Back then when we had fewer options of choosing what to do and and how we go about doing it, things have become way more easier as the web seems to be taking over. But is this the climax of our long known native apps? Most users prefer to visit a page where they can see the data they need and afterwards, that's all about it. 'The whole thing should just go away'. As we continue to use web apps daily, we continue to abuse it also, talking in the aspect of a software developer. We make apps which are supposed to be native apps, a web app, mostly, because that's the technology we know, but the end users are also watching.
It's more difficult for a user to remember the site he saw an info on than him reluctantly snooze into his native app to grasp what he wants at any time. Yes tell me that the browser history is there, and how easy has it been for you trying to find info from a long list of history for a site you don't know it's name? You must have gone into a deadlock when you ended up wasting your time.
Most sites now provide a web version and a native version, be it mobile or desktop. Companies are beginning to discover the willingness of a user to open a native app which they frequently see, sitting on their device than trying to remember and frequently typing the same address or even worse a long URL which is impossible to cram.
Not every user is interested in bookmarking your page, moreover of how much importance is the page to him? Most users do not use the browser bookmark, the little that do, how many of them want to pollute their browser with so many saved pages on their welcome screen?
Think about it if really that all should be a web app or a native app. If you're targeting high visits and usage of your platform then you should consider that native option, whether it will be good for your target users
