This might be a bit of a generalization. People tend to use apps for websites they visit very frequently (eg more than 2-3x a day). Even more so when the mobile version of the website is rife with bugs and/or limitations.
Reddit's mobile site is passable but the third party apps blow it out of the water on both iOS and Android.

- freehunter 10y agoSupporting anecdote: my wife won't use Windows Phone or Windows tablets because the Pinterest app apparently sucks on those platforms. Counter anecdote: I refuse to use the Facebook app on iOS because it takes like 500mb and the website works about 90% the same.
