Thanks. I wouldn't characterize this as "users aren't willing to install any more apps" though; that's quite the leap from the conclusion of the report.
To be clear, I didn't mean it in the sense of "there is a global trend towards less app installations", but rather "I already have 100 apps on this phone, I'm not installing this one too". I think that's anecdotally true for most people who have had a smartphone for a while.
Of course strictly speaking I will install more apps in the future, but the chance that it's going to be the kind of App that I could just use as a website is practically zero.
