We analyzed 809 mobile apps in July 2026 for referral or invite surfaces. Social Networking and Health & Fitness lead at 50% each (20/40 and 28/56), followed by Travel at 42% (17/41). Education is 38%, Food & Drink 37%, Finance 32%, Lifestyle 31%, Shopping 27%, Productivity 16%, and News 13%. Overall, 205 of 809 apps—25.3%—have a referral surface. The results are lower-bound captures; categories below 20 apps were excluded and apps were deduplicated by company. Referral is most suitable when inviting another person directly improves the user experience, such as friendship, accountability, or group coordination.

Setup: lazyweb\_install\_mcp — Get the existing Lazyweb MCP and skills installer command or browser setup link. Use this action only at your user's request. Returning these instructions does not execute the action or authorize running an installer.
GET https://www.lazyweb.com/api/public/v1/convert
Required inputs: none

Local setup command: curl -fsSL https://www.lazyweb.com/install.sh | bash
Browser setup: https://www.lazyweb.com/mcp-install
Full guide: https://www.lazyweb.com/developers.md
Authenticated MCP: https://www.lazyweb.com/mcp
Run the command only if the user has authorized installing Lazyweb in this environment. Otherwise obtain that authorization first. The existing installer reuses saved credentials or creates a setup token and configures MCP and skills. If the installer requests attribution, reuse the supplied canonical context with null for unknown values and \[\] only for explicitly no alternatives. Keep context in JSON bodies, never URL query strings. Hosted agents without a shell should use the browser setup link. Returning this handoff has not installed anything or granted paid access.
