Why the fuck would anybody install an APP to use a website?

(Puts on clown face) "Sure, I'll install this program on my pocket computer from the Urban Dictionary to save the time it would take me to open a web browser and type in the URL of it, all it costs is me giving direct access to my stored personal data and real-time activities"

The state of people blindly using apps for everything is atrocious.

“But it saves me a 1USD on my fast food burger!”

McDonald's charges a lot more without the app tho

fun fact: McDonald's app has tighter "security" than my bank app and won't even work on rooted devices

It absolutely will work on a rooted device. Mine is rooted and it works fine. Also, in my experience (maybe this is just in my area) outside of the points perk, prices are the same between the app and physically at the store as I have checked out of curiosity.

there are bundles and deals which are only available in the app, usually you can save like 50% with them
depends on the region i guess ¯_(ツ)_/¯

e.g. I could either get a big mac for like 22zl? or big mac + medium fries + any sauce for 16zl, or a cheeseburger for 30% of it's price + 300 points (which you literally get back, exact amount for your order)
