That experience sucks and I totally hate it as well. FWIW, for Google Maps, Youtube, etc. if you don't want them to try to open the app browse them in an incognito tab (I use Chrome so I don't know if Safari does the same thing in a "private tab") but I'm just guessing the thinking is, in a private tab, auto launching apps would defeat your privacy so it doesn't happen. I didn't try that with the Yelp app. I don't use Yelp at all. There are more reviews on Google Maps for most of the places I visit (not the USA)
