Is there a way to determine if a visitor is viewing our site as a web app on their home screen or regularly through safari on ipad?

I figured it out:
Make sure proper web app meta info is there:
<head>
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" />
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style" content="black" />
Then add this script
<script>
if (window.navigator.standalone == true) {
document.write('<p>Welcome Home</p>');
}else{
document.write('<p>Tap the + button and choose "Add to Home Screen"</p>');
document.write('<link rel="apple-touch-icon-precomposed" href="[email protected]"/>');
}
</script>
</head>
So, window.navigator.standalone will be true IF they are viewing in the fullscreen web app mode. Super.
