    I can tell you exactly what data an app can connect since I’m an android developer, but not web since I can’t dev JavaScript. My understanding is that the gap is quite small.

    About “always running” that’s a complicated scenario and that’s not the best way to put into layman terms. And it has improved heaps in the last 5 years, gradually.

    Marketers love these apps because they could send you notifications, " reminding" you that you’ve not being using the app enough and driving “engagement”. There’s heaps of companies whose main or only product is give marketers a dashboard to send push with pre sets targeting user profiles.
