Yelp is so annoying on this front. Click on a review and you have to scroll past a full page suggestion to open it in their app. Then to read reviews they have a "Read more reviews" button, but if you click that it takes you to the app store to install their app. If you click "close" you can actually read reviews.

Yelp is now in the position where I won't even visit their site, but only scan previews from maps/google/etc. So they went from showing me an apparently low value web ad to showing me no ads.

Yes, it is horrible. I have started to populate and use Google Reviews for this reason. If I am desperate enough to need to read Yelp reviews on my phone, I enable 'Desktop Mode' and then Yelp shows the reviews without trying to coerce me into installing their app. So sad.
