I hate that I need an app to change the colour of my fucking lightbulb, give me a remote instead, damn.

That being said, I prefer using apps over the browser because they load way faster.

There's a lot of reasons to use a app over a browser.

Speed is not one of them.

As a web dev, we can absolutely provide you faster experience. Depending on the service and needs, we can blow any app awaym

But a app can access hardware tools that browsers cannot.

I don't know the technical reason but, on my phone, the browser takes a few seconds to load every page, while on an app it's way faster.
