QR Code for App Download
Send users straight to your app, on the right store for their device.
Typing an app name into a store and picking the right result loses installs. A QR code for app download takes users directly to your listing on the App Store or Google Play. Use a dynamic code so you can route to a smart link, update store URLs after a relaunch, and measure exactly which poster, ad, or package drives the most installs.
Why use a dynamic QR code for this
Frictionless installs
One scan opens the correct store listing instead of an error-prone search.
One code, both stores
Point to a smart link that sends iOS and Android users to the right place.
Track install sources
See which campaigns and placements generate the most app downloads.
How to set it up

Before you print it
If your app download code may ever need to point somewhere else, create it as a dynamic QR code you can edit after printing. The printed pattern never changes; only the destination behind it does. It also means you can track every scan by day, device, and location and see which placement actually worked.
App download FAQ
Can one code serve both iOS and Android?
Yes. Point it at a smart link that detects the device and forwards to the matching store.
Can I update the store link after a relaunch?
Absolutely. Edit the destination anytime so existing prints always reach your current listing.
Can I use a different code on each channel to see which drives installs?
Yes, and it is the cleanest way to attribute installs from print. Create a separate dynamic code per placement, packaging insert, subway poster, event booth, and point them all at the same store link. The scan analytics then separate total scans, device and time-of-day per code, so you can see which placement earns its cost.
Does the code work for someone who already has the app installed?
That depends on the link you put behind it, not on the code. Most store and smart links open the installed app or its store page automatically on the device. Because the code is dynamic, you can swap in a deep link later if you want returning users sent to a specific screen.
Can I see how many people scanned it?
Dynamic codes log every scan with time, device and rough location, so you can tell which placement is doing the work. Scan analytics are part of Pro.
