It is not true if you use it frequently (every few months). I always use apps instead of websites for flight or hotel booking, and the experience is much better.

Huh. I try really hard to avoid installing software for especially those kinds of things.

Every few months is "frequently"?

That's just app hoarding.

Does that matter? The experience is still better.

To me downloading an app from the store, update it regularly, and keep it consuming storage forever doesn't count as a better experience. Specially for an app that I rarely use.

This is all zero effort. The app updates itself and consumes a minuscule amount of storage while most people have 100+gb of free space otherwise unused
