To read the article I had to wait for the Play Store install an "instant app" that looks exactly like the website.
But when I tried to watch the video embedded, it told me that I needed to install the "full" app.
Why go through all of this when a good ol' website would've been more than enough?
- rascul 4y agoI tried in both Firefox and Chrome on my Android phone. I didn't get prompted to install an app, Play Store didn't come up, I could read the article and play the videos fine in the browser. I wonder if maybe I disabled something that caused the behavior you saw.
- ahmedfromtunis 4y agoI'm using Chrome. And it didn't prompt me for anything. I clicked on the link, the page was open in Chrome for a split second before a new screen labelled Play Store took over. Of course I could've just cancelled it during the 10 seconds or so it took install this "instant app" but I was curious about this new thing. I genuinely expected and wanted to test what I assumed would be an improved experience. I was wrong.
- thatguy0900 4y agoI've never used them. Are these apps ever actually a notably better experience? I always just assume it makes them more money so I've always backed out of those pages.
