Mobile web vs mobile app

When I was using FB (I quit, yay!) I used the mobile site. I tried the app a few times and just found the mobile site to better for my needs. It was faster and used far less resources. I had my notifications set for email so never missed anything. I think I tried the app about three times for a total of a week's worth...always went back to mobile as I just thought the app was horrible.
I use the Twitter app. It's not that bad, compared to FB. I've used the mobile site too, either is fine and I don't really have a preference so just sort of stuck with the app.

Hmm, I appear to be in the minority but I prefer the FB app compared to the mobile site. There was a time when I preferred the site but more recent updates changed my opinion.
As for Twitter, the app sucks and much more so the mobile site. I use Falcon Pro. One of the lucky first 100,000 that got in 😊

If you use the site (I use Yahoo Groups) in the browser, with the browser set as desktop, there is more control and information than the app.
I tried Accuweather, it was on sale. However, the Iphone app includes jet stream maps, and looks like the site on the computer. The Android version only has videos and news. I bookmarked the site in the browser set as desktop and can get that page. The Android version makes me feel like a 2nd class citizen since they left out some of the info on the main site.

I hate the Facebook app,it is very unfriendly to the battery of my note 2,and i also hate that they separated the app with the chat client(messenger).So i got rid of both and use the mobile site.I am quite satisfied with it and have no intention of going back to the apps.In general i also prefer having mobile versions of the site than apps for each of them because that would make a lot of apps.
