Seriously. I don’t want to install something on my phone when the dev is just using a WebView, if that’s what it’s called. When the app is basically just a website with the browser hidden.

What’s the reason for that? To attach the customer? To sell the app for money? Is there more ad revenue that way? Do you reach more people?

(Are there any good reasons for it, too? Security, maybe?)

    Some people are missing the forest for the trees here

    Having a businesses app on your phone is better regular advertising than anything they could ever pay for.

    They just want an excuse to make you look at their logo and think about their business as regularly as possible
