

Security & Trust

Smart App Links are designed with security as a top priority:

  • Store-only URLs: Only official App Store and Google Play URLs are accepted, preventing open redirect attacks
  • HTTPS everywhere: All redirects happen over secure connections
  • Ownership protection: Only you can edit or delete your links
  • Rate limiting: Built-in protection against abuse
  • No data collection: We only track scan counts, not personal information

Best Practices

  • Test on both platforms: Verify your link redirects correctly on iPhone and Android before printing
  • Use descriptive titles: Name links by app or campaign (e.g., "Fitness App - Social Media") for easy management
  • Monitor platform splits: Use analytics to understand your audience's platform preferences
  • Add a call to action: Near your QR code, add text like "Scan to download" or "Get our app"
  • Keep store URLs current: If your app moves to a new listing, update the URLs without reprinting QR codes

Additional FAQs

Can I update the store URLs after creating a link?
Yes! You can update both the iOS and Android store URLs at any time from your dashboard. The change takes effect immediately without needing to reprint or redistribute your QR code.
What QR code formats are available?
You can download your QR code in PNG format (50px to 2500px) for digital use, or SVG format for unlimited-resolution printing. SVG is recommended for large-format materials like banners and posters.
Do Smart App Links expire?
No, Smart App Links never expire. As long as your account is active, your links will continue to work indefinitely. You can also temporarily disable a link if needed.
What URLs are accepted for iOS and Android?
For iOS, we accept URLs starting with https://apps.apple.com/ or https://itunes.apple.com/. For Android, we accept URLs starting with https://play.google.com/store/. This restriction ensures your links always point to official app stores.
