Avrum from FreshBooks here (one of the authors of the post).

After login, the 'Create Account' and 'Login' buttons are replaced with two links: 'Email me a link to Reports' and 'View Reports in Safari'.

The primary call-to-action is the email because we recognize that the viewing experience for a traditional accounting report is still best on a computer (we actually say that in the copy). That said, if you need access immediately we provide it in a webview that shows the same content as the webapp (as you guessed).

Performance is fine on these pages but ultimately not as good native.
