Tapatalk is the most annoying one to me, probably because it actually pops up a modal dialog. One of our local news websites is really bad too, asking every single time if I want to install their (crappy) app. Worse, if even if you do have their app, it offers no way to go to a specific article I clicked a link from. 99% of the time that I'm on their site, it's because I've clicked a link from a tweet or something. I want to go to that specific article. And the app is totally broken for that use case -- I have to go to the home page and then try to find where the article is.
I actually greatly prefer apps over websites in general, and if it's something I use a lot, I'll install the app (assuming it's decent). But I don't want the app shoved in my face when I go to the website. If I'm at the website, there's a reason. Advertising it non-obtrusively is ok, especially if it remembers after I've dismissed it once.
