I agree! An app developer needs to be mindful of if their app is a daily/weekly/monthly/annual use case. I have plenty of apps on my phone that I purposefully keep around but will probably only use when I do that big trip once year:
TripAdvisor, AirBnb, WhatsApp, GoPro, EpicMix etc. Other apps: Amazon, Shazam, Bank(to cash checks) I also keep around but use rarely. Under a conventional definition I've probably been marked as a "churned" user many times over for Shazam. It keeps sending me notifications for random things (Click here to find out the trending new hot single from Shakira!) so I've turned them off. I also hate when companies force you to download their app to do something. United wouldn't let me check-in and print my boarding pass from my computer. I had to download an app and scan my passport with my camera. |

I have a family member who still uses a dumbphone, so he's just SOL. These arbitrary restrictions must be maddening, especially when they clearly have an HTML/JS implementation already with a cross platform wrapper around it, and they've deliberately chosen that nobody should ever be able to use it from a computer.
