> Ah, the joy of having a huge box in front of my face telling me how good the App is and I should get it from the App Store. The irony: already have the steaming pile of sht app installed and much rather use the website. How about I just leave instead?*

This one always irks me. Anyone have A/B testing to back up conversions on this?

Even if it's annoying but leads to more engagement, than I'd continue to redirect people to the app.

The more questions you'll ask your users, the more confusion you will cause. In the book, "Don't Make Me Think", the author makes an excellent point: "When you're creating a site, your job is to get rid of the question marks."

These days, three questions are most common: 1. Visit the Full Site 2. Visit the Mobile Site 3. Download the App

"Hmm... which one should I pick... I'm not sure..."

Besides, it is plain annoying to see this every single time.
