Comment on Ask HN: Why do such things like smartphone apps even exist if we have web pages?parent

Comments

think about it like this, have you ever tried to get a lay-person to switch platforms? windows->linux MacOS->windows

android->iOS iOS->windows phone (RiP)

they will bitch and moan all god damn day long, especially on the desktop even though all those systems are basically the same. Even people who only use browsers and word/excel in desktop will HATE to switch windows<->macos (mac also has word/excel)

a lot of it (not all) has to do with the "native feel" of apps
