I'm looking at the list of top websites and thinking "when have I ever wanted to install the mobile app?" The only one I see that I use is Spotify. Maybe the time spent on mobile is in other apps?
But I'm probably an outlier because I spend most of my time on websites, even on phone and tablet.
It would be nice to see this broken down by market segment. I don't see any banks in the list. I use my bank's app for certain reasons like depositing checks and Zelle.
But I'm probably an outlier because I spend most of my time on websites, even on phone and tablet.
Meanwhile our users are clamoring for app version of our web app, even though it's just a web wrapper. I guess some people just have a "there's an app for that" mentality.
because western especially people got to tech has more chance to comfortable being on the web than the app
example of Gen Z and alpha social media addict that used to use Tiktok,Snaps etc
You cant deny that the use of web is dying and I still not mentioning Asia market where mobile is the first choice
This seems like the revenge of TV. People used to spend many hours watching TV and now video is back, with algorithms that try to give you more stimulating things to watch.
Other entertainment (like video games) have to compete with that. But I’m not sure that websites have to compete with that if they have more practical purposes. What will people do when not watching TV?
The metric of “hours spent on entertainment” doesn’t seem like the right one to use. It doesn’t measure the value you get from an activity or how much you’re willing to spend on it.
For example, does a banking app need to try to compete with video games for hours spent on them? Something seems wrong with that comparison.

I think what youre missing is that most of these are just websites, not "apps". And they suck
