So don’t. I can’t fathom what you’d need an IKEA app for. If you need an app for something brief but specific, delete it after you’re done.

On the other hand, apps frequently work better with less clutter than the mobile website. It’s wild how many websites clearly aren’t tested on real mobile devices — usually just by shrinking a browser window and saying “looks good on mobile” then moving on.



Those websites would probably be better of the resources, time, and budget from the app were spent on the website.

Amusingly, you've just described a web browser.


And just as maddening is that it goes both ways. So many websites (including technical blogs made by people who post here and should know better!!!) are the width of a damn phone screen, even if you view it on desktop. Lazy website development abounds, sadly.
