About GoToApp
GoToApp is a specialized utility designed to solve a frustrating and costly issue for mobile marketers and developers on iOS: App Store links opening to a blank page when tapped inside popular social apps like Instagram or Facebook.
Whether you are running paid ads, setting up W2A funnels, or directing users from your social media bio links, GoToApp ensures that user taps successfully reach the App Store instead of failing on a blank screen. Best of all, it keeps your attribution data—such as OneLink or Branch—completely intact.
Implementation is frictionless: no SDK is required, and you do not need to change anything inside your actual mobile application.

About Glimps
Glimps is an innovative, gamified iOS exploration app that turns the real world into an interactive fog-of-war map. Designed to encourage physical activity and urban discovery, the app starts with the world covered in fog, which users lift by physically walking through locations.
Offering a unique blend of fitness tracking, travel logging, and artificial intelligence, Glimps allows users to claim landmarks by standing near them for 30 seconds, stamp cities into a digital travel passport, and watch their overall exploration percentage climb. With support for 3,800 landmarks across 85 cities, explorers can compete on leaderboards, follow community walking routes, and utilize Glimps AI to get personalized recommendations on where to walk next.
To ensure fair play and authentic engagement, every scored step is GPS-verified server-side, preventing users from faking progress from the couch. Once you have uncovered an area, you can easily share your achievements using a customized "City Wrapped" card of your mapped journey. Glimps is available for free on iPhone.
