i download the PDF when I buy my ticket. it's literally one click extra. in fact, I download it when I OPEN the PDF when I buy my ticket-if I'm not using an amnesiac browser, it's literally the same amount of taps as the app to just leave that window open.

that's not actually true-I have used the app, and its MORE steps, using amtrak as a specific example, literally this month.

I'm happy that you've been able to have a positive experience forgoing using apps in some specific instances, but again as stated my point is more generally that sometimes apps can have functionality that provides more convenience than a browser and we don't seem to be furthering that topic with this tangent. Have a good one 👋

okay but when? when does an app provide function a browser couldn't, for commercial silicon valley type 'apps'?

I mean, even the things they used to do that I'm not 100% sure a website could are being stripped out-lyft for example no longer sends notifications except by sms, unless you opt into advertising.
