I deleted Facebook from my iphone because i don’t want to give them that much access, and now only use their web app on my iphone. And it’s horrible. If Facebook can’t get it right, who can?
My latest example is from 30 minutes ago, where I tried uploading s video; and almost gave up after 5 mins. The UI was hard to understand, extremely slow and never let me understand what was happening.
Professionally I’m an iOS lead on a dual platform (iOS @ Android) app that has hundreds of thousands of users. I’ve occasionally wondered about whether we should switch to React Bative and using Web Facebook always cures me of that idea.
And the fact that i’ve spent hundreds of hours optimizing our app and every view to ensure they launch and open as quickly as possible, down to managing every bit of memory use as ruthlessly as possible. And letting our users use our app offline. Every second costs us users and dollars.
Then there are new technologies like ARKit. Native is still the best way to go if you can afford the time and people to do it the best way possible.
