Prompting app downloads

Wouldnt this also affect this forum (Tapatalk)?

And it might also be interesting for other people, I personally must say though that I agree with it, because on some websites it is really annoying.

I've just updated the Tapatalk plugin to 2.4.9 release and (hopefully) avoided the mobile viewer 'nag' screens about having tapatalk available/download the app.

I find that app nag a nuisance too.

Good idea and we obviously are not an exception
Google's study :
They also found that a whopping 69% of users ended up abandoning the page simply because of that.
