Links to other apps on the store not working

Hi In my app I have links to other apps like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/dl/android?asin=B00MEG78M6 Normally this works fine, you click the link and it opens the Appstore. If I visit the above link from my desktop, I can see the download page. However in my apps, when it opens the store I am seeing this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/awmqq17xu7i8dro/amazonmissing.png?dl=0 So I opened the Silk browser and put in the url, I am redirected to the store but get the same error. I want to use this method rather than the "amzn://apps/android?" link in case people don't have the Amazon App Store installed. Any ideas? Thanks Chris

Hi there, Thanks for the post. It's always recommended to do the deep linking method, but if you want to point the user directly to the URL of the app, then this should suffice. Regardless, are you sure you are pointing the user to the right link? The link in your posted worked for me on a computer and on a device, so if you navigated to it using the silk browser, there is no reason as to why this wouldn't work. Regards, Jamie
