&quot;The actual MAS store app itself is a horrible piece of garbage wrapping a bunch of web views. Just make it a real native app and rewrite it.&quot;<p>Native app is not really a black and white concept when you&#x27;re talking about an app that mainly just interprets and displays live data it receives. If it&#x27;s not html, then it&#x27;s going to be xml&#x2F;json&#x2F;some other markup with a custom presentation layer on top. Why would that be better? In this case I just don&#x27;t think you can point the finger at webview vs native as a problem or a solution. Yes, the app may be crap, but that seems mostly unrelated to the technology used to build it. I&#x27;m guessing it&#x27;s more a factor of lack of resources, team member quality, management, or inter-departmental communication issues in a large corporation.
