- wasmitnetzen 5y agoFor some reason, people love mobile apps and hate using the browser on mobile, but the reverse is true on the desktop: Web wins, installing a native program is cumbersome.
- Macha 5y agoiOS has ~50% market share and an inbuilt payment mechanism that users have a higher rate of using than on desktops apps, and is a platform where people have been conditioned that "there's an app for that" compared to one where people have been conditioned "Don't run that exe, it might be a virus!".
- phendrenad2 5y agoOh that's simple. It's impossible to make a webapp that works well on mobile. On mobile, you must be able to tap on buttons that are located along an edge of the screen. Those are the easiest to access points. However, in a web browser, doing so will invoke the search box, the menu bar, the back button, any number of unlucky events. So companies are forced to make a mobile app.
