I am running a small digital mapping company that creates digital ski maps and my customers are forwarded to a payment success page that outlines how they install the map on their phone (this question assumes they are using the site on a mobile device). One of the steps happens to be "open such and such a app" on your phone.

Is it at all possible to have a link that when clicked, opens a specific app (that was already installed in an earlier step) on their mobile device, similar to when you have a weblink to android play store app?

  • Hey, thanks for the response - I'm curious, that appears to do what I'm looking for, but written in an android development environment - how would you implement that in a web environment? – Spnkmyr Dec 05 '15 at 03:45

iOS:

You need to know the apps URL scheme (if it has one). Then launch it by linking to the url, for example if the scheme was youtube you would open the link youtube:// in a browser.

Android:

Open another application from your own (intent)
