There is a lot of terrible mobile websites out there, but some how I manage to get by. I simply refuse to have a mobile/native app for every website that is out there that I use. My mobile screen would be full to the brim with icons.
As it stands, I'm able to have a single "Contrib" folder, which contains mobile apps I can't do without (Skype, Feedly, BeerSmith 2, Untapped) on my iPhone with the apps I use mostly on the first screen. I now no longer have to scroll through multiple pages and multiple folders to find what app I want.
Why do I need a Medium.com mobile app when the mobile website works fine? It could be better, of course, but it works. Same with Facebook. I don't see the necessity to have a dedicated Facebook app on my phone when the mobile site gives me all I particularly want from Facebook.
All the sites I visit regularly work fine on mobile - I do wish they'd dedicate more time/resources/money on their mobile sites rather than their apps but I suppose the marketing department calls the shots. Got to take up room on my mobile phone screen!
