If I use it daily, app. Else, website. I dont understand why every website that noone looks at more than twice a year needs an app.
I don't use websites on mobile.
I'm happy to use mobile apps in the fediverse. Begrudgingly I'll use mobile banking apps as needed.
I go back and forth between the YouTube app and mobile website. Mobile web is nice because SponsorBlock and Dearrow both work on it.
For frequent use-cases, and where the technology is superior, I will use the native app version, and the web version for all other cases.
Web technology is generally slower than native apps
Mix of both. Messengers, Mastodon and YouTube, mostly apps (except when I want to listen to YT in the background). Maps and games, also apps. But for Lemmy I use the web frontend because I haven't yet found a convincing app and the web frontend is good enough.

For mobile, PWAs if possible.
Neither, I don't use my phone for social media. I use the PC version of everything.
For the fediverse I currently use Voyager and Raccoon for browsing and web for moderation.
As the mod tools becomes better over time I'll likely see myself primarily using Voyager and Raccoon.
In general though it's hard to say:
- Like my banking apps have become so enshitified with spyware level 'features' I deleted the apps and just use their webpages now.
- For Youtube and Peertube I primarily use Newpipe/Tubular/Peertube's official app. I use Invidious as the webpage exception for sharing youtube links here as Youtube's own links won't properly load thumbnails for me.
Apps 💯
Most of the time it's the same thing.
I typically use apps if it's something I'll want to open on my own, and website for things I only ever open if I'm sent a link to it
Do y'all
No, I don't y'all
