You can get better analytics from an app than a page, such as accurate dwell
time on pages and accurate portion of the page that was actually viewed.
Location sensing is also practical and less likely to be disabled for an app
than for a page.
With an app, you don't have to key in a URL or go to the trouble of bookmarking.
You have a direct line from the user's desktop or app drawer to your user
experience.
Apps can cache content you're likely to read in the background while closed, and
without all the overhead of a page.
So those are some reasons, from the publisher's standpoint.
From the user's standpoint, mobile browsers are kinda slow on desktop-style
pages, and as the Mozilla UX head said, kinda suck.
Also from a user's standpoint, I wish I could spoof my Android browser's
User-Agent string so I never have to see another mobile site or app nag again
unless I want to.

At least that is my take on it.
Showing of gimmicks, being up to par with possibilties, even when not needed.
Some people used to have fancy lighters, but now smoking is becoming "a bad
habit", people need some other play/show item.
Nevermind the huge gap between the owners knowledge and the power of these
little machines (and apps).[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Anyone here remember what happened to AOL?
History. It's a good thing to know. And a better thing to understand.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
