I’ve never seen a web app I was happy with being a web app. I understand that a lot of people prefer web-based tools but a lot of us cannot stand them and try to get our work out of the browser as much as possible because we dislike the UX of the browser platform.

G maps is surprisingly doable. Been using it as a web app for years now whenever my main map app CityMapper fails.

How about Google Flights as an example?

  • I’ve never really used Google flights: I tend to buy delta tickets either on my desktop via the website or via the Delta mobile app.

    I prefer the Apple Weather app on desktop and mobile to weather websites, though; and, I prefer the Google Map mobile app to mobile website.
