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 Spot Gift
Spot Gift is an innovative iOS tool designed to make the classic gesture of saying “coffee’s on me” seamless, personal, and immediate right inside iMessage.

Spot bridges this gap by allowing you to send a specific café item directly to a friend, coworker, or partner through iMessage. The recipient doesn't have to use it immediately; instead, they can effortlessly save the item to their Apple Wallet and redeem it in-store whenever they choose.
Created by makers Tristan Shin and Anish Karthik, Spot offers a thoughtful alternative to sending impersonal cash or generic gift cards, giving you a personal way to say thanks, cheer someone up, or share a favorite treat.
