Why if you can do that in a browser? Isn't much simpler? I don't want to install an app for every stupid thing. It's just simper to open the browser at a particular URL. The browser is a runtime environment capable (with PWA, that are not supported on iOS) of doing 95% of things a native app can do with decent performance without needing the user to install anything at all.
Anyway nowadays apps are even built with web technologies (such as React Native), would just be simpler to have only the web version, a single codebase that can be used with an iOS device, an Android device, a PC, a smartwatch, a TV, whatever. Distributing an app is a pain, especially for iOS, you have to submit it for review, Apple has to approve it, you cannot do certain things, why? I get that on Android is simpler, just install the APK and done, but unfortunately there are a ton of iOS devices out there.
