Is a website instead of an app real?

Question

Mobile development

Hello to all!
such a dilemma. for a taxi service, you need to make a simple mobile application. The essence of the application is to receive orders from the taxi company. Does it make sense not to bother with writing an application for different platforms (ios, android, windows ..) but to make a mobile site and force taxi drivers to open it? what cons do you see here?

Answer 1

Application website
A lot of traffic Little traffic
-graphics -text
only Works everywhere Works only on a certain platform
Authorization is needed Authorization is not needed (Authorization is only required when installing the application)
The design is more complicated The design is simpler
------- Ability to see the location
You can make a website and adapt it to the screen size + make an application and upload it to the market giving access to both users (call a taxi where I stand, how long the taxi will arrive, etc.) and taxi drivers.
I can write an API for a website and a simple application on Android

Answer 2

If it is quite simple, with 1 - 2 pages, then it is more than real.
If it is complex, multi-page, then it is easier to write for a specific platform separately.

Answer 3

Very real. For all platforms, there are browsers that support modern standards - which means that there will be no special problems. But to write a site, you need to be able to write sites, this is the main difficulty.
Also, for mobile devices, a low traffic consumption is very desirable - this will also have to be messed with.

Answer 4

If accounting systems (type 1c), then a website is better than an application. As for taxi drivers, the apps are better. First make for android, then ios and wm.
The site will be dumb, taxi drivers will freak out!
