Health and fitness apps lose people between the quiz and the store

The funnel is familiar: an ad, a quiz about goals and weight, a paywall, then Download. Everything up to that button runs in the in-app browser without trouble. The button is where it breaks.

Why it hits this category

The quiz is the whole pitch

Your funnel spends three screens earning intent. A person who answered every question and saw the plan is worth many times a cold tap — and that is exactly who you lose at the handoff.

Paid social is the main channel

Traffic and conversion campaigns on Meta and TikTok all open the in-app browser. App install campaigns do not — but they cannot carry a quiz.

Subscriptions make the loss compound

A lost install is not one lost download, it is a lost trial and the renewals behind it. The arithmetic on a $40 yearly plan is unforgiving.

Everything you promised lives in the app

Rings, streaks, workout sync, Apple Health — none of it exists on the web part of the funnel. The handoff is not one step among many, it is the step where the product finally starts.

What the statistics show

Compare requests by link, detected source and device. Browser events can help investigate a stalled transition, but they do not confirm that the destination opened. Requests can include repeat visits and bots.

View the data and collection method. Use store or attribution reports for installs and revenue.

How the link works

GoToApp chooses the destination for the device and tries supported ways to open it. If automatic navigation is blocked, it can show a button to continue. Test the link inside the apps where you share it.

Nothing to install

No SDK and no changes in the app. You swap one address for another.

Your tracker stays

An attribution link can be the destination. We hand the tap over and leave your parameters alone.

Compare link activity

The dashboard shows requests and browser events by link. These signals do not confirm store openings or installs.

Questions

We run a quiz funnel. Do we rebuild it?

No. You point the Download button at a GoToApp link. The ad, the quiz and the paywall stay exactly as they are.

Our ads run on an AppsFlyer link. Does attribution survive?

Yes. The attribution link becomes the destination and keeps measuring the tap. We do not touch your parameters.

Can we measure store openings?

Yes. Each link reports when a tap failed to leave the in-app browser, so you get a delivery rate instead of a click count.

What does a broken handoff cost a subscription app?

Not one download — a trial and the renewals behind it. On a yearly plan the arithmetic on even a few per cent of lost taps gets uncomfortable quickly.

Can we see the delivery rate per campaign?

Yes. One link per campaign or placement, each with its own stats by platform and source app.
