I felt the same way but clicked "Launch skyfi" anyways. It takes you to a login form in the browser. Bad name for a link.

I clicked the button, on my phone, and got page that said it's best viewed in the app, and a link to the app store, with no other option

  SkyFi is an easy-to-use mobile or desktop app that allows you to get satellite imagery of any place in the world at any given time. SkyFi is creating a marketplace for businesses and consumers alike to capture earth observation data to make better informed business decisions, capture life’s most precious memories, and more. The SkyFi App, thanks to its satellite partners, allows customers to either order a New Image, where a satellite in-orbit is ordered to capture an Area of Interest for a date in the future, or select an Existing Image from our database of hundreds of previously-captured images. The best part? This can all be done from your phone, tablet, or computer.

This is completely unwanted, I agree with the person at the top of the thread.

To be fair, the mobile app is pretty nice. A bit unnecessary, but other than ‘sign in with apple’ it works pretty well.

Thank you for the positive feedback about the mobile app.

We are working on the Apple SSO.

You can ask your phone's browser for the desktop site, which works, though it is clearly not optimized for mobile

You can do exactly that from this link: https://app.skyfi.com/welcome

Had to switch browsers on desktop for it not to show: "SkyFi on mobile is best viewed on our app."

That button just opens a web app in your browser though. Did you not try it?

No, I didn't.

I also didn't try the "culture" link in their page footer ... since I had the same interest in their culture as I had in "launching" anything.

OK, onward ...

Are you this insufferable in real life too? Do you harass the wait-staff when the menu says “surcharge” but you think it should say “fee”? What other ways should the entire world cater to your trivial preferences?

Down voted because the entirely of this message is directed at the poster and nowhere near the topic.

On mobile it redirects you to the app-store apps.

Yikes. That's my fault for assuming consistent behavior then. Apologies to the parent comment.

We have to have an interface that pulls in options. But good feedback and would like to know specifics of how you’d intend to purchase

The thing you are "launching" is just a web page on desktop. Don't let a silly complaint about marketing terminology stand in your way.

(and if you're on mobile, I'd recommend just not doing it on mobile. It's a complicated enough UX problem that I suspect it would be miserable and limited on a phone.)

Hey,

Thanks for the feedback. Highly appreciated.

You can absolutely use nothing but a browser on any large-screen device. The web experience is currently not optimized for small screens.

For a smoother mobile experience we have dedicated mobile apps.

Hope this helps a bit.

The mobile page just says app. It needs to add 'or view this site on desktop'. I assumed this was a dumb site built mobile-app-only because I happened to first read about it while reading news on my phone.

I appreciate you coming into the trenches and participating in this discussion.
