The mobile web version is intentionally feature degraded, with occasional pop-up nags pushing the app. For that reason, I’d guess a lot of people are using the mobile app.

Ah! I know that from Yahoo Mail (the email address I still use for historical reasons). I even tried the app once, saw that it was actually worse than the website (which is not feature degraded as far as I can tell, at least not the features I use), and since then I just curse and ignore the nags...

If you use firefox mobile, there's a toggle switch under the menu to set "Desktop Version", I have found it prevents these intentional mobile degraded sites.

  Although "Desktop version" is also tied to a desktop viewport, so you have to deal with either too tiny font sizes or lots of scrolling.

Crippling your website on mobile to push your app is a scumbag move and guarantees I'll never create any persistent account on your system. Definitely won't be installing the app, because if you're already scum, you probably have no limits and I'm not installing what you're pushing.
