How to notify people that you have been invited to install an APP

Navigation
2

I'm developing an Android app but I have a problem. Well, what my application does:

I create a list of songs within the application and I want to invite people to listen to the list, what happens is that to listen the person has to have the application installed. But let's suppose, if I invite 60 people, and of those 60, 50 does not have the application, I will have to warn in some way that they were invited and that if they want can install the application. What is the best way to notify these people? I thought of SMS, but 50 sms seems a little unfeasible. Anyone know of a solution?

I need to make it easier to get app listing and install as fast and easy as possible! That's the problem.

What you can do, and it's not that hard, is to share your app's link (the same playstore link) with the person the user wants to share the list with, Action Provider (Share Action), so one can choose how to share that link (Messenger, email, whatsapp etc).

Once you've done this, it would be interesting to have a BroadcastReceiver in your app, set to capture when the user clicks on a link (it's redirected to the browser), such as when we open YouTube link, for example, and android asks us whether we want to open with the YouTube App or not. So, if on this receiver you capture that someone is trying to access your app link (if you capture means that your app is installed) then you redirect to the app and there you can see the notifications (assuming your app has such support), including invitation to listen to the list.

Having the user code linked to the phone number I would use the following strategy.

1. Headers User owns the application

In this case the user is in his database, so he would send the message directly to the application.

2. User does not have application

In this case the user is not (still) at the base, he would fire an SMS (from his server) to this "new" phone, invited to install the application.

Note that any other way to contact the user without the application, will depend on the user being part of a social network. SMS is the only way to contact 99.9% of users without relying on any other application.

Of course, it's also interesting to send them by social network, email ... This will spread the application, but SMS is more guaranteed.
