All of them, in my opinion.
I have not encountered a single case where a web app offered a better experience than a native app.
There is a reasonable argument that it's cheaper to develop, allowing support for more platforms to be rolled out with less development time. That's the single reason that might be valid.
- lern_too_spel 9y agoI strongly prefer the Twitter PWA to the Twitter app. It uses only 279 KB storage on my phone. When Firefox 58 finishes rolling out, I'll play around with using web extensions to customize the app, which is something that will likely never be possible with a native app.
- ergothus 9y agoAlso the case where you have lots if transient users. Far better to have a first-rmtime visitor experience s mobile-friendly webpage that can act as an app than to throw a "download our app" message at them. For companies with more reliable visitors, Native definitely has an edge in options, but if a company is trying to build feature and experience parity across platforms, much if that edge is dulled.
