Yesterday, a friend sent me a link to download an app. The app looked great and the message was cute so I clicked.
But the link wasn’t working…
I’m sure this has happened to you in the past. And it is a deeply frustrating experience.
Ever noticed how frustrating links can be?
At Applidium, we have been using smart links for quite a long time now. These links enable us to easily share content that is platform agnostic.
What the h*** does “platform agnostic” mean?
It means that whatever the platform on which your users will open your link, they will always see the content that is best suited.
Why should you use AppLink?
AppLink is a convenient way to share content with your user base without worrying on which device they will open your link.
The tool is totally free, easy to use and enables you to track the number of clicks on each platform. Each link will stay active forever unless you decide to delete it. It is definitely a great tool if you are looking for a fully-integrated omnichannel experience.
We use it on our weekly selection of apps (aka the Mobile Scout) and so far the top 3 apps have been:
- Quartz: the invisible app that bring you the news in a conversational way
- Pillow: an interactive app for couples to… well you should just check it
- Moment: an app counting the time you spend on your iPhone and that helps you set daily limits
Each link is also a QR code if you want to print it or easily share it in a visual way.
For instance, we use QR codes internally in order to easily share downloadable links from a computer to a smartphone.
At Applidium, we are constantly working on projects — be it in-house publishing or clients’ work. Everything we do is aimed at creating better mobile products. So, feel free to get in touch to discuss anything mobile-related!
