The worst one is the UK's NHS app, which is only available as an app, despite being just a webview wrapper! I have no idea what they were thinking.

Sometimes it’s a compliance thing, e.g we can only show health data if your device passes some security controls first.
What happens when you visit whatever URL is being wrapped?
You go to the nhs webpage and it works in the same way.
Login is better on the iOS app as you can use touch id/faceId and not userid/password also the webpage asks for cookies as it can't seem to remember the choice
Really? What's the URL that would allow me to see test results and book appointments?

IME those apps often have the HTML/JS embedded, so you would have to extract the contents, host them somewhere and proxy the API calls.
I dunno, I haven't reverse engineered it to find the URL. But I would imagine it gets confused about authentication.
Would put money it on it using something like '?device_verified=1'.
