I can see it being useful as a web app.

I would suggest that you consider also add a mobile app so you have a rounded offering.

As on a regular basis I see a video in tiktok and want to share with people who refuse to join Tiktok, so use one of the many apps available to download and then send via WhatsApp.

Why does everything have to be a mobile app? The website works fine on mobile.

    Indeed. This compulsion is infuriating because it becomes normalized to require an app for things that very much should be a website.

    At least once a month I have the experience where I either have to ask someone “am I forced to used your app to use your product/service” and they are baffled by the resistance. I just went through the exercise of net-sniffing my kids’ school bus status app because it is obviously just a wrapper around a web UI but nobody —- not the district nor the company that makes the app —- will actually admit this. Turns out there is a secret web page that offers the EXACT same functionality from a mobile browser. And the kicker: it works better.

This wouldn't get past app review.
