They should do this for all kind of pop-ups and interstitials regardless of size, intrusiveness, platform and "removability". Apparently there's a meta-tag for iOS apps (apple-itunes-app) and Windows Phone, but none for Android. The big problem with most of these prompts is that they come when you visit a page for the first time. Instead you could mention your app and newsletter in a sidebar, menu or footer of the page where I'm gonna see it and eventually use when I visit the page more often. Why do people think I want to install an app, subscribe to a newsletter, do a survey, etc before even reading the very first article on that site? Where does this "logic" come from? Are there any stats on these kinds of things? I bet there's a 99+% chance people just click it away. Why is annoying users such a big thing today?
