While 'not really needed' is a literally true statement, the same could be said for running water and in-home heating.
Native applications are 'needed' if you want to provide the best possible user experience; Playboy is simply doing the best they can given the constraints under which they're forced to operate. This isn't the "right" direction, it's simply the only one available to them.
- hoggle 15y agoI do agree with all of this but I like to think that with some collective effort we'd only be some iterations away for these kind of apps ("Shiny Real World Magazine Simulation") to evolve into something of equal, possibly even better quality? I don't talk about e.g. games or navigation apps nor am I denying the polish which went into the different native mobile frameworks/platforms. I, for one, welcome our heterogenous appscape.
