Readme
MobiLoud QR Widget Promoting your app to desktop users to drive more app installs is also a great option, for this we recommend using our own QR Code Widget.
The QR Code Widget allows you to promote app-specific features, and discounts, followed by a QR code that can be scanned to open your app install page on mobile devices.
What Are QR Widgets? QR widgets are modals/popups that show up when someone lands on your mobile website, prompting them to get your app.
Here's an example:

Redirect URL
We have a custom URL For redirecting users to the correct store with only one link. For doing it, you can use this Link:
https://redirect.mobiloud.com/
this accepts 2 parameters: ?ios , ?android. This parameters should contain a url for each of the stores, when the user opens the redirect link on their phone, it will take them to the correct store like so:
https://redirect.mobiloud.com/?android=https://linkToPlaystore.com&ios=https://linkToAppStore.com
