I am same as you. Downloading an app for something which can be done in a browser annoys me a lot. Being in programming, many of my friends show similar behaviour. But I think for non technical people, apps are main way to use mobile devices. For example, I got married recently. My wife is a doctor. She uses iPad for personal computing. She tries to find the app for everything she wants to do on her iPad. In fact she uses Google app on her iPad a lot. Want to search something, start the Google app. I was surprised to see this. I tried to tell her that she can search straight from her Chrome browser. But I think it's matter of habit for her now and still prefers to use the Google App for search.
