One App Download Link for iOS and Android
Stop sharing two store badges. One app download link detects the phone and opens the right store — and works as a QR code on posters and packaging.

Overview
What is an app download link?
An app download link is a single short link that sends each visitor to the right place: iPhones and iPads to the App Store, Android phones to Google Play, and computers or other devices to your website. You share one link in your bio, newsletter, ads and print, and nobody lands on the wrong store.
Under the hood it is a Smart Link with destination rules by operating system, using the same redirect as our dynamic QR codes. That means you can edit the store URLs later, track clicks by device and country, add UTM tags, and turn the link into a QR code for posters, receipts and packaging in one click.
The classic alternative is printing two store badges, each with its own QR code, and hoping people pick the right one. In practice many scan the first code they see. A single app download link removes that choice: the visitor scans once, and the redirect decides based on their phone. It also keeps your design clean, which matters on small packaging.
Use cases
Where one app link helps
Anywhere you promote your app to a mixed audience.
Social bios

Posters and packaging
Print a single QR code instead of two store badges and two codes.
In-store displays
Shoppers scan once at the counter and get the right store for their phone.
Ads and emails
Track clicks by platform and see whether iOS or Android users respond better.
Events
Show one code on screens and badges to get attendees into your event app.
Business cards and signatures
Add a tidy link to your app without listing both stores.

Best practices
Tips for more installs
Small touches turn clicks into downloads.
Use the regional store link
Copy the store link without a country code so visitors see their local store page.
Tag each channel
Add UTM tags or create one link per channel to see where installs start.
Keep a web page for desktop
Desktop visitors can’t install a phone app; a landing page with a QR code helps them switch to their phone.
Promote the app at the right moment
Place the code where people already need the app: at checkout for loyalty points, on the receipt for order tracking, or at the venue entrance for tickets.
Tell people what they get
A line such as “Scan to get the app and 10% off your first order” beside the code gives a reason to install, which lifts both scans and downloads.
Check both stores after updates
When you change your app’s name or listing, open the link on an iPhone and an Android phone to confirm both stores still load correctly.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I create a link to download an app?
- Paste your App Store and Google Play URLs into the app download link builder above, add a website for other devices and click Create. You get one short link for every phone.
How does the link know which store to open?
- When someone opens it, our server reads the operating system from the browser and redirects iOS to the App Store, Android to Google Play and everyone else to your fallback page.
Can I turn the app link into a QR code?
- Yes. Click QR after creating the link to open it in the generator with your colors, logo and a “Get the app” frame.
How do I send someone a link to download an app?
- Share the short link by message or email. It opens the correct store on their phone, so you do not need to ask whether they use iPhone or Android.
What happens on a computer?
- Computers go to the fallback page you set, usually your website. If you leave it empty, they go to the App Store page.
Can I change the store links later?
- Yes. Edit the link in My QR codes. Every shared link and printed code follows the change.
Can I track clicks by platform?
- Yes. The dashboard shows clicks by operating system, device and country, so you can compare iOS and Android interest.
Does it open the app if it is already installed?
- It opens the store page, where an installed app shows an Open button. To open content inside an installed app, use our Deep Link Generator.
Is the app download link free?
- Creating it requires a free account. It counts as one dynamic link toward your plan limit.
Does it work for Huawei or other app stores?
- The builder covers iOS and Android. For other stores, use the routing rules in the Smart Links tab to add more destinations.
Can I add UTM tags?
- Yes. Store links accept campaign parameters, and the UTM option adds them to every redirect automatically.
Is there an interstitial page?
- No. Visitors are redirected straight to the store, with nothing in between.
Can I use one app download link for several apps?
- Each link points to one pair of store listings. Create a separate link for every app so the statistics stay clear.
Does it work for apps that are not released yet?
- Yes. Point the link at a pre-registration page or a waitlist now, then edit it to the real store listings on launch day. Every printed code follows the change.
What do tablets get?
- iPads follow the iOS rule and open the App Store; Android tablets follow the Android rule and open Google Play.
