Improved Mobile Performance
Article Summary
Teamweek just made a bold move: they killed their native mobile apps. Instead of maintaining separate iOS and Android codebases, they bet everything on a mobile-optimized web experience.
Back in 2016, Teamweek (a team calendar tool) discontinued their native mobile apps from the App Store and Google Play. Their solution? A performance-enhanced mobile web app that works across all devices and updates automatically without app store delays.
Key Takeaways
- Native apps removed from app stores in favor of mobile web
- Cross-platform support without maintaining separate codebases
- Automatic updates bypass iOS app store review delays
- Users can still add web app to home screen for native-like access
Critical Insight
Teamweek chose mobile web over native apps to ship faster, support all platforms equally, and eliminate app store friction.
