script to check if user is on mobile and force to download app

Job ID: 37753271

Budget: $10 – $30 USD

I am looking for a talented developer to create a smart script that enhances my website’s functionality, particularly for mobile users. The primary goal is to increase app downloads by directing mobile visitors to the respective app store for their platform (Google Play Store or Apple App Store) unless they already have our app installed. This project demands a strategic balance between user-friendliness and our objective to boost app downloads.

**Key Features Needed:**
- **Mobile Detection:** Automatically identify if a visitor is on a mobile device.
- **Platform Recognition:** Distinguish between Android and iOS users to redirect them to the correct app store.
- **App Verification:** Before redirecting, confirm if the user already has the app. If the app is installed, eliminate redirection or provide an option to open the app directly.
- **Non-Intrusive for PC Users:** Ensure that the script does not affect desktop users, allowing them uninterrupted access to the website.

**Ideal Skills and Experience:**
- Proficiency in JavaScript or a similar scripting language suitable for web development.
- Experience with mobile detection and redirect scripts.
- Knowledge of deep linking for app detection and opening.
- Understanding of both Android and iOS platform guidelines to ensure compliance.

This script needs to be lightweight, efficient, and not detract from the overall user experience on the website. It’s crucial that this solution is implemented seamlessly, without affecting website load times or SEO performance.

If you have experience in creating sophisticated web scripts and are passionate about improving app engagement through innovative solutions, I’d love to hear from you. Please share your previous projects or portfolio that showcase similar capabilities when you bid.
