Hi

I migrate classic App “[pokergeek.glideapp.io](http://pokergeek.glideapp.io)” to Apps “pokergeek.glide.page”  
I would like to redirect the user with “[pokergeek.glideapp.io](http://pokergeek.glideapp.io)” to “pokergeek.glide.page”.

I have put a lot off communication with QR code to “[pokergeek.glideapp.io](http://pokergeek.glideapp.io)”, I don’t can to make a new QR code, and new communication.

How can help ?

Alain

Someone might have more information that I do, but as far as I know you cannot use the URL of a classic app for a (new) app.

To avoid unfortunate surprises with URLs, you might want to consider getting your own URL, which would require a paid plan.

I believe this is correct. Classic app uses [appname].glideapp.io, whilst new apps use [appname].glide.page.

The question is more … how to redirect the Old url to the new one

Unless Glide offers a redirect option, which I doubt they will, there is not a whole lot you can do. You don’t own the [glideapp.io](http://glideapp.io) or glide.page domains, so you don’t have any control over url redirection.

Your best option right now is to probably change your existing classic app to a single screen with a redirect link. This will at least give you a few months to figure out your marketing.

This is not the best solution, but this is a solution
