There’s also companies which seemed to break their Web experience specifically to drive people into the app. Credit Karma hasn’t worked on a browser on mobile or desktop for me in years. But the app version always works.

I guess it’s my fault for trying to use an Intuit product to begin with when I already know they’re evil.

Does Credit Karma's app from last month work too?

This is a reason I also like the web is that after the page loads I can just do stuff instead of getting kicked out to have to update the app ... Or even having to re-log in ...

Fucking Menards and home Depot on mobile are two of the worst websites that exist. They're slow and full of bugs.

Desktop is fine. Mobile sucks. I have to imagine it's intentional to push mobile users towards the app.

Or feature limit the mobile web version.

In both cases, requesting the desktop version (i.e. using a non-mobile user-agent string) will give you back the normal, full-fat web version.
