For a lot of apps, the website is better. But there are still some things that an app does better. Mainly either apps that require a lot of data to download once, or apps that require sensors that don't work as well or at all in the browser. Apps working off-line is much less of an issue now, but still an issue. E.g. one app I wrote to let kayakers check the water levels updates in the background, so the data is available when they get out in the hills with no service. Similarly with some of my astronomy apps, by the time you think to use the app, you might be well out of a service area, so a background data update is very useful.
