My air conditioner's instruction manual had a whole "we have an app!" thing on it. I installed it for funsies. I noticed pretty quickly that there was no button for changing the temperature setting. All you can do is turn the thing on or off. Turns out, there's a button for "advanced settings" that takes you to a webpage. On that webpage, you have to log in again, but once you do, you can change temperature, create timers and do all kinds of things. Completely insane design. I bet they built out the webapp first, then some PM type went in and was like "no, we need an app" and forced them to build a "native app". Then they ran out of time and just put a link to the website in the app.
