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.
