The problem is, I tnink, that most people actually prefer apps over websites - even just a wrapper - for whatever reason.
- jorisw 3mo agoPossible reasons: - No waiting for a page to load - Home screen access (most don't know about bookmarking web apps) - Discovery (where do you go to find PWAs?) - Features (native apps have access to more platform APIs) - Absence of browser chrome (more immersive UX), though on iOS the chrome can be removed from PWAs once bookmarked, using meta tags
- criddell 3mo agoThose are all pretty good. Some other reasons: - well written apps use less memory, battery, and bandwidth - security: apps go through at least some review while a web app could change with every reload - scripting: apps often expose more functionality to Apple Shortcuts - accessibility: the system accessibility features seem to work better with apps - UI/UX: the best native apps are always going to be more responsive and feel better than the best web apps
