Same here. In fact, unless can understand why whatever it is can’t be offered through a web page, or I have no choice, I will not install an app. The reason is security. The more closed-source binaries you put on your phone, the larger your attack surface.

You may not install apps without a good reason, but people install apps at a high rate. They love apps.

Hmm... I've seen claims that a 10% install rate is phenomenal when it comes to getting users to install your app, with 1-2% more typical.

Do you have data that shows otherwise?

Install rates ... depend on many factors. It can be difficult to get installs using advertising and other marketing channels.

But getting regular visitors to your web to install your app is by far the easiest way to get installs.

I think there’s a difference between desktop and mobile. Maybe you’re talking about mobile here?
