How Rightfront Works

The problem with app store links

There is no truly universal app store link.

When someone clicks a standard App Store or Play Store link, the store may open in the wrong country, show a “Not Available in Your Region” message, or display the wrong storefront language.

This is especially common when sharing links internationally or running global campaigns.

Apple App Store: the core issue

Apple’s App Store does not provide a global link that automatically routes users to the correct country storefront.

This link always opens the US App Store, even for users in other countries. If the app isn't available, users see a “not available” error.

How RightFront fixes Apple App Store links

RightFront detects the user's country and redirects them to the correct Apple App Store storefront.

• User in Germany → apps.apple.com/de/app/…
• User in Japan → apps.apple.com/jp/app/…
• User in Brazil → apps.apple.com/br/app/…

What about Google Play Store?

Google Play generally handles localization better than Apple and often auto-detects country and language.

RightFront includes Play Store support as a best-effort enhancement. Actual localization depends on Google account settings, regional availability, and store behavior.

What RightFront does (and doesn’t do)

• Detects user country automatically
• Routes users to the correct store front
• Works without SDKs or deep linking
• Supports Apple App Store and Google Play
• Does not bypass store restrictions
• Does not change app availability
• Does not require user accounts
