They're for the people who insist on an app. Most of these "apps" are just
a web browser in a wrapper.

I don't have one of these fancy phones so I don't understand all these
apps. Each shop seems to have its own app. Why can't the user just go
onto an internet browser and visit the shop's web site? What does an
app do that a browser can't? Why install half a dozen apps for six
shops when you could just run one browser?

An app can do things on the phone that a browser can't.
E.g. apps can store stuff on the phone which could be useful.
