for things I use all the time and don't want to fuss with the disaster that is mobile browser tabs, native apps are vastly superior. I have even bundled up and sideloaded "apps" that are just a web view that is pinned to a specific page for some things just so I have a button I can press that always takes me to the same thing and has no potential for extraneous functionality

From a dev point of view I prefer web apps to native apps, because meddling around with the app-stores, xcode and android studio is a huge burden.

From a user point of view I prefer web apps, because I often just have a browser open and switchting through web apps and they also allow me to share links, videos and images even if the app creator didn't directly implement this.
