Well good advice... in theory.

Most of websites I use regularly are simply not "optimized" for mobile: broken features, display errors, inadequate UI, just unusable on the phone. And it's intentional: they're sabotaging the mobile experience just to push you into downloading their app.

I have no option than using their f..g app.

Yelp is one of the worst. So much so that I will do everything in my power to never download their app out of spite.

Why would you even use Yelp the website?

I use yelp exclusively for photos of the menu, food, and display cases (with prices).

Why would you use their app if they are bostile towards you. That doesn't make any sense.

Because they’re my bank, or some service essential to my life with no good alternative. Google maps, for instance.

What's the alternative? I don't use Google products and Apple maps shows Yelp reviews.

I too use my bank app which they require to as mfa but google maps is totally usable from the website, that is at least one less.

Apple Jacks used to run a series of commercials that had no message other than "Apple Jacks doesn't taste like apples."

I thought this was so stupid that I determined never to try the cereal.
