Seriously. I don’t want to install something on my phone when the dev is just using a WebView, if that’s what it’s called. When the app is basically just a website with the browser hidden.

What’s the reason for that? To attach the customer? To sell the app for money? Is there more ad revenue that way? Do you reach more people?

(Are there any good reasons for it, too? Security, maybe?)

    Laughs in NextDNS.

    So far it didn’t help with just 2 apps.
    Video converter - still loads ads
    Music Folder Player - falls back to offline built-in ads (2 of them)

    The former is somewhat good. You need to watch advertisements to use some functions. I really need to learn using ffmpeg, but I am also lazy.
