Periodic reminder that building a native mobile app in addition to (let alone instead of) a responsive web app is a dumb idea 90% of the time. Of the remaining 10%, 90% are best served by a hybrid app that wraps the web views.

Interesting. My last assessment of usability and functionality was the opposite. What are your examples?

e.g. Reddit, Twitter, LinkedIn, XING, Amazon, every banking and every flight booking app I’ve seen so far. Not to mention 99% of all enterprise apps

Even tough I tend to favor web views for MVPs or small app-investments I disagree on the premise. If you want to sport a website-like experience, yes, make a website. If you want a great, responsive (meaning slick, fast, usable) interface, build a great native app.

Do you have pointers that proof that they are hybrid? I just checked LinkedIn and I found broken animations. ;-) Twitter would be awesome. Their Android implementation does a great job.

It's hard to build a banking app as a web app if you need os-features like Keychain/Keystore or biometric authentication. Can be solved hybrid though.
