Hello @dawsontoth, for iTunes store I've found the "View in App Store" link in the itunes connect platform. For Android, is there a way to open the link to my app directly into the Android Market App of the mobile phone ? Right now it's opening in the market.android.com webpage without even showing the mobile version if there's one. Thank's for your help..
