I understand.  It should be possible to detect and redirect all
incoming website requests that originate from
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/quickoffice-pro/id889011512

This could be done preferably at the Apache HTTP Server level, or
(less reliably) on our home page with a Javascript redirect:

<script>
    if ( window.document.referrer.indexOf(
"/itunes.apple.com/gb/app/quickoffice-pro/id889011512" ) != -1 ) {
       location.href = "http://www.openoffice.org/new-special-page.html";;
    }

</script>
