Mobile app or Web app?

Post by objectivecdev » Mon, Jan 15, 2018, 8:32 AM UTC

I run a small mobile app development studio. Since last 6 months, we are seeing increased demand for web application inquiries while a huge decline in mobile apps inquiries.

I think this trend will continue in 2018. What do you think of it?

I think the average business gets no advantage from a mobile app as opposed to a web site. The average user gets an active detriment since I find "apps" are frequently harder to use than web sites, are less frequently updated, less complete, buggier, etc.
