Hey Dean, The concept of "App only" launches has gained pace in the last year or two. Given that people are very well connected with mobile technology and internet. What I feel about this is it must have become an effective way of collecting data and trends in a short time which kind of bypasses the trust factor. We can anytime restrict the data that we share with an application (I use Android) but not everyone knows how to do that. (Eg: My parents, they don't care about the information the app will have access to if they press allow while installing an App from the PlayStore.) So, easy data!
"App only" brand would have to spend more to build trust with its customers. So overall, What I feel is everyone wants fast results to sustain the changing markets! On the other hand App + website would cost less to build trust with its customers and the results can take more time. This is my viewpoint. Correct me if I am wrong!
